Blinds are toxic?
played around 5 games of blind in the past 24 hours cuaeI usually play draft and every single blind game is full of toxic players especially Yasuo and vaynes. should this gamemode just be removed for the good of the community?

I don't see too much difference in toxicity in game between the two modes.
Well i only play blinds so i believe i have a good pool of expieriences to draw upon. Generally blind are this: everyone says their role, there may be a fight between 2 teamates that think they were the first to say a role. That may end up in a dodge (you only have to wait 5 mins if its your first dodge). That happens about 90 % - 95 % of the time. However there is a 5% chace of general toxicity and trolling. Now if you are unlucky you will just encounter the toxic side of blinds. A way to avoid toxicity is to become good at sniping your position. If you are early (and spammy) enough nobody can do anything because its obvious that you were first.
Blinds do indeed suck, and as far as I can tell, they only really exist for new players or for people trying to play a highly-contested/banned champ.
My gripe is mostly with the selection process, though. Once you're in-game, I don't know about any difference in toxicity between blinds and draft.
I play a lot of blind games, 90% go quite smooth, and the ones you see at least 8/10 have lvl4+ honor on the loading screen are the smoothest.
Disclaimer: I like support, so that is a factor as well.
