Platinum Is the Most Toxic Elo

I've never witnessed this extreme amount of toxicity in any elo ever. I've been in every division from Bronze 5 to Gold 1 and it wasn't until I reached Gold 1 with a high MMR facing plats every game that I experienced this much toxicity. In Bronze, you get bad teams. However, they're able to be carried. You occasionally get a toxic teammate or a troll teammate, but it's not that bad considering it's not often that they do something that causes the game to be uncarriable. In Silver, you start seeing cases of actual toxicity in a few games, but more often than not you're being faced with players that aren't toxic. In Gold, you get toxicity sometimes, but in this elo people are starting to focus more often on themselves than they are on other players.

Of course, in every elo you're going to find toxicity on occasion, but oh lord Platinum...

Warning: This is not an overexaggeration Literally every game ever since I started playing with Plats I have witnessed toxicity starting in champion select. From people banning out their own team's champions to complaining about a champion someone picks, and occasionally calling "gg" in champion select after seeing what the enemy picked compared to your team. In-game, they pick out every mistake you make and complain about it in the most vulgar ways I've ever seen in any elo. In Bronze and Silver, you see toxicity that isn't relevant to the game, but that's easy to get over since these are just some random people that don't actually know you or your life. You can talk about my mother all you want but none of it is true. However, Platinums attack your gameplay, which is a complete fast and easy tilt.

The worst part is, they're not wrong. The game knowledge a Platinum possesses is so high that they know who's fault each error is and can pinpoint every mistake any player makes. Then, when they see that mistake, they attack you, even if you're winning. Going through the elo ladder is supposed to be a steady climb where you take everything you've learned from the previous elos and put them all together, but it's as if after they finished climbing out of Gold they reverted to their Silver elo mentality where everything is the team's fault. Again, the worst part is you can't argue that it isn't whatever player they're attacking's fault. Nonetheless, if a Plat player climbed through Gold with a mentality of "Focus on my gameplay and not my team's," where between Gold and Plat did they revert back to their Silver elo "blame the team" mentality?

Honestly, I'm sickened by this. I knew that toxicity would exist in every elo, but I thought the higher in the ladder I climbed the less often toxic players would be found. It was rare that I came across a toxic player in Silver or Gold, maybe once in every five games if not less often, but aforementioned I'm coming across toxic players every game, whether they're on the enemy team or my team, and previously stated the toxicity starts in champion select.

My only concern is, if this is simply the result of a higher game knowledge, is the toxicity going to be worse and more frequent in Diamond?
