As a jungle main I instantly mute everyone on my team.

It doesn't matter how well you are doing or how well the team is doing. Every single game there is always someone flaming their jungler. I have legit had games where we are just hard stomping. I will have completing removed their jungler from the game through counter ganks and invades, taken every objective on the map and have snowballed both bot and mid lane. So because I have been pretty busy I haven't spend much time ganking top( not exclusive to top) who constantly dies 1v1 but keeps trying to duel. Then the flame begins.

Hell even if the top lane isn't doing that bad and only has like 2 deaths, but their struggling a bit or in an annoying lane they still will flame. Doesn't matter if the score is 25-3 you still get flamed. Why does everyone in this game have this mentality where their lane is the only one in the game. If you are struggling but your team is stomping then PLAY AROUND THEM. Don't start flaming your jungler who has 80% kill participation and every obj. Like Jesus Christ. It is so beyond tilting for me that I have to just mute everyone every game.

I do that to my toplaner every game regardless of who i am

Idk what it is, all of them are just blatantly toxic for no reason and i havent seen one toplaner who was losing be anything but toxic to their team.

I feel you. You manage to be 4/0/8 by ganking midlane / botlane, invading the enemy jungler, but the toplane Riven 1 trick keeps trying to 1v1 the Darius who rushed item 3047 and then starts flaming "useless jungler reported"

I don't think it's related to 1 role, being yelled at while winning. I think it's just the game in general, this is the only game where you could be pub stomping yet you still see people on your team complaining worse than if you guys were being defeated.

Weird. I never experience this.

People flame because the jungle role is frustrating to deal with in general. The jungle role is able to distribute a lot of advantage over the three lanes if played well.

It's not always possible to help every lane, but wouldn't you feel frustrated if you kept getting 2v1d and dove under tower while your jungler couldn't help you. People always flame out of frustration. This game IS frustrating whether it's their fault, your fault, whoevers fault, maybe even nobody's fault.

Ironically if a toplaner gets camped by the enemy and feeds he's going to get flamed by his team. Bottom line is the game almost never feels fair and is incredibly frustrating, I'm surprised people don't flame more.

As for the: "my lane is the only one in the game" mentality, it's rather obvious. From the perspective of a laner, the most important thing is to win lane (even when it's not), everyone wants to be good and not dragging the team down in a visible way. Furthermore having fun is directly proportional to winning YOUR lane.

Edit: also keep in mind people often flame the easiest target. How would top blame the botlane or midlane for losing him his own lane? They usually don't interfere at all. The jungle role on the other hand is an easy target because interfering in ALL the lanes is literally jungle's job.

I hate when people flame the jg, especially when you're playing, say, Kindred or Eve against Warwick or Rammus. People complain you're not ganking as much, without even looking at the enemy jg's champ. They also get super pissed when you're behind even though the bot leash stole your buff, and it's suddenly your fault when midlaner's lane starts roaming. Honestly, jg and support are probably the most flamed role, and the most critical imo. People don't realize how your actions can impact the entire team, since your actions generally are the most affecting on the game. It's a lot of pressure, and can be very hard, since you're reliant on your teammates not being idiots, and not dying eight times and asking for more ganks on their 8/1 laner. Also, if all three lanes lose, you pretty much lose as well. When they are stupid, you're gonna take the blame.

I do that regardless, rarely do they have anything insightful/interesting to say.

so true. I am right now pissed off by someone in the last game. Riot should consider a silent mode.

It’s super helpful. Getting caught up in chat can heavily effect the game even if you aren’t saying anything. Yesterday I decided to mute everyone early after our mid laners were going at it over first blood and so I muted everyone. Walked away 17/3/17 on Camille top because I was able to focus on the macro/micro parts of the game instead of in game chat.
