This game is going downhill

Riot needs to fix their matchmaking and punish the players that go AFK constantly. it is beyond difficult for players to enjoy the game and even progress if all they do is lose because of consistent feeders and afkers. im not blaming anyone however it is discouraging when you play to the best of your ability every game and you constantly lose because of other players. there is no merit to actually playing well. there is only merit for those who are boosted, get carried or are extremely lucky. not only that but the level of toxicity amomgst the players has become so intense that the game is just plain hostile anymore. good luck to all of the players still attempting to climb, but i strong suggest finding a new game for your mental health and you well being.
