Why are so many players passive aggressive, especially in more casual modes like aram and urf?

I've been taking a bit of a break from league lately since it's preseason, but almost all of my games have had players who are passive aggressive or just plain assholes in it. I'm not even talking about ranked either, i'm talking about normal games and ARAM games.

"GG this bot", "JG diff", "my carries don't do any damage", pinging a summoner spell cd/ult cd then typing "?" , "trash x", "hit a x", etc. And it's not like the people who are on the receiving end of this are doing extremely poorly, normally they just made one minor mistake and get blasted for it for the rest of the game. It makes the game not very enjoyable- I queue up for normal and aram games to have a good time with 9 other people, but people like this just make the game less enjoyable.

The game is now to tilt them and get them auto-banned by chat filter, not to play the actual game, and people who care about the actual game are the target

Ded game

This all stems from Riot's failure to accurately measure individual skill in games (even non competitive ones). This leads to bad players and good players getting stuck on the same team and that isn't fun for anyone.

Even ARAM isn't fun if you can't win just because one person has no idea what they are doing.

When the teams are even, and you can respect your teammates, that is when League is fun.
