Ranked Exemptions / Low ELO Crackdown

Ranked is a toxic wasteland and it sucks. Inting and verbal abuse reports are all over the place in my ranked games. I report the players who do it, but I can't help but feel like it's unfair that we not only rarely give actual game or IP bans to players who are consistently toxic all game long, but that the people on the team of the reported player still lose LP. That's like going to a basketball game but half your team spends the whole game cursing each other out. It's unfair and it's clear. It's what demotivates players from ever touching ranked. Increased toxicity AND you lose LP for trying your best kind of sucks, especially newcomers or players who just want to get better at the game. I think voiding ranked games with players who inted or were toxic overall is something riot should look into at least trying to implement. I stopped playing ranked because for every game I won, I got 2 more where my teammates spent all game either typing or inting. I also think it's worth cracking down on low ELO trolls. Low ELO is where the majority of the player base resides but Riot still insists on focusing bans on streamers, LCS players, and high ELO.
