How am I supposed to enjoy playing this game if it is overrun by toxicity?

The freshest example is on the screenshot provided.
In a Ranked ! game I get dude who firsttime champion and then holds us hostage by threatening to int. On the top of that there is clueless adc ezreal who has 0 kills whole game and ryze running down mid. And you know what? Riot seems to be totally blind to existence of these players, because it happens in 90% of my games. I can withstand erratic patches breaking game twice a month, but combined with that poisoncloud of players, makes the game unplayable this season and I find it harder and harder to come back to it.
What pisses me the most is that Riot seems to be doing zilch about it, since the end of season 7 i got zero feedback on my reports, like you know that little window would pop up in client to inform me that my report was acted upon. All the while trolls keep ruining games for me and I keep on losing LP! How about you make a system that looks at individual games and determines if I should lose LP or not, take second screenshot as an example! How could've I influenced these players to win the game? With kind words and communication skills? I can't also carry this game solo, while enemies are giga fed by inters. So make a algorithm that takes into account that I had human duds instead of a team and my LP stays the same? How about that?

EA is penny pinching. They don't want to hire someone to work on the issue

first timing in rank should be reportable.......

More importantly. STATING THAT YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. Should be reportable. This would help toxic smurfs as well.

That Janna is toxic. Jax told you to leave him alone, if his words hurt you then just mute him.

This is one of the reasons I avoid Ranked like the plague. It's a magnet for the sort of asshole that enjoys making people angry.

I just wanted to say that muting is somewhat unhelpful. It's a team-based game where you need to communicate, yes you can communicate with pings but sometimes its just not enough. Also sadly there's nothing we can do (or Riot) about the toxic community as its created by its self and goes around in an unbreakable circle. Well, at least it feels that way.

focus on improving yourself. youll feel alot better being once youre in gold and that player is still in bronze. given that will be alot of work and sometimes work isnt fun.

Eh, I just had a game where my team refused to leash for me because I went twitch jg, and apparently that offended them. And twitch jg has a very rough early game especially now if he doesnt get a leash, so it didnt go that hot, and then the whole teams flaming me like its my fault I had a weak early game and they fed the jg taliyah and I couldnt keep up with pressure from behind XD. League is fk'd by its players tbh.

These were all gold players who were apparently to good for my twitch jg on the account that I got to P1 playing only twitch jg last season.

Most reports don't give feedback anymore unfortunately - just because you didn't get one doesn't mean they weren't reported.

Look at all riot white knights saying to /mute all to prevent a troll from inting. REEEEEEEEEEE
