Teamwork and Advancing in your League

Is it just me or is it practically impossible to rank up with any sort of consistency? I am currently 237 games into ranked and I just got up to bronze 2 all the way from bronze 5. I have played 2 games since getting into bronze 2 and have lost both games, horribly, due to poor sportmanship or people just saying F*** you I'm going here whether you like it or not. In the first game we had a guy refusing to communicate, coupled with the most toxic ADC it's ever been my misfortune to play with. In the second we had a guy who decided a solo top vayne was a better Idea than playing an actual top champ, and when we begged him to go bot he refused.

So now I'm 2 losses in bronze 2 and am terrified of losing again and getting sent back to 3 all because the community of bronze is full of toxic, hateful, unsportsmanlike players. Can anyone come up with some sort of solution for this? Because frankly it's just plain unfair to those of us who are decent helpful players just trying to rank up and have fun. Honestly it made me stop playing league for a while when I got sent down to bronze 5 because of leavers and AFK's.

So my challenge to the developers and even more so the community, is to find a solution to the toxic players pulling the helpful players down into the depths of bronze 5 with them.

Maybe instead of immediately determining the Lp at the score screen, it could wait until you close out, so you can report/honor the appropriate people. Then make the LP take those into consideration, so if you get reported you lose more LP, and if honored you lose less. Or if the whole team reports one player then it would "shield" them from dropping into lower ranks just because one person was being a jerk.

Its strange though. The more I rage, the more games I win. I feel like if one person is raging on your team, you are more likely to do better so you can win the game and not put up with his/her shit :)

I am sorry to rant and rave however this is really bugging me especially after the last game i played. i played a top toon and the rest of my team was normal. however when their top received help from their jungle not once but 3 times and my jungle didn't do a thing about it and proceeded to blame me for my own deaths (which the adc teemed up against me for) why is it that i am automatically at fault. . . i have considered quitting league over this and joining another arena game however i have been with league so long i just don't want to. this irritates the hell out of me especially since it is going on in ranked and not just normal play. this is only one example of what i have come across as well. and in this example the enemy team agreed that it was my jungle's fault and not mine. they ranted about it as well.
