Here is a quick suggestion to:

make your game better
lower toxicity in your games
MAKE YOUR PLAYERS HAPPIER!

Suggestion: Allow players to NOT GET DEMOTED or LOSE LP, if they recieve s rank during their match!

The problem: Some players in certain elo (mainly bronze of course) dont care about losing matches, it is more fun to troll other players (especially if they are sitting on 0 lp already). So stop dragging players down and demoting them to bronze 5 when they perform excellent in their matches! making good players rage/hate your game or ranking system/ and overall have worse attitudes.

Im not asking for you to promote them if their team loses but at least they will be able to climb out of hell by not losing lp when they have perfect games. I feel this is a great solution and is NOT ASKING TOO MUCH.

Here's the problem for not letting people that get S lose LP. You can get an S by simply farming allllllll day long, killing an opponent or so but having AMAZING farm. But not once did you group or help your team so your team 4v5 and lost because of you

The problem I see with this is allowing players to remain at their rank for a loss will promote more of an "Every Man For Himself" atmosphere. This is a team game, and it takes a team effort to win (most of the time). You will have someone that predicts a loss around 20 minutes, they'll just avoid fighting entirely and focus on improving their score so they don't get demoted. This will pretty much guarantee a loss at the expense of the other players who are actually trying to win and dying for it.

Also, you cannot expect Riot to lower player toxicity.. that is the responsibility of the players... I don't even know how they could do more than they're doing already to try to stop people from being toxic to each other.

Because mathematically the odds of having a troll are higher for the other team. This would address a lot of short term frustration but i dont see it as being healthy for ladder long run. Also some folks would eventually attempt to abuse this by playing less for a win in a hard/close game and more to keep stats for good Rating. Great idea for reducing the frustration of losing because of a troll or other BS, but ya got to account for law of large numbers.

Your score isn't the only factor if you win or lose. If you're toxic with a good score, you don't deserve better treatment. Toxic people lose games because they make their team not want to try as hard, even if they're playing alright themselves.

Step 1 and 3 is too vague, as it can be meant in many ways and is subject to personal opinion of what makes it good or bad. Step 2 is realistically out of the control for Riot, since they can't control people to not be toxic.

People in Bronze are mainly consisting of new players and smurfs, so it's obviously going to be hard to climb out of Bronze when majority of players fit these 2 descriptions.

League is a team game, so just because you did outstandingly well in that game, you and you're team must do well as a whole.
