It's not pre-school, it's a business. The more people that play, the more potential income Riot gets. Being harassed and having your game experience ruined by another player makes people more likely to quit. Therefore, to maximize potential income Riot needs to minimize negative behavior.
If people actually liked getting trash talked, Riot wouldn't care. But really it just pisses people off and makes them want to go play hearthstone or something.
So does getting reported for pointing out horrible gameplay. It's a cache 22. It's the PC thing to do and I like that they do... something... but I really don't see how chat offenses are punished. It's muteable, ignorable and can't affect gameplay unless you want it to. Intentional feeding, griefing, and the like should be reduced. But I LIKE trash talk. The psychological game is sometimes the BEST way to win. That people can't handle it IS pre-school, and policing it is RIOT acting like mommy, not a business. Ever see Coke or Apple say you can't talk smack while playing a sport while drinking or using their product? Does the NHL ban fighting, trash talking, fan's screaming "hey, you suck"? NO, because that kind of stuff is absurd. It's part of healthy competition.
