Shit community is a real issue but they're making some strides. Of course there's the reporting and tribunal system, where you can report people for verbal abuse or negative attitude and if it's legit, they can get suspended or banned (I think bans come if it keeps happening). I think that this helps filter out more assholes at higher levels since someone who talks shit a lot will finally get what's coming to them after several reports, i.e. it's more likely they'll get canned at level 30 than at level 5. A professional tournament player even got banned recently for talking shit all the time, which sets a good example.

There's also an option (on by default) to not show all-chat by the enemy team. Of course most of the trash talking in LoL comes from your own team, so this is not that useful.

They've also, a couple months ago, implemented an 'honor' system where you can upvote people you liked playing with (there are safeguards against just upvoting your friend all the time), so now there's additional incentive to be nice - once your honor reaches a certain point you get a little banner in champion select showing that you're a cool dude.
