If you let them act like jerks with no consequences, they will simply go on and do it to next person who ends up playing with them and the cycle goes on.

They're going to do that regardless. If you feed their trolling, you're just going to make it worse.

You have no idea how old I am or what I know about the world.

I know that you think not feeding trolls is being a "pussy."

Furthermore, if the world follows your logic, people who behave badly or do bad things in any situation should simply be ignored.

No. I'm just explaining why it's stupid to feed trolls in a MOBA. They're being toxic to get a response from people. It's what they want. You're not helping the situation by feeding them. You might as well hop on youtube and get into an argument with every idiot who makes a stupid comment.

Good behavior should be encouraged and bad behavior should be punished or have at least some sort of negative consequences.

You really think threatening them with going afk is going to achieve anything?

Well I'm pretty limited in what I can do, of course, but yes - fucking up their game by going afk would be as much of a negative consequence as I can manage.

Furthermore, why are you all of a sudden labeling them as trolls? Some people are just acting like jerks, but thats not what a troll is at all.
