This is the first time I have ever felt like quitting not JUST because of the community

Ever since season 3 I have quit partial way through after placements because the community is so toxic, and players refuse to accept their own mistakes and continue to blame others. Ever since season 3 I was hardstuck gold 5 because people refused to accept this. This season was the first time this game actually let me climb by consistently giving me teammates (every now and then) that would allow me to win the game.

Though, this is clearly happening again this season as I am now hardstuck D5, stuck with trolls and players that still don't understand their own mistakes, and would rather fall into hypocrisy and blame other people then trash talk someone for blaming others. It's like everyone refuses to win and wants to see who has the biggest balls in the room they enter. My last team was plagued with 3 players on my side trash talking not just the enemy team, but their fellow laner's and teammates as well. On top of this, the second I said something after I had died, I was met with a similar dialogue from the other team, getting trash talked and being called a "kid." This season has by far had the worst effect on the community then any other season I have played in.

What is different though, is that this is the earliest time in the games season I have ever felt like quitting, and not just because of the community, but because of the game itself falling apart.

Balancing issues are massive, to the point where there are champions I note on teams such as or where if they get 1 kill I know they will snowball and cause me to lose.

Items are becoming absurd, and whole classes of champions are becoming obsolete. There are too many forms of damage in the game (true damage) that create an unhealthy game.

There are ways to fix this issue, but none seem to be being taken. In my opinion, removing Damage and Ability Power from ALL defensive items would fix this issue. Building defense used to be a risk you had to take in exchange for losing damage, I believe it should not have ever digressed from that path, and that items like and others should have all damage stats removed.

This is a jumbled rant, because I just don't really care anymore, I'm just trying to win a game in this hardstuck elo full of trolls so that I'm off of 0 LP and don't get demoted to plat 1.

(In all honesty, I like plat 1 way more than D5, everytime I have been demoted from D5 to P1 I immediately win all of my games and get pushed back into D5, forcing me back into hell, and it pisses me off).
