Am I the only one that hates just having to put up with people's shit in ranked? You can't reply to negativity at all or your team/the enemy team will just flip it on you, x9 you, and get you chat restricted. It is ABSURD what this community has fallen into and Riot genuinely should look into changing things up so that the ban bot doesn't pop off so hard.
Number of reports don't matter though. What does is the response you gave. Either mute and ignore them, finishing the game, and reporting if you feel it is necessary. Or, you retaliate and be equally as poor in behavior and risk punishment.
You CAN reply to negativity in Ranked, but not with more negativity because you will just be exacerbating the problem.
For example: When a teammate says "You're useless"
Acceptable Response: "Certainly seems like it this game lol" "Sorry, having a bad game, I'll try to focus more"
Not Acceptable: "stfu" "u2 f*****"
If you have to say something negative or respond, do it out loud or in your head.
