While in your promos you are put with the worst players of the next rank, naturally these are going to be the most toxic players.

Can you please switch it to pull from the middle of the next rank so I don't have to lose promos because of an 0/9/1 jinx that isn't paying attention to the game because I quote "talking to my gf on discord"

You lost your promo games because you died a lot. You can't really pass the blame onto anyone else if you're not a positive influence on these games yourself

Confirmation bias.

Which, barring ego, should be less toxic than the people of your rank? Common sense dictates that the worst of the tier above you is better than the best of the tier you're in.

It is the worst players of the next rank because you're still getting matched with players around your MMR which will be the lowest MMR players in the next rank (seems fitting because you're the highest in your rank so the next step up is the lowest of the next rank)
...and how does a player become 'worst in their rank'? Well at least 50% of the time it's from being toxic, because even the smallest amount of toxicity will make your team perform worse compared to a team that is less toxic.
