Has anyone else noticed an increased number of rage quitters lately?

It feels like every game for the past week or so has had at least one person starts saying GG 5 minutes into the game, and in about half the games someone goes afk in a fit of rage. I have talked to some friends, and they too have noticed that the number of people quitting and raging has been particularly high lately. I want to know if others in the community are experiencing this change, or if it is just that I my MMR has been in flux lately (I rose from low Bronze to high silver quickly, and then lost a bunch of games in a row) and I am playing with different people.

I haven't seen any rage quitters, I have seen a lot of players who give up after about 10 minutes. I think this has to do more with the snowball effect of League in this current season.

I was going to upvote because it's Laughing Fish, but then I was going to downvote because no gif. I'm at an impasse.

i can only assume that this is to the laughable punishements you get by the leavebuster. 20min for 5 games is the hardest you can get? LOL dude i watch a livestream/lets play while that is running in the background. seriously couldnt even care less about 20min.

and i never had a leavebuster warning just saying

Beginning of the season is over. With it, a lot of peoples dreams of climbing the ladder has been smashed. People are where they are going to be pretty much and they just don't care anymore. Happens every season around this time.

More features that tend to frustrate ppl this reason. When they're frustrated they're more likely to act negatively. Eventually their mood drops to the point where they either give up an unpleasant game or make others suffer in order to make themselves feel better in the process. Things may improve when weekly featured game modes come out, where ppl tend to relax, yolo, and care less about sufferings but not for now.
