you get troll teams if ur in cancer elo. i usually get matched anywhere in between g3 and p4 opponents and I haven't had a troll or afk in ages.
low gold is actually cancerous in this regard
There are so many people I've had straight afk- 5 afk in the past five days. There was also, notably, a support that danced all lane while feeding the enemy sivir, and a yasuo that built 6 boots and auto fed from the first minute because "I'm tired of troll teams"
Getting past this bracket is straight up aids because of all the setbacks from games that were almost impossible to win from the beginning due to an afk or someone trolling.
