Understanding A Bad Game Vs. Feeding

Hello everyone. Over my years of league, I've realized the community constantly getting worse and worse. Even with the new honor system out, You still get a huge crowd of the toxics. The most common thing that starts toxicity is someone having a bad game. I'm writing this basically to vent I guess, and hope a few others that are doing this can read this. So, I'm playing Poppy top lane against a Jayce. I did not perform to well in the lane, especially with the ganks from the enemy team vs the little ganks from mines. After a while, my team started giving me loads of crap, after realizing how fed Jayce was. On a sidenote, No, I did not blame Jungler. I said sorry for my own actions although it is true I sat under tower the entirety of the game with no ganks and the second I pushed a wave mid and jungle was in my lane xD. Anyways, back on topic. Everyone started telling everyone to report me, we did still have a chance to win.But after being belittled in chat for so long, eventually muting everyone, it was too late for me. It pisses me off because it happens so little, but when it does I get so much crap for it. This needs to change, because I find myself not even wanting to play for the rest of the day after a bad game. How do you players feel on this? Is there anyways we can make this community better?

Making the community better starts with you. Don't call people out for dying and don't rage at others. Mute toxic people or try to untilt them if you have the patience for it. It sucks to get raged at, I been there and I get always targeted because of my border if I don't play amazing when I try out new champions or roles in normal games, heck even in ARAM I get raged at. At the end of the day all I can do is mute people and sometimes I just mute all at the start of the game.

For the most part communication in league of legends is either "gj" or flame texts. Pings are enough of communication for everyone. Take a deep breath and a break for now and good luck in your future games!

What do you expect.

Until there is an individual rank/metric for your individual performance, players are going to rage if there is a weak link on their team causing them to lose a competitive game. This happens in ANY competitive team sport/game/activity at ANY level, it is human nature to shun the weakest link in a group.

At the end of the day, if you play terribly and throw a game, you wasted 20-60 minutes of 4 other people's time, and pissed them off. So I'm not sure why you act as if you're a victim if you get well-deserved flames. Flaming is defensive... if Riot doesn't like it they should either remove the chat feature, improve the matchmaking, or let people get measured by their performance rather than their teams.

They're both the same and I have no sympathy for either.
