League, Where Even Co-Ops Bring out the Salt in Everyone

Wanted to test out Ekko jungle first in co-op before making the leap to normals. For some reason, we ended up with duo top and solo bot. Our bot was a Platinum 3 who said she was doing this for "practice," not to "have to put up with some dip." She proceeded to go 26/0/5. I show up 1-2 times, as I'm going around trying out ganking every lane to test out matchups and situations, and... you know that meme with Patrick from SpongeBob where he has 1 assist and he says "and now I'm gonna starve"? That was her. "Go help the lanes that need help." It's bots. No lane ever really needs help.

Yes, I understand that if a lane is already snowballed I, as a jungler, don't really need to help, but I'm being honest when I say I only showed up when I did because 1) I legitimately thought she was in a bad spot and 2) Few other gank opportunities were presenting themselves. She was facing a 2v1, and bots will chase you down until they reach turret range in that scenario, so she was often pushed in and gankable. The others, however, tended to be taking care of their own business and/or pushed to turret. The most I could do with them half the time was practice my turret diving, which is easier with Ekko than most, and I did test that out some as well. I could've also farmed some more, but in co-op you really just need to do a clear or two to get a feel for what it's like and anything past that doesn't tell you anything more.

I was literally just trying to gather as much information as I could from this co-op, seeing what I could do in every situation, and all this person did was question me at every turn. This is a running theme with League, whether it be ranked, team builder, co-op, featured modes, etc. Everyone is always a try hard, and I'm always worried that a match is going to descend into toxicity, even if it starts out as really good natured, fun ribbing. People in this game just seem to be perpetually on the edge and about to go over it with the slightest nudge.
