From past experience with updates, I'd say that after a balance patch, everybody is wanting to try out their builds. So there is typically a lot more rushing going on, and that tends to upset players.
In other words, I think it's not that the community is getting more toxic, but rather that the community is in a situation where the toxicity is being brought out a little more. At least that's been my observation.
My advice? Just sit back and chill. If you get teamed, called names, rushed, etc., and don't appreciate it, just leave the game. Don't let other's foolishness affect you. Words only damage if you let them. Be the good sport that you want to see from others.
