Anyone else feel like there has been an uptick in the number of toxic players on the boards?

I feel like "toxic players" have started coming to the boards in greater numbers lately. I don't have any data or facts behind this, but I've started to see a lot of "I was banned for defending myself" or "I was banned for responding to a troll" kinds of posts get not only positive scores, but even reach the hot page.

Anyone else noticing this? Anybody have any theories as to why?

Because the game is more team oriented instead of being able to carry bad players they bring the whole team down. So everyone is on tilt when they're losing LP because they have one bad player on their team.

I noticed an increased amount of toxic players in the times about 12pm - 20pm PT which could be caused by pupils coming home from school. Since I'm from EUW, it always looks like: europe daytime is quite civilized and toxic posts being downvoted. When I check back the next morning, I see a ton of bashing and flaming threads and posts being massively upvoted that instead.
