The ranked experience this season is beyond abysmal

Abysmal is a severe understatement. The ranked experience this season is so bad that leagues reputation is irredeemable. Every game without exaggeration has been riddled with crippling and noncompetitive qualities unfit for any multiplayer game. I've gotten 4 back to back notifications of punishment reports from players intentionally ruining games for the pettiest of reasons. Players on my team with under 50% win rates while without exaggeration the enemy team will have players with upwards of 80% win rates in the same game multiple times over. Ive seen so many smurf accounts in silvers dominating the game while in a platinum elo game and the game ends before 15 minutes. Ive been unable to escape my 39% winrate from the severe amount of loss streaks I face. Being a 6 year support main and having gotten a diamond rank 3 times before, I've never struggled so hard before. Games literally unwinnable before the match has started. So many s6, s7 and s8 silver players that are now in platinum elo and its completely changed the landscape. I can't ever take ranked seriously again. And these are just my gripes with the competitive aspect. What has everyone elses experience been like?

Same Elo, same Problem, same Story.

Lower Plat is absolute garbage right now. Not just in NA but also in EU. Toxic, AFK nonsense every single game you don't stomp from minute 1. (Less isssues with smurfs, tho.)

I'm at a point where I consider anything but DuoQ pure Elo-Suicide. SImply because 1 premade equals 25% less risk of garbage....

How is this something that can be discussed in a constructive manner?

You can't blame Riot for something Platinum Patrick does.

Don't even play ranked anymore, it's not worth your sanity, time, it isn't really fun and when you do win a game, you don't even feel good. The way I see it, if a game is never fun while winning or losing, the game's purpose as a whole has failed.
