So after the game was over my team was flaming me for not helping in fights and everything, and I'm struggling to see why. I had the highest Kill Participation (Tied with Shyvana and Soraka), Lowest Deaths, Most Damage, Highest CS, Most Gold, etc. I basically did better at everything than the rest of my team, yet I was still blamed for the loss. (I was Twisted Fate)

I'll admit I hesitated to teamfight in the late game, but seeing their team comp, I didn't think it was a good idea. I thought it would be better to try to land picks than straight up fight because even though we had the engage it wasn't exactly reliable as I saw it.

I don't want this to sound arrogant, I'm trash at this game, I know, but I genuinely hesitate to say that I am the reason we lost this game. I know at least 20% of the fault lies with me, but I think I made out pretty decently. I just want to know what I could've done differently.

I don't particularly care about the flaming part. I wasn't part of their premade so I expected it, and the enemy team had very kind things to say to me afterwards about my play. It just bothers me that frankly, I outclassed them in every way and they still turned and blamed me for the loss. Should I just chalk it up to mob mentality or should I have dived into the fights even though I was sure they would not go in our favor?

Note: Ezreal DC'd frequently so we couldn't capitalize on leads as frequently.

IMO you made the right call. They theoretically had a better team fight and composition hands down as it was (( aoe/dps Jinx, dive/splash Riven, dive/cc/peel/splash Hecarim, cc/burst/splash Viktor and cc/peel Morgana))
vs
(( burst/cc TwistedFate, dive/splash/dmg Shyvana, cc/splash/burst/peel Gnar, heal/beef Soraka and dps/poke Ezreal))

The only peel and tank you had was a gnar (if he was mega) to stop a flash morg, hec and riven. Not sure why shyv got so much damage and then a titanic with only one hp item to boost its dmg. Raka appears to be the only one who did her job and built based on the situation. If ez was dcing then not much you could do.

For almost all of the game their team was ahead in gold and based on your kill participation....... you gave your team plenty of chances to recover but they kept throwing those chances away, I assume in 4V5's or flat out engaging without communicating and assuming you were present (based on the graphs).

The gnar didn't necessarily need to win vs riven but there's no way in the world that he should've died that much (even if it after laning phase).

Obviously there's always something to improve upon but you're not even close to being the cause for this loss

if you play mid. ban viktor. hes broken as hell. right now. viktor solo carry potential is ridiculous and the damage is obscene.

and btw. its not your fualt. your team was bad. they did no damage and they fed

As TF, you are stun-bot in teamfights. so follow behind the team and stun for them.

If you play solo and get picked up by a partial premade, everything is your fault. Doesn't matter if the other team is just better at the game, or If they are so obsessed with the kill score that they tower dive knowing they won't survive just for the kill.

Yep, but if they win they friend you, lmfao.

Btw, with those stats I would say you did pretty good.

It's just League, the players are mostly rude and self-serving. This might be because of many things, but I'd attribute it pretty wholly to youth.

It's not worth any effort whatsoever. Usually when players do that, it's best to just mute them and let them keep spending time typing instead of thinking of how they can suck less.

Keep doing you. It sounds like it worked.
