@Riot Why did you have to make Draft Pick a Rager island?
cant even play a single match without some one afking or verbaly abusing some one at first blood

well if that many of the ranked ragers are really getting dumped into draft pick, you could always just play ranked and ignore the actual ranking/pretend it's draft normals.
at least until riot realises this is a terrible idea and either just bans them, or makes an actual prisoners island instead of making draft normal players deal with it.
i don't play ranked to much pressure to win i just prefer to play
then play blind pick or ARAM, that's why those modes exist
blind pick has instaloks and aram isn't all that fun
well, that's what happens when it's not serious. draft pick is only there to train for ranked, blind pick is for fun.

No, draft pick is there for playing draft pick, blind pick is there for playing blind pick, you making up any other reasons to play the modes is ridiculous. Just because you think blind pick is "fun" doesn't mean others do, and clearly just because you think draft pick is there as training wheels and not for fun doesn't mean other people share your mentality whatsoever.
I personally find blind pick completely retarded. Simple as that, I don't think it should even exist as a mode, because it encourages instalocking nonsense, pointless mirror matches, and an overall lack of teamwork in terms of establishing synergy between picks, given you have like 60 seconds to not only figure out what lane you can go to, but lock in your champ and sort your runes/masteries as well. Blind pick is absolutely not fun, at all, but hey, that's why it's an opinion and not a fact, see how that works?
Draft is actually fun because it enables me to play league without the flaws of blind, and without the stress of ranked. If you ask me, that's the mode that is most enjoyable, and that's why it's the mode I've played almost exclusively. I could care less about "training" for ranked, I just want to play draft in a stress free environment for the fun of the game...
The dumping of all the unpleasant players into this mode is 100% an awful, poorly thought out idea that punishes players like me. Frankly if the games turn out to be less and less enjoyable as a result, I'm just gonna wash my hands of league all together, as simple as that...

Actually, this is the mentality shared by Riot. When you get a ranked restriction, they make you win 10 normal draft games, not 10 of any summoner's rift mode. Normal draft is there for you to practice and improve for your ranked play, the mode that actually matters to Riot.
Whether or not you find blind pick fun is really irrelevant. Riot put it there to be the stress free, do anything mode. If you don't want to win, then go play blind or another mode. That's all there is to say.

The restricted players being sent to normal draft is a stupid course of action to begin with, and you assuming what Riot consider normal draft is also stupid.
They don't consider it anything but a game mode that their player base has access to, I don't know wtf you're smoking. They know damn well there are countless players out there that play nothing but normal draft that don't care about ranked period, and they know damn well there are countless players out there that can't stand blind picks for the massively flawed aspects of it.
News flash, every game mode is to have fun. It's a video game that the players only play for that specific purpose. You fantasizing that ranked even requires a "practice que" is just so dumb. You can que into ranked the moment you're 30, theres no practice necessary, if you fall flat on your face and place bronze, then you practice in bronze and slowly move up. Normals arent to practice for ranked, normals are to avoid ranked. If you think that ranked is the only mode that matters, and other modes are just there to prep you for it, you're delusional, and Riot knows damn well that fact as well.
I play primarily draft normals, and it is truly horrible lately... can you show me where Riot said they were officially making Draft Normal toxic player island? I must have missed that, but I feel like it must be true lately, I really wanna see the original post...
never act said it but people who are banned from ranked must win a certain amount of draft pick matches before they can play ranked which means all the toxic banned players are playing draft
