..And also flamed the jungler, me and the top laner, all of whom were doing well.

And she is STILL playing.

HOW is this behavior not punished, yet you can lose your account for upsetting oversensitive crybabies? It's outstanding.

Generally not punishable, only in very rare scenarios where it is found to be done consistently and with malicious intent. Even then, I'm just going off of what I remember reading one time in a Rioter comment that I haven't been able to find since. I could be wrong.

inted lane (Running into 4 people alone)

Making a bad choice =/= inting.

If it's a clear cut case of them running into the team without moving or making an effort to survive, yes, that is intentionally feeding and you can get punished for that. Players have been punished for that before.

That type of behavior is punished. Here's an example of it happening.

The reason why toxicity is punished more frequently than feeding/griefing/AFKing is because toxicity is much more easily identifiable than the latter. It's much easier to look at a game's chat logs and flag someone who used a racial slur than it is to look at a 0/6/3 Ashe who made one questionable play. At what point is the line drawn? How do you determine who's inting and who's just playing poorly? How do you do it consistently, accurately, and through an automated system?

There are too many factors at play, that's why feeding tends to be punished less than toxicity.

Also, obligatory note: Toxicity can lose you a game just as easily as intentionally feeding can. Someone who is raging and not putting their focus into the game is just as much a liability as the person AFK farming top. Also, it takes multiple offenses for someone to lose their account over it whereas gameplay punishments are much more strict and at most offer 2 chances.

They also flamed everyone else the whole game, blaming people who were doing well for losing lane and dying to ganks despite us pinging the enemy jungler. At one point she died because she ran into the enemy team while typing. Insulting our jungle and toplaner who were winning. Then after the game proceeded to add me to a lobby and made some rather sexist comments. I blocked her of course, but it baffles me that people like this don't get any punishment.

The general consensus is that because you added the player you're aware of what language they may use in PMs and as such the player shouldn't be held accountable for it. If someone is negative in game, don't add them.

Not saying that I agree with it, but Riot tends to not be super strict about PMs.

PM related punishments are a gray area at best.

Toxicity, intentionally feeding, and more are all punishable. Just because one person you interacted with didn't get punished doesn't mean the community is allowed to run rampant. It's an automated system, errors can occur, punishments can take time to be doled out or require manual review, and sometimes require "cases" to be built up first.

One person not being punished isn't indicative of Riot justifying negativity.

This wasn't PMs, it was post-game lobby.

Maybe they have a chat restriction?
