Does Riot ever try to fix trolls and int issues?

After 8 years of League, I feel like I'm in the WORST matchmaking system right now. I started with 60% win rate, dropped all the way to 45% win rate with in 3 days. I Agree I did have some bad games too, but what is the idea of having terrible teammate in my games all the time? I'm starting to feel like quitting, I know riot doesn't care about one player quitting the game. But as a 8 year player myself, truly losing faith in League of Legends already. They did not try to fix trolls, matchmaking issue, or even come up with better reporting system. All Riot is doing is trying to make money with skins and events. Just like their boss Tencent.

They did not try to fix trolls

There is no ultimate solution for this. You cannot weed them out completely. Best you can hope for is being able to keep them under control (to a certain extent). Battling gameplay related offences is an intricate and toilsome process, simply because of their nature and how they work. Manual reviews are borderline impossible, whereas creating a perfect automated system that has the power to differentiate trolling from having a bad game (~~with high accuracy~~) isn't an easily surmountable task.

or even come up with better reporting system

The current systems in place could use improvements, yes, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily bad. I'll take the Instant Feedback system as an example. Its purpose is to battle toxicity and negative behaviour, and so far it's been doing a fantastic job of accurately and quickly dealing with such cases. On top of that, it boasts high reform rates, which is an amazing thing.

Well, you can't preemptively ban people until after they actually do something wrong. Then you have people who want to cry "troll!" And "inter!" just because someone is having a bad game.

But hey, if you have a way to detect trolls/inters with 99% accuracy; there are probably companies that will pay good money.

You're complaining that your teammates are playing bad while admitting that you had bad games yourself? Take the number of bad games you had and multiply it by 4 (the number of teammates you have) and that is probably the number of games you had a bad teammate. You can't expect 4 people to have less bad games combined than you do.
