Twisted Treeline: What am I missing here?

So I decided to go into a Twisted Treeline 3 vs Bots game tonight to do something new and different. Everything I've seen about this is "Fast Paced, not a lot of strategy, get ready to gank and be ganked at a moment's notice so don't be Squishy." So that's what I do. It's the Beginner Bots, so not particularly difficult, and about 7 min in we've essentially destroyed everything but the Nexus. But then my teammates tell me to pull back from the Nexus just as I start to attack it... so I back off, killing Minions as I leave 'cuz why not? The minions that were with us finish off the Nexus, we win - and suddenly I'm being called an Idiot and told that one of them wishes my mother would die of something censored.

Being a newb to LoL, I'm quite used to being abused by other players - but that's almost entirely in situations where the team is losing or I'm unintentionally feeding. (or where I called Bot, someone immediately after me called ADC, and they decided that they called it first and when I wouldn't yield Bot to him, he was an arsehole the entire game) So getting this kind of shit for winning a game too quickly - what am I missing here?

Technically, 6:53 or else no XP is earned. Most of the people playing beginner 3v3 are doing it to level up, that particular mode has its own conventions by now, since everybody there (just about) is doing it to level up or else for missions.

The issue is because when a game is over too fast there's no XP gains. That time is, I believe, 7 minutes.

Doesn't excuse their behavior, especially since they should have explained why, but it does explain it.

I kinda get where they are coming from (not the flaming/toxicity bit of course), not from the perspective of XP gains but more that I prefer when bot games go longer so i can get more practice in ...

Anyway you gotta get used to muting or ignoring people, lot of haters on this game
