Players inting and d/cing at a higher rate than before

So I came back to league after taking a break, and I left League at plat 1. I got demoted down to plat IV, in part because of some mistakes but mostly because it seems now that there's people disconnecting, afk at fountain, and straight up running down mid at a higher rate than before. This morning I played 10 straight games, and i only won like 4. I noticed in a couple of games people were afk in fountain, there were others were they would run down mid. Other people in my team were accusing these people of win trading. Climbing seems a lot harder now, because you run into these people at a higher rate than before. Has anyone experienced this in low to high plat? Upon inspections of these accounts that would hard int, its not obvious that they are doing it, because on their op.gg they show normal win/lose rate. Has riot looked into this?

Win trading is just a teenage fad insult everyone says now to make an excuse for someone having a bad game. People who play league make up all sorts of random silly insults, like spamming the word INT when someone gets 1 shotted or instagibbed or chain cc'd.

Back in MY day, "INT" was meant INTEGER in Microsoft and CBM Basic, and onward to Pascal (no one on these forums is even old enough to know what CBM even means). That should tell you something about league players.

Yeah it is because riot only cares about toxic/negative players that people reports because they cant handle the truth and gets offended like a PC bro and put on their big boy pants just to report the players. So the actually smarter way is go write the players name down and if you run into that same person again u will lose the game on purpose because the player that reported u for toxic is a little bitch in fact that players can walk around the situation by not being a flame and riot only focus on chats but remember u gotta look like ur trying really really hard. Also if its impossible to be still garbage in upper ranks. Theres a system called booster packs and buying accounts.

I think it might be because end of season is coming soon. Some people are so desperate of winning that any bad situation make them tilted and they leave/int/try to force something crazy, but lose. Some people don't care about their rank any longer. E.g if somebody was boosted to Plat 5 70 lp, he can lose few games, cuz he is getting this Plat frame anyway. So yeah, think about this.

maybe because theres no counter play, and this game seems to get worse with every patch as it becomes more clear that the balance team doesnt know wtf theyre doing

End of season so alot of players just stopped caring is my top guess.
