..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.

Maybe they have a chat restriction?
