I have no idea why riot punishes verbal abuse much more strict than actual abuse. I can't even say any negative words to abusers b/c I fear ban. How can human always be cool to others ruining our games? And also how can people know all the summoner rules about chatting which are pretty subjective? Does riot want us to be robots with out emotion? I'm really confused.

remmember when you made the account there was an "i agree with the ToS" button that you clicked without bothering to actually read any of it?
exactly
I think many are forgetting why verbal abuse is punished more quickly (not more harshly): only one input is needed to analyze your chat, and that is your chat. Compared to detecting feeding and trolling, it is simple. Because of that fact, punishing based on chat has been automated, meaning a Rioter is not reading all your chat and making the determination.
If and when the system that detects inting and trolling improves, I can guarantee you this board will be filed by them just like how it's currently being filled with people who show negativity in their chat.
The rules are actually quite simple. It can be summed up in as little as 4 words: "Don't be a dick."
Once you get that, you should be golden!
Inters get banned too, and it is almost always escalated. Scripters also.
I don't know why people think that because they were punished for trying to ruin someone's game with words that no one else is being punished for trying to ruin games through gameplay.
Words can create a very unwelcoming environment. Riot wants to grow, or at the very least maintain their popularity for many years to come. That means they need to keep their player base active and growing. When I started this game in season 4, every single game was filled with irritating immature players who spent more time talking shit than actually playing the game. Back then I regularly had people die while typing, and then blame me for THEIR death because they were typing. Personally I like a bit of shit talk, but when the edgy kids want to pop off with slurs that they'd never say in public it gets old very quickly. As much as I think it is bullshit I can't tell a rager off, it's worth just knowing they get that immediate 14-day ban for a slur or typing "kys".
As for inters, nothing much to do but report them. As a person who used to int on my smurf (back around the time Riot cracked down) I can tell you the best way to ruin the fun is to not react. Legit makes the entire thing pointless without a reaction.
Game is 75% Mentality based, 24% Mechanics based, 1% Luck Based.
