Trolling in flex is becoming a massive problem

It's been a trend throughout the year but especially coming to the end of this season. The duos and trios who queue up for flex just to first-time people, int, troll, and flame. I've had it in the past several flex games I've played - where I'm genuinely trying to climb rank.

The common response is "idc, its flex" or "bro its just flex relax xd" And most of the time everyone's just encouraging them.

Flex is ranked. You are given equal rewards whether you get a high rank in flex or in solo/duo. It's not some lesser gamemode designated for trolling and flaming. I'm frankly quite tired of 2-9 Kayn's that've been calling me trash all game being encouraged by the enemy, and my own, team.

Is riot aware of this problem? Is there anything in the works (or is it even possible) to fix it?

Yes it is a ranked queue, however it has highly been regarded as a joke since it's release. Mostly because it's easy af to climb in it if you trio and most people don't regard it as your actual rank. REGARDLESS, they shouldn't be doing shit like that. I would just report and try to keep positive. I've always finished/gotten to the rank I wanted in at least September because I know season end is fucking atrocious.

Well, all these ranked players didnt care when the trolls were going "Its only normal", so why should I care now when you get the same trolls in ranked?
