First time chat restriction made me worse

I am nice. I like to communicate with my team since my strength is game knowledge more than 1 vs 9 mechanics.

Now normally I just immediately ignore blatent toxicity. In a recent game it was over from the start when an enemy champ ran mid to die over and over without saying anything. We all agree it was awful and we would report... Except one guy who started flaming our team. Said a host of negative things... I would be amazed if either of them were not already banned.

Now I normally ignore those people but was so baffled by the toxic behavior when it was his OWN teammate trolling... I engaged to see why. Ended up saying three swear words, tame, but swore. Okay so I get it, chat restriction.

But here starts the mixed feelings on it... Was it the trolls who reported me? Someone who gets 9 reports in a game should have zero ability to report anyone else. Or did others in the game report me?

As for the 10 game restriction? I actually turned into a worse player, was pissed I couldn't type simple things like dragon, enemy jungle top, mid roaming... I took. A break from ranked and just played normals to run through the restriction. All in all my experience with a chat restriction in no way is "improving" my behavior.

It makes me want to quit the game, not help other players, not type at all, and just become a guy who rages at teammates when they don't read my mind and pings. As someone else mentioned it makes you afraid to chat at all. That is not the answer IMO.

this seems like a "you" problem as opposed to a problem with the system

let me ask you this, when your 10 game restriction is up, will you swear at your teammates again?

10 CR is the first and mildest form of punishment. You DO NOT get this level of punishment based on one game (or 3 for that matters). You receive this 10 CR based on being consistently mildly toxic in many games. It is difficult to further discuss your 10 CR without seeing chatlogs for ALL games shown on your report card (not just this one game) as well as not editing or commentate any of them.
