Fun thing about toxicity is that it is defined by its effect on other people. Remember, a toxic person is not necessarily someone with a negative attitude, it's someone who spreads negative attitude. Basically, even if you're not intentionally toxic, it is still possible for other people to interpret what you're saying in ways you didn't intend. That said, it takes quite a few reports to get to Tribunal. Would you mind giving us a link to your Tribunal case?
Now, some things to think about for the future. Smileys are, like it or not, incredibly important if you want to come off as positive in any sort of chat or textual communication medium. Take questions, for example. Questions are incredibly easy to interpret as politely worded demands, and demands are by their nature generally negative. How to prevent that from happening? Colon end parenthesis. Suddenly there's an honest and sincere question where there used to be an expectation.
Even if you expect your team to do something completely obvious (like smiteless blue when against Lee), it is still a good idea to ask, because it will make them more happy to help. If you additionally add a simple "thank you
" or a more advanced "best leash EU/NA
", your teammates will not only start off the game feeling good about themselves, they'll also be feeling good about you.
Additionally, if you asked for smiteless but didn't get it, a sad smiley might actually make your team feel guilty, where a "wtf" would make them angry or annoyed at you.
This all goes doubly if you see someone doing something wrong and you want them to stop. Using the Soraka example above, something like "It's getting kinda hard to last hit, Soraka, could you stop hitting the minions please?
" would have helped Soraka realize she was doing something wrong and, honestly, it would have made you not come off as someone who wanted her to gtfo of your game.
Also, it's generally not advisable to write a sentence that contains "wtf" after someone on your team did something wrong. It's such a negative, unconstructive, demoralizing expression and the only thing you'll achieve by using it is aggressively slinging blame at one of your teammates. Or rather, that's the impression everyone else will get. In your Nasus game above, it would probably have served your purposes better to ask Yi why he didn't Q, for example.

GA is garbage when the passive's down. It's also garbage when your team dies and you're the last one standing. It's also garbage when your team is forced to retreat outright. It's also garbage when hard cc. It's also garbage when your corpse gets camped. It's also garbage when you get caught out. It's also garbage when your team doesn't peel. It's also garbage when you never take lethal damage.
Get banshees if you lag badly. Get QSS if you don't. A rebirth passive does not a good item make.
The best thing for me when I play ADC and get GA is that there are suddenly a lot fewer situations where the enemy team can afford to focus me. If they blow damage and CC on my GA, my team can jump them and when I resurrect we suddenly have the upper hand. This, of course, assumes that my positioning is good.
Other than that, I might go BV if they are 3-5 AP champions, and I'd probably go Randuins against 3-5 AD.
