People keep flaming me ;w;

So I tend to play with friends from school and stuff and they've been playing the game years before I have (I've been playing for a month) and so they're already like level 200 and pretty good at the game in my opinion. Now, whenever I play with them, I've been starting to grow anxiety. The people I get matched up with are like a good 100 levels ahead of me and way better so I don't tend to do well while playing with them. My friends are supportive but the amount of hate and flames I keep getting are actually starting to affect me so much. I used to ignore it and played no matter how bad I was doing but now it's just impossible and I get super upset. I want to keep playing with my friends because it's fun with them but I also don't want to because of how terrible I am compared to the people I'm playing with and the hate I'm getting for it. So what do I do?

Mute them as soon as they start

Besides muting non premades if they are toxic you could try to improve fast, so you dont get stomped on so hard.

I think you could improve fast if you pick mechanically easy champions so you could be able to focus on macro more than micro playing. You could watch some educational league youtube chanels, because you will never catch up with your friend just by playing more (like you said, they've been playin for ages) I recomend this play list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbxQTpePYcYOH6mzB54298Wr4I_BCQq5w

Also there are some roles that might be harder for you than others, try to focus on the roles that are easier for you when you are playing with your friend even if they are not the most entartaining. If for example you do constantly bad on your favorire role maybe play it only when you are playing on your own so you wont be stompped as bad as with your higher exp premades (the playlist above could help with that, too) i.e. on my newest account (a pre lvl 30) I once had an awfull jungler and in his profile 60% of his games were loses with awful score but the other 40% were victories in other roles.

Also maybe you are not playing champions thay suit your playstyle? In my case I love KaT and Ezreal but no matter whay I kinda suck with them so most of the time I play Lux in mid lane and MF on bot lane (mecanichally they are way easier than Ezreal and Kat) Also once I had a Jhin that fed hard and it's profile made me realise he always ALWAYS did awfull with Jhin but decent to good with other adc. Sometimes we like a champion's design and kit but that doesn't mean it suit us.
