Why do I always get these kinds of toxic people when I rank up?

While I can win vs plat players on my 3s and 5s teams, I have found that whenever I rank up in league, my team mates get more toxic. This is usually silver 4 to silver 3 btw. I almost always have one of these people on my team, even when we are winning. It almost makes me want to get demoted so I can have decent players on my team, even if they are unskilled. So here they are, in no particular order, the reasons why I am bald as Braum:

Number 1: The coward, this person is so worried about taking any damage whatsoever that they will only go in 3 vs 1 after you bring the opponent to nuking range, then they ks having contributed nothing but the last 500 damage or so and are usually utterly worthless, because really what enemy will fight 1 vs 2 anyway? If your feeding urgot out damaged you as jinx, you are probably a coward. They also typically run away as soon as any fighting starts. Its kind of funny when they play tank though...

Number 2: I main (insert new champion here). Ok I was a fairly good Kindred and a great Rengar on release, but this line of total bs fools nobody. Saying you main a champion usually means you are going to do bad, so don't.

Number 3: "I pinged MIA yer bad". If I am already being ganked by your lane, you failed to ping mia. Your flaming at me and projecting your hatred of your own failures only proves your inferiority complex.

Number 4: People with an inferiority complex. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP PLAYING LEAGUE! These people can be skilled. But go, 0/2/1 and no matter how well the rest of the team is doing will cost you the game. Any failure of any kind sends them into a spiral of suicidal depression and they wont be able to function.

Number 5: People with a superiority complex. Usually these people are cowards who through some act of god have managed to be vs someone who probably bought their account. Yes you have a good score. I would have one too if the urgot afked under my turret by accident as well.

Number 6: "I'm ADC I get the kills!". No, no you don't. The major advantage from killing an opponent is the exp lead from them not getting any. Seriously take the time to freely farm your lane and you get all that gold you "missed". Unless you would rather have them escape that is...I get letting the ADC get kills, its a good idea. But dead is dead and its usually not worth risking their escape.

Number 7: "I'm a smurf". Just because you dyed your skin blue does not mean you have skill.

Number 8: "I only x or feed". BS, unless x is "fill" you would be banned by now. Yer last pick have fun supporting.

Number 9: Early forfeit. Usually a guy with an inferiority complex who is losing. Sometime will continue to try to surrender even as you make a comeback. I once had a team legitimately quit (4 to 1 vote) because we were down 2 kills. Up a turret and we had 1 dragon to their 0. But naw, dem kills so impoohtunt brah!

Number 10: Blamer. If you cant win your lane. If the jungler ganks and you farm instead of fighting, then complain because the jungler died. If you push to their turret and complain their jungler has been there 3 times but yours hasn't, If you "seriously thought it was support zed" and cant support cuz you are on the wrong runes... Its YOUR fault, stop blaming people for your mistakes.

Number 11: Flamer. While flamers are effective at combating killer bees, weeds and panzers, they make particularly ineffective summoners. While you were busy flaming the enemy team ambushed your 4 team mates, who managed to kill 3, bring one to near death and their tank to half. Rather than realize that you should be fighting with the team, you rage at them for "feeding intentionally".

Number 12 "reported" and/or "plz report x". gone are the days of "report x unskilled plz". Did you never read the tool tip on it? Nevermind that, these people haven't gone anywhere. it doesn't matter what the rules are, you need to be banned because they lost their lane. "top didn't tp to help" You were stun locked and ganked by 5 people for sitting at their turret as an adc with a support who had to back.

Number 13: Lee sin. WHY ARE YOU SO BAD! WHY WAS THE ENEMY LEE LAST GAME SO GOOD? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME???

Number 14: You (and me). Id be a liar if I said I haven't been one or more of these people at some time or another. Its rather frustrating to rank up, hope to get better team mates and more challenging opponents, and get toxic people instead. But hey, that's low rank league for ya. The best chance to increase your rank is to stay positive and never give up.

As a side note, riot can I have my rank and mmr changed to somewhere mid bronze please? At least most mid bronzies know they are bad and dont get toxic about it.

Because when you rank up, you're put into queues with people closer to the bottom of the ranked list. And I don't see how you're having that many problems in silver. I have really only had 2 or 3 bad games.
