Why is the community so toxic?

Okay, I am a platinum 3 in 2v2, and I have been playing consistently since season 17, but been playing barely off and on since about 2021. From what I've noticed, the community has been insanely toxic. When I was still a casual player who'd play maybe 1 or 2 games a season, I saw like no toxicity (that doesn't say much) but today, I missed a pass because I had no boost, and I was also apparently "ball chasing" while being at 80 boost after picking up small pads and trying to score the net, even though my teammate is behind on 40 boost and bumps me away. This was after a 2 game loss streak because my teammates are not the greatest of players btw. Then this kid sits in net all game, spinning and doing nothing. This has been a reoccurring issue for me because, 1 this has been happening a lot both this season and last season, and 2 I rely on being happy and having fun to actually play good. If I'm just annoyed the entire game because my teammate is a sitting duck, I'm going to tilt and lose multiple games back to back, and my rank is going to go down, causing me to have less fun. I have about 370 games this season, so I've seen a lot of toxicity. Am I the only one, especially in lower ranks, who deal with toxicity almost daily?
