Toxicity in Tier V Anything

Kewlipo·Jun 17, 2016·4 votes·472 views

Just trying to gauge whether it's just me being unlucky or if there is a genuine problem.

It feels like every time I am at a Tier V rank (Gold V, Plat V, Diamond V) the toxicity skyrockets.

I've made my way from Gold to Diamond this season, and right now I am stuck in Diamond V. Here's how the games go: Either your team does not have a toxic player and you win, or you do have a toxic player and you lose.

I'm not talking about general toxicity, but toxicity in the terms of

leaving the game
intentional feeding
refusing to group
serious threats
child-like behavior, like I'm back at the preschool playground

It seems like around 50% of my games have a least one of the above, and I can't shake it.

Does anyone else have these problems, or do I just have to power through this unlucky streak?

Gold wasn't bad.

Plat 5 has been a nightmare. Though I got to 4 pretty easy. I've stopped rank for the most part because of roflMalzrework (Was at around 75% winrate entering Plat).

Elo decay warning popped, jumped into jg as Sej, won. My team was surprisingly not toxic for once.

I literally had to report 75% of my games in Plat.

Anyone have any reasons why it is like this? Perhaps people are sitting on 0 LP, and are stressed to win?

Yeah, those V divisions are the absolute worst. When I hit plat 5, I only lasted about 2 weeks before getting permabanned. It was an absolute fucking nightmare.
