feeding and giving up in ranked games isnt? i find that to be a much worse offense as u can just mute the asshole, but u cant ignore the negative impact of your 0:8 mid laner. im fine with toxic players, but the players who spam gg, /ff, open mid, go afk, trolll, int really should get punished harder. Also, they are the ones that make toxic people toxic
edit: turns out they are much harder to detect, ty for the replies
Feeding and not participating or throwing the match is bannable, it's just a lot easier to detect toxic chat than to prove someone is intentionally ruining a game. When caught, they don't get chat restrictions for it either, they get a 14 day or permanent ban. Just don't feed into the toxic environment, and make sure you report them to help stop them from continuing to do it.
Toxicity in chat is very easily detected and prove as it is right there in the chat logs, and there's no reason for you to be rude towards your teammates. Intentionally feeding/giving up in ranked games (or any game mode for that matter) is more difficult to prove because it can easily look like someone having a bad game.
Now yes, I do understand that there are clear cut case of intentionally feeding (going 0/20/0 and buying nothing but boots), but I'd be willing to bet that in most cases, the intentional feeding isn't as clear cut as this. Riot wants to be absolutely certain that they don't have any false positives, or at least have as few as possible, which is why it can take longer for intentional feeders to be punished. It's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to detect and punish intentional feeders quickly without having a decent number of false positives.
That being said, when they do get caught, the punishments are indeed harsher than those punished for toxic chat. They immediately go straight to a 14 day ban, possibly even a permanent ban. They don't get chat restrictions at all, due to the fact that their punishment had nothing to do with what they were saying in chat.
oh look, someone 12 hrs ago got punished for intentional feeding.
aka they do get punish. Its a little harder for the automated system to catch them, but they still get caught.
The reason you will be downvoted and mocked is because THESE are the actions of a majority of people and do NOT want to see their favorite spiteful actions being banned quicker.
