Reforming is real hard when there are players who ruin it

I am Plat 5 player who's now reformed and stop saying KYS and ZT words. I even stopped trolling and inting.

However as I played my placement games, I got 3 AFK who left in the ragequit(perfectly winnable) and 2 troll game who took games as hostages. I do admit I misplayed 2 other games as Jungle, but losing 8 games and dropping to silver is just too much.

And Rito's answer? "Sorry, we can't help."

I won't be toxic but I don't understand what Riot is expecting me to do when they just toss this kind of stuff in the air? Recipe for toxicity is something that can't be solved with "take a break."

Reform is when you develop control. If you can't control yourself in dire situations, you haven't reformed enough.

It isnt fair to you, also good job reforming by the way, in a dream world, Afks wouldn’t happen but sadly this is the real world, just think of it as karma for when you were toxic.

If your sole purpose is to make players salty and upsetting them for your own benefits, of course, you're not going to reform and no one is going to honor you for it. Riot cares only about the positive part of the community. The toxic community is put on thin ice till they either reform or they're removed from the game. They want no business of toxic players, they don't want their presence.

If you're looking to reform, do it in a manner that players can appreciate, not enjoy and be entertained at their expense. It's not a matter of choosing when not to be toxic and not to be toxic, it's only a matter of never being toxic. Flags will build up till you get a penalty.
