I'm going to have to agree with you on this one, but not so much on G2 players increasing in toxicity, but rather being all around a little worse. The first time I got in to G2 this season I was on a winning streak and carrying with Rengo, but after I failed promo for G1 everything went downhill from there and was demoted to G3. After a while I got down to G5 (tough times both in league and out, not blaim that stuff too much and I do admit I wasn't doing too good some of the time), I can generally do decent or go positive, I'm actually a pretty passive player most of the time, just looking mistakes and stuff to go in. Anyways, I eventually got back into G2... Didn't win a single damn game, didn't feed, even the last game (6) in that rank I went 15/1/9 and still lost followed by being demoted again. They (random teams I got) were so inconsistent and their gameplay was everywhere. W might ace or get a few people and then they would overstay "dude no, we got this" and then all die. Or have extremely bad calls in a game with a 25+ kill difference and us being on the lower end (I'm talking about being below 10 and them with 25 or higher than us), and STILL trying to fight them "we have a good comp" "focus better next time" or someone forgets to use their abilities. These are pretty normal things, but the only thing that was consistent was how often it happened. Regardless of what it was specifically, there's always something that has to go wrong more often than before.
