take it easy on newer players

I used to be Diamond 5 in HOTS and i have to say I do a lot of stupid things in this game such as being in a bad position, over extending, not checking CS/Items on enemy team enough calling for dragon/ baron when all 5 of enemy are up and we can't see them on mini map etc etc etc that i wouldn't do in HOTS.

This is a very complicated game and there is a lot of info to learn. Even after 75 hours of play im starting to finally buy the 75 gold control wards.

People that are new have a lot of things to process. My advise to the learned player base is to just mute everyone. Use pings to tell people were to go. If they can't even follow pings then typing is not going to help.

We don't bash new players for no reason. I don't see why old players should "the learned player base is to just mute everyone" ? They aren't special. To add to my first point, most if not all new players I've ran into types first. They usually make arguments that make no sense because they don't know that much yet. Best one I can remember now is "Yi why are you keeping distance?????? you could've been my buffer" when my midlaner yasuo died to enemy Katarina who flash shunpo q him. I explained it to him how Katarina can choose who to dash and she flashed but he still was angry. He ended his argument by saying he was 3 weeks into the game and I'll be in iron forever" which is how most chat goes with new player. It may be that i have been unlucky to run into trash but from my experience so far, they pretty much deserve it. They should know not to argue about things they don't fully know or at all.

I'm doing them a favor by making them quit before they waste their time on a dead game.

I never interact with new players, which is sad I would love some genuinely free wins :(

People will still flame you even when you're not new. In fact it actually gets worse the higher up the ranked ladder you go. It's part of why I play ranked as little as possible and avoid queuing alone if I can.
