Your team are more mean to you then your opponents

So far, as a fairly new League player, that title fits the reason why I haven't played alot of normal matches. I'm one of those nice people who tries to be that one guy who doesn't blame the jungler or the adc for my own faults. But I sure as hell know that those players who complain over everything is the majority (in-game). And I'm not one of those players who say that I only lose because of a garbage team. Most of the time, it's the opposite. Most of the time I feel like I'm a burden. If we win, it feels like I was just bunched with better players and that I didn't make a impact, just made things harder. If we lose, I feel like I'm one of the main reasons, even when that isn't the case. So I'm mostly stuck with Bots and ARAM...but now comes the problem. The higher your level, the more equal opponents you get. I decided that bots wouldn't help me against players, so I decided to play ARAM to practise battles/team fights and try to learn how to play champs without risking defeat on my team and how to fight against real players. I think it helped...but I kept on playing it and playing it and now...I'm level 20. I see more players with skins, more expensive champions, better players. That's because I got alot of EXP from ARAM and now...I don't know what to do! If I return into ARAM, yeah, I get that win of the day bonus, I practise one lane with a entire team on my side, but then I'll get higher levels which means that I will become more and more useless to players I play in Normal Solo Que. If I keep playing bot, I'll have fun, but I won't get better and I will just be stuck and eventually forget all I learned from ARAM. If I go back to Solo Que with the "better players" I will be absolutely panned! WHY ARE YOU GOING TOP WITH GANGPLANK WITH IGNITE!? HOW COULD YOU DIE TOP?! WHY CAN'T YOU GET A KILL!? WHY HAVEN'T YOU UNINSTALLED LEAGUE YET!??!? And my mains...I'm not even THAT good with yet. And my mains were Darius and Garen! Now people will think I only use them so I can farm exp with broken champions and that I only do it because I suck at league, much like what happened with me and heimerdinger. People will kill me for not knowing how to play adc or mid very well. People will report me for not knowing how to invade. And people will be mad that I barely know how to build champs beyond the recommended items in the shop. I'm not afraid of the community. I'm afraid of the players. The worst thing that the enemy team has told me was "rekt". At this point, I dunno what to do! And I know what people to say. "Nah man. Just stop being a coward and play some normals you idiot. Get rekt if you have to" or "MUTE" . I don't have the courage. And you know what is the worst part? I got lag problems...before the server change. It's unpredictable. Like the wi-fi got a mind of it's own. So I'm trying to tell my team in a honest way that I got internet problems. So far, the way I tell them, they are ok with it, but that's not going to last for long. And sooner or later they will call it a excuse. So I'm risking making it worse for my team AND ASWELL being afk out of my control. I got reported once for crashing during the champion select. And I got reported once for saying one curse word when I got my first ever penta kill. And since I'm aware of the "lack of skill" report option. I'm scared. But sometimes. Words of others keeps me going. My skype friends has made this far easier then it would have been on my own and when I'm with someone in normal, atleast I feel a little bit safe. So that's why I'm posting this. I don't want to be the guy who goes "I'm so sad, SEND MONEY TO MY KICKSTATA" but I just want help, advice, someone to tell me it's going to be alright. A coach, a pat on the back from a Rioter, a freaking smiley face. ANYTHING AT THIS POINT! And I haven't even gotten to ranked yet. I'm such a wuss. The comments here will be my only hope.

Until you get high up, it isn't going to get much better honestly, you are always going to have that one asshole, that one jerk, that one person who just gets riled up and flips.

Play the game to have fun, avoid ranked like the plague, stick to ARAM and bots and don't worry about solo que. At the end of the day, this game is just that, a game, play what you find fun and even if you aren't doing well, as long as you are having fun, you are doing what matters most to you.

Many people are jerks. I lose the majority of my matches, have an unpredictable schedule, and am probably a p!ss-poor excuse of a summoner. While the other people may be better or worse, you gotta remember, Edison found 99 ways how not to make a light bulb before he found the one way that worked. You gotta stay positive, learn from what you do wrong and try to fix it in later matches, and most importantly, be the best you can be. As for the flamers, blamers and haters, mentally ignore them. They're just not worth the attention. If you get reported for trying to do your best, than the person who reported you is probably one of those people who makes a quota of 30 reports per week and will be ignored by the Tribunal. It's not life or death. It is a method of entertainment and enjoyment.
