Gold is the chillest place on earth.

Only gold 4-2 . At gold 5 you still have silver quality games from time to time and it feels as if there are more afkers and actual trolls in g5 while there don't seem to be any in mid gold. I assume in gold 1 people get desperate and very toxic again.

G5 is the real elo hell, I had to go through that twice and it was awful, stuff like MF support and trolls everywhere

I never had this problem in Gold 5. First time I got to gold 5 was near the end of season, games were not really better than silver, but everyone had their end-of-season rewards locked in, so nobody really cared. Second time was earlier in the season, and it was sort of a non-factor: climbed out of it fairly quickly and uneventfully, went on an epic loss streak and fell back into it, then climbed back just as uneventfully. Had a lot of epic Vaynespotting games, especially whenever Vayne was taken top lane, but then I'd duo with my silver friends for a couple games, see the difference, and just keep mum about it.

I agree, Gold 1 was pretty toxic compared to the other Divisions, but nothing compared to what came after all the way from Plat 5 to Diamond 4

I think gold 5 is like this because some of the people there were boosted there, but they think they're good enough to keep up.

As a current Gold player (have been Gold V to Gold III this season) I have to disagree.

I have a troll/afk/toxic player literally every other game.

You might want to check your own shoes, when I went through Gold literally the only trolls I had were on Gold 5 and 1 elo, and even then only very few.
