Riots system makes the players toxic

If you have any ambition for the game, you simply can't just look the other way around when people who don't care at all for ranked queue up and just die for fun. Even in higher elo, I had two 2/3 promotions to master at soloq in the last 2 days, and both of them were lost rather tilting.

First one, I started with a win, then had a very close 50 minute game where my ADC randomly dc'd, died so they won. Next game we were ahead, got baron and went to push but lissandra forced a tf and got mad at the adc and legit started inting because "i want him to lose this". And so she did, after dying 3 or 4 times and just standing in base we lost that. Next game was pretty close but i won it. Leaving me to the last game where my midlaner wanted support so i filled mid for him. Classic my botlane got stomped, their bot moved top and took that turret too. My team gave up and here was I being 5/1/4 filling looking how my team refused to play and let them end with heral.

Next promo started really bad, first game my adc kept dying to enemy seju because he kept overextending, my jungler wanted to gank only his premade mid but ahri got to 2/7 or something, they ff'd at 20.Next, I was playing adc and my team wanted invade, well, it went wrong and draven got 2 kills.After 5 more minutes or so ryze,lee sin and braum just gave up and stayed in base, you can guess what happened next. After that, we got a pretty easy stomp since i won botlane with a draven and just snowballed from there, next one enemy team was a bit ahead but we won. And the last one, in min 3 my toplaner died, jungler tried to 1v3 and died, then the toplaner tp'd to try to chase them and ofc, died. Meanwhile on bot we were winning, but hard to do anything as an adc when you and bard have 4 kills, while the score on teams is 6/13 with a twitch that will eventually scale. My top and jungle legit just kept dying for no reason trying to go in 1v5.

Every single game, the inters were hard flaming, saying how they are happy that me and whoever was in promos lost it, and if i check the op gg every single one of them is playing, noone even got banned for hard flaming and inting at d1 elo. How many of you would still be calm after games like this, when you are trying everything to win, filling for everyone just to see a bunch of kids flaming eachother in chat and going in enemy turrets.I'm pretty sure most of league community would get tilted in this situation, leading to more toxic players.

Chat has become a competition to see who can get the other person to say enough trigger words to get them banned. It's a game of chicken and it's destroying the game. Talking shit is a part of competitive gaming and people have to become stronger and not demand that big brother protect them from mean words.

Riot doesn't show any intention to make ranked gamemode more serious in terms of behaviour. Just like you said, players don't care about winning in ranked, and they're just 'playing for fun'. The only way to not get tilted is to stop giving a single fuck about that. As sad as it sounds, if you're really competitive, you will get frustrated, toxic, and eventually banned, while those players who don't give a shit will continue to play.
