DiamondV is so toxic that I no longer even want to play, after 8 years. Riot, get your shit together

I climbed back to Diamond at the beginning of this season, and then completely quit the game for 3 months because every single game was a toxic cesspool. Even my wins had players on my team raging, or the enemy team intentionally feeding.

After a 3 month break, I decided to try ranked again. After 14 games, I have 9 losses and 5 wins. Of those 9 losses, 7 of them had one player on my team griefing (soft intentional feeding). Of those 5 wins, 3 of them had one player on the enemy team griefing (again, soft intentional feeding). That's 10/14 games where one player completely gave up and started running it down mid/going AFK to expedite the game ending.

If you're unsure of what I mean by 'soft intentional feeding,' I mean they play normally until a point where they give up and try to surrender. The surrender vote fails because the game is very much winnable, but they've given up, so they start a combination of intentional feeding and going AFK to force the rest of us to surrender or lose faster. Automated systems obviously don't catch this, because their stats look normal.

This is ridiculous. If anything, the state of the game has gotten significantly worse, not better. It seems like there is absolutely no punishment handed out for these players.

It's really sad that this has become standard behavior. I've been playing at high MMR since before season 1 started, and I have never experienced this level of consistent toxicity. I don't even want to play anymore, because of how prominent this behavior is, and seemingly unpunished.

There needs to be much harsher penalties for this behavior, and there needs to be more resources allocated to finding and punishing these players manually.
