Something needs done about Pregame Toxicity.

So, maybe it's because it's summer and all the angsty teenagers are out of school, but toxicity seems to be at an all time high lately.

Nearly every game I've played recently, win or lose, has had someone from champ select proclaiming "gg we lose" because they didn't like a champion on our team or they felt the opposing team was too strong. This negative attitude turned into flaming almost immediately once in game.

I know Riot's working on the Honor systems which will reward players with good behavior, but I don't think it will mean anything for the people who are current toxic. If losing the game/lp/time isn't a big enough discouragement from verbally abusing others then are they really going to care about not getting honored?

I know we can report them after the game. I'm basically forced to play with them, or dodge and be penalized.

Add a vote in pregame allowing 4 members of a team to cancel the game if there's someone toxic. Add reporting to pregame, and maybe wipe out losses due to a toxic player and/or troll. Allow us to earn safe queue dodges for good behavior. Seriously, do anything at all.

This isn't Overwatch where I'm only going to be stuck with a teammate for 5 minutes, all said and done we get stuck with each other for at least 25 minutes. That's a fairly significant amount of time to be miserable.

Riot's report system takes into account pre-game and end-game chats.

You just don't see it when they present the evidence for your ban.

You know there is a mute button? like 95% of the player base mutes EVERYONE in the game once it starts right? The only time Mute isn't spammed is if you are in customs or with a premade. Then you can just play like you normally do and if they feed report and move on. You only have to spend maybe 3 minutes in champion select hell I don't even spend that much time in champ select I have a browser up and when I hear the ping for my champion I pick it and then wait for it to bring me into game.
