bot lane toxicity on the rise for solo players?

does anyone else feel like they have to deal with a lot more toxicity than they used to when they are playing solo as adc or sup?

it seems as if it's players who are used to playing duo, especially lately. they're diving the enemy at bad times without any pings, even after being passive for several minutes so I don't expect them to suddenly go aggressive. like, it's not just engaging and then I drop the ball, no. I know the games that happen and I am effectively over time reducing that from happening. it's them engaging, while I'm trying my best to walk into attack range at all as the enemy kites them all the way to the enemy turret without me even close enough to do more than cast Ashe W. and then when the sup dies, or worse, we both die... they immediately flame me for being "bad" and then when we get back to lane, it's obvious by watching their movement they're already severely tilted.

literally, before dynamic queue and for about a month and a half after, I was dominating lane regularly. getting two or more kills for only two or less deaths. then it just has been a struggle for the past several months, where it seems like every support is way too ham and then flames me for being "shite". It's getting tiresome and unfun.

Not that I am saying it's okay. But it's likely because Bot lane is the one that tends to feed, ruining the game. Because that means at least two enemies are fed(the enemy ADC no less) and possibly even their jungler and mid depending on how things go. Then Bot has no sightstone, no wards, and still overextends, then feeds more. And claim there is nothing they could have done about it.

Just saying, since S2 I have seen more bot lanes feed harder than any other. But with more roaming, more burst, more mobility spells, more easy gank junglers like Zac, more keystone masteries and all the power armor pen gives ADCs this season. It is more common than ever for your entire team to be 1v5 by the Vayne your bot lane fed.

In the case of your Ashe issue, they also nerfed the crap out of her base movement speed instead of just fixing her toxic new Q design that gives the utility ADC too much damage.

The Dynamic Q stuff is what causes it. It makes it harder for solo players and losses = flaming.
