The ban process is confusing

So I just got banned for 14 days for being toxic, Ill admit it, I shouldnt have said what I said... but... Im not going to cry about me wanting to get unbanned as I deserved it but the thing is, the people I was rightfully complaining at wont. A Malhazar went afk at level 2 and then fed when he joined back while spamminng his keyboard in chat, a teemo went 1/15 and kept running into 1v5s until the end of the game. I dont care that I got banned, I was toxic, but the thing is, I know for a fact that these people will not get banned and that just ruins it for me. RIOT needs to be stricter on ingame behaviour more than chat, talking #### in an online game shouldnt be worse than ruining a 40 minute game for your entire team.

You dont know for a fact. Your just outraged that in your mind they are not banned and never will be.

Iv played for 8 years and seens 1000's of people banned.

Iv personally had a hand in 100's of bans.

iv gotten over 20 toxic players accounts removed from the community already this year alone.

If your reports are not leading to bans it means riot doesnt value them as you have made to many false or unjustified reports in the past.

TLDR people get banned all the time. For feeding and afking ect

I try to never report people if they are not doing what I said they are doing. I only report for greifing if someone starts going 1/10 and even then doesnt play safe. Also, if League doesnt already give you a notification when someone you reported gets banned, they should. I can also speak from experience that I have played around 2 games that my team were super toxic so I would just walk down mid and die, I didnt get banned for those 2 games, I got banned from one game however for saying that I have little hope as this Nami was buying attack damage items.

League does send you a message saying justice has been severed and a player you reported was punished. I get them all the time. Its like i said reports are valued more by players who have a strong history of making good reports and receive few reports themselves

Also, Those games that you Intentionally fed some of the people in your game most likely reported you for it. But it is harder to tell whether someone is doing that on purpose or just having a really bad game so riot gives players the benefit of the doubt on those games unless you get 20+ reports for feeding, and then when you get reported for other things like flaming and being toxic those previous reports are reviewed and taken into account when considering your ban. They even go in and look at post lobby and pre game lobby chat logs at that point. Everything has an effect on if your banned or not. All your previous reports chat logs EVERYTHING! Certain things are just more weighted or are harder or easier to detect then others.

What you describe is not griefing. It's called being bad.

I suspect many of your reports for griefing and intentional feeding are the same - reporting players who are just having a bad game.

I dont report someone unless it is obvious they are no longer trying, such as the teemo I previously said that carried on running into 1v5s when he was under powered.
