Super tired of getting matched with groups of bullying players as support

Basically that. It's no fun getting stuck playing with jerks when you're support. I could pick fill or top and get jerks a lot less. But I shouldn't have to. We just need an option to tick that opts us out of playing with groups of 2-4 while we're playing normal draft. Otherwise, what's the point? I just expose myself to toxicity every single game. Might as well first time Kai'sa in ranked while I'm at it and just never look back. Ranked every single game because that's the only game mode that's even a little bit fair nowadays with how toxic Riot has let Normal Draft become. Don't even try to tell me to play Blind Pick, that's like a whole other level of madness. But I guess I could take a chill pill and play some ARAM.

It just feels like every time there's a new patch out, all the toxic players rush to try the game again or something or people just become toxic again or whatever. I don't know what's going on, but if it can't be stopped, at least let people that play support opt out of playing with groups of players so they don't get bullied.

I played 6 games today with the new patch, and every single game my lane partner has been very incompetent and starts backing off for no reason to give me some horrible 10 WPM message and only the first game did I manage to win with them because they actually seemed to be trying and I was able to give them advice that helped them to be kind of, sort of useful to the team. But every other game either they just refused to make any attempt at playing the game normally or someone else on the team decided we should lose and started messing around not trying to win and/or flaming me. And some of them had same club tags so even without my claim they are groups, the groups are self-identified as groups.

Maybe if Riot would add group acknowledgement in the client, then players would be more aware of how often they are in our games and the groups wouldn't be able to hide their existence from us and players might actually have more input to give on topics like this. But as long as they don't add that feature, threads like this will continue to get down-voted and/or ignored.

I really don't know how people claim they are getting consistant toxic team mates. I play all game modes and I rarely get toxicity.

I main support, but just got done with a 14 day ban lol. Like above, there are other games out there like Dota ectr so forth. Only solution is to just use your mute button and explain to the team at the get go you are chat restricted. No one will bother you.

Ironic. As a top main its most often supports that have something negative to say about me. The toxic players do not "come crawling out of the woodwork" when a new patch comes out - people are usually toxic, which is amplified by changes made by a patch - people that cant adapt to change will tilt because the game isnt working the way they expected it to. I suggest you use /mute all.
