Told Thresh to land a hook in the most polite way I could

Entire team flames me and asks to report, enemy team even joins in on the BM and harassment and causes my team to tilt and AFK.

Fuck this ELO, I'm tired of this garbage every game. Losing yet another series because people are too dense to fucking take criticism.

Edit; just had another game where someone got pointlessly offended at criticism. Enemy Olaf tries to gank me without boots when I had zerkers. I endlessly kite him to his death and say "Olaf, how did you expect to catch me without boots?"

My team; "Wow Draven talking shit so BM durr durr durr"

Fucking Hell.

"The most polite way I could"

Pray tell what that was.

The problem is that you're giving him useless advice. No shit he should hit his skillshots. He knows that. You telling him isn't going to help him do it.

Now, if you give him advice like "Aim for this person, they're bad at dodging" or "Save your hook for peel, until that person dives" or "Try to use your hook to get a pick" that's actually useful because it's something he can change his behavior and follow (and if you say it nicely, people actually listen and follow your advice).

But saying "You need to land a hook" is like saying "git gud" -- utterly useless.

How exactly did you ask him?

Just lost another ranked game, went 0/3/14 as Lulu. Literally nothing you can do when your team feeds the crap out of Teemo . My adc wasn't bad, but my mid laner and top were not very good. Trying to climb out of Bronze, had a 5 game win streak going, and I've lost 3 in a row. Damn...

Why are you trying to give advice in Bronze ? I've realized that Bronze is made of almost entirely of players than think they can make Diamond but are being held back by feeding teammates, junglers who don't gank, mid laners who don't commit themselves to an obviously stupid engagement(Number 1 thing I get flamed for.). I'm actually trying not to be one of these and as a result, I've been improving quite steadily and have been able to carry a number of games consistently.

The best thing you can do is to realize that if you are better than Bronze, you will climb regardless of all the trash that exists at this elo. Bronze players, for the most part are actually so terrible that sometimes I think only retards play at this elo. This is why Golds and Plats have no problem whatsoever getting out. We just have to learn to capitalize on the extreme stupidity that goes on at this elo. Start by accepting that you don't know how just yet. In other words, don't assume you know everything already. Trust me, you don't.
