Being matched with Toxic players in Ranked.(When you aren't Toxic)

Hello! The reason I am typing this is because of players being Toxic and very negative in ranked. I wanted to talk about this because I hate that when you get Toxic players they tend to bring the team down and stop trying when they only complain instead of playing. I** wish Riot would be more strict on Toxic players and have them be matched up like in Dota where it's kinda low priority game and Toxic Vs Toxic.** I just wish the players that talk/play with other players would be matched up so you don't have to lose a game because you have a man that feeds/complain/etc because it's not needed at all for players that want to work together and are nice. I know people will say, "Just mute them" but that doesn't help all the time because that person may still act in a bad way and continue to feed, complain, and be toxic for the whole game! I just think that shouldn't be a problem when playing games in general because it is such a distraction when a team member just complains and won't shut up and will play bad/ blame other team members. Riot please do something like this, Dota does something like this why can't you.** I also know people may think that the person on your team is just having a rough day or is upset that their team isn't listening at all, I can see that being a thing but I don't think that comes up as often as regular Toxic players are.** Please leave a comment on an suggestion or idea that you think could make this better. Bye! (up vote to have Riot notice if thats how it works.)

An idea just like this...

How about a team vote to ban someone from the chat in real time (similar mechanic as the surrender vote). Riot is talking a lot about how fast feedback on negative behavior can help toxic players improve the said behavior. There is no quicker feedback than receiving a notice saying "you have been banned from this chat because your teammates agreed that your behavior was unacceptable" in the very game where you are spamming the blame/flame/insults.

I know I only solves the team moral issue, not the feeder/afker issue, but it would be a start no?

I see a lot of toxicity in normals way more, which is weird bc normals have very little affect on anything. it's for practice. i actually made a thread about this lol.

if your team is toxic, you need to be toxic with them but in a way to where you fuel your rage against the enemy team, IE: im pissed that nid is feeding jayce top so i say "JAYCE GET THE FUCK OFF MY NID WHO IS TERRIBAD " in all chat and then say "yo bitch do better kthnx, but yeah lets fuck em up nid!WOOOOOOOOOOOOO in team chat

Low priority queue already exists, it's called Normal Draft.

I mute everyone before the game starts. There are at least two horribly toxic players in every game that want to argue or just simply be mad at everyone. There is no way around it. I can't handle it so I mute them. If someone starts something with me or someone else for no reason, my body just goes into fight mode. If that happens and I have nothing to fight, my adrenaline does some pretty radical things to my body if I don't do something like spar or go on a run to exhaust all of that built up energy.

Don't put up with it and just mute the offenders. There will never ever be a system accurate enough to transform games into peaceful paradises. There will always be the lingering question of, "Where do you draw the line between what is toxic and not toxic?". Everyone will have a different definition.
