I need some advice.

So, I was in a ranked game as Nidalee against a Singed. I counter-picked. Cassiopeia, the mid on my team, started flaming me for not picking a tank during champion select. Then, Soraka was picked as support instead of a tank. Cass flamed Soraka as well. Now, during game, I proceeded to win lane 4/0 against the Singed. But our ADC and Soraka did not have decent synergy. Nobody fed bot lane, Sivir just didn't go in when Soraka targeted. Arguably, they just had to come to their terms, no big deal. But Cass then said "shut up Soraka" and Soraka ends up feeding Diana intentionally. Whose fault is it?

On top of that, is there a way to avoid these types of people? I use to mute button often. I admit I am not a very good player. My elo is bad. But that does not mean I'm not trying to get out of it. I just need advice other than mute button. Should I try to tell Soraka to not mind Cass or argue with Cass about stopping the flame just because she didn't get her tanks on the team?

Thank you!

Some people are going to be toxic no matter what.. The best thing you can do is mute them. Why? Because arguing with them/disagreeing/having anything that apposes their point of view will just make them even more mad. If you mute them, they have no1 to argue with but the other team which will ultimately make him look bad anyways. Basically if muting them doesn't result in him/her feeding. Then it was the best option for the reasons i have mentioned.

Well that's my opinion at least, and this has been based off my experience with toxic ppl.

I am not the greatest player. I tried a few ranked games awhile back but didn't do well and a couple games had pretty toxic people in them. So I stay out of ranked for now. I try to be better by learning enough champs to handle different lanes in my style. But not being the best and learning new champs mean that you will get put in with other players who are maybe better, but throw enough games to have a similar win/loss. I report the trolls, the ones who walk into your lane and melee all the minions you just wasted 100 mana on just to be jerks. Or who follow you through the jungle stealing your devourer stacks. I really don't think Riot does anything to them. I don't get mad at other players for losing lane, or coming out badly in the k/d/a scheme of things. It's just there are so many people who try to ruin other peoples games intentionally. I just got saved from a loss when the servers went down. As jungler i pinged bot lane I was incoming. ping again when i am just about to enter vision and ping the target. adc runs behind turret with close to full health and watches me die to support after I killed off the adc. A couple minutes later she starts moving again and I think that emergencies can happen, maybe just bad timing. Then she does the same crap again. Her support asks for all to report her. She is unresponsive to chat or pings but is obviously at keys. I apologize but say i can't keep coming bot and dying because of her. But then mid enemy goes bot and our mid goes bot and jungler goes towards bot and I have to go down because it's a team fight and not going to leave my team in bad odds. Once again. fight goes down, she goes and hides in the bushes until it is over. It would be nice if riot could at least not count the lost games if enough people report a player for intentionally acting against their team. If Riot deleveled or banned or something to these players, I can't imagine their being so many of them. I know they are a minority, but it still seems like every game or two has them. That is a lot of people who are intentionally not playing for fun of the game but for fun of ruining others games.
