Toxicity in Competitive

How can I improve in competitive play when this is so common.

For Season 12 I decided to finally try to play competitive besides placing every season to build up credits. I’ve never been the best player, always placing in low gold. I placed 2087 this season and I’m ok with that. I won a few games after but I lost all the hard work I put into the previous games because I got teamed with the same thrower twice in a row. I just want to raise my SR and play competitive but I’m losing all of my motivation because it just seems that I’ll never escape this never ending cycle of getting a new season high and then losing it to something stupid like this. I want to enjoy competitive, I really do, but it just seems so hard to.

See Bronze - Sliver - Gold ranking guide, especially the section on psychology.

Also, LFG has few throwers and less leavers. But even if you solo queue you can use avoid as teammate to not get matched with the same troublemaker two games in a row.
