So there’s an in my ranked match,he’s acting all good and he was cursing at everyone even though he’s feeding early game but late game he started to burst because he’s .

Example of what he said so far: “This fucking , she feed” - even though carried with 30+ kills “This fucking dog” - Because I failed to steal enemy’s first drag when I already gave my team 3 drags. “This fucking ” - because “let him die” not really tho, tried, he’s just salty. “Muppets” - when we lose the game because he decided to run into a 1v5

Although when we were having a team fight at baron, he was farming inside the jungle, that's how the enemy got the baron and win the game.. Is that bad enough to get a punishment or nah?

The system punishes based on consistency x severity, meaning one can be punished for 1 game of extreme toxicity or many many games of mild toxicity.

There are also 4 tiers of punishment;

10 game chat restriction
25 game chat restriction
14-day ban
Permaban

One progresses through the tiers through consecutive punishments, unless they used extreme toxicity which skips straight to a 14-day ban for first punishment.

Extreme toxicity is defined as using hate speech and it doesn't sound like Aphelios used hate speech. So at most his chat will be considered as moderate toxicity and he'll need a few games of similar behavior before he'll get punished.

Of course, we don't know Aphelios' behavioral history, so we won't be able to tell you whether he will get a punishment or not. If he has a clean account, he won't get punished from that game alone. On the flip side, if he's had a recent 14-day ban, then that game will likely permaban him.

But who knows what his behavioral history is like.

They have to say a zero tolerance word for you to get one of those instantly after game punishments, otherwise the punishment is usually due to X amount of reports over Y amount of games, which sometimes can show up directly after games if that was the last game for the threshold.

Usually punishment for chat related stuff happens with automated bots, which pretty often do a bad job, also there is no use of punishing toxic people unless you are a sadist. There is a mute option for everything and you will do yourself a favor, but when someone is inting/trolling then feel free to report since there is no way to mute the guys inting ( even tho i think riot stated recently that inting isnt punishable) .

Say literally anything like "useless", "worthless", "l2p" and you get ban.

It depends on what people say - there are flag type words, phrases, the no-no words, message counts, etc.

If someone is calling you "bad" in a round about way, its harder, or near impossible for their system to pick it up. If someone just goes **** u ***** u *** RIP the account - negative attitude, verbal abuse, hate speech /GG. If someone says - I think beginner bots would be better in your place, or you're a legend, clearly the best (and you're 2-16)... Or just saying you're dog (referring to dogs**t) Then you can see how an auto-ban bot would struggle to pick that up as toxic/verbal.

If people are direct and use direct verbiage to you, they will get banned, eventually. If they are smart about their flame, chances are it never will get flagged for punishment. Usually the passive aggressive sarcasm is much easier to deal with than direct roasting/flames. I kinda chuckle when people are clever, even if the flame is directed at me. The direct flame/low intellect four letter words just makes me smh.
