Why do high elo players almost always get salty when playing with low elo players?
They knew what they were getting into.

Because they know they are good, and simply don't want to deal with noobs ruining their potential victory. It's not too hard to grasp. NOBODY likes doing amazing in a game, just to lose because your team sucks.
I'm not defending them by any means, they should expect as much. I'm just answering your question.
Because they think they have a superiority complex due to their higher rank, and they want to project their power onto us.
You really should just ignore them, no amount of skill can fix toxicity.
But for the high elo players that aren't condescending douchebags, you da real MVP
Why do low ELO players act like they're God's gift to League when they solo kill diamond players who are on a champion they've never tried before in normals?
The reason is the same. Ego. Everyone has it, some worse than others.
it's because you're bad and think you know what you're doing.
Not all high elo players are that bad :x
Just gotta realize that toxicity travels across the game, and no one, whether it be bronze or challenger, is safe from it.
These salty high elo players you're mentioning are just toxic, and I'm sure they act the same way in a game of solo queue at their own league.
Why did Hitler hate Jewish people?
They believe that being in low elo means have less skill in the game, even if the people in low elo are climbing to reach the high elo. Its a complex that when you are higher skilled, you automatically think people lower than you suck. This mentality happens all over the world. It also causes the lower elo to believe that all high elo are selfish egotistical people who only want to play with the best. Its a two way street with assumptions and both stink. Personally I like both high and low elo players.
I can imagine that it's less to do with the fact that they're "better" or someone is "worse", and a lot more to do with the mentality that everyone has to have a perfect game.
Losing lane is not GG. First blood is not GG. Losing a teamfight is not GG, hell, last week in the LCS, TSM proved that a $10K gold lead isn't even GG.
There are a dozen ways to win a match, and when you flame someone for the smallest insignificant mistake and then continue this unwarranted hatred for the rest of the game, I don't blame them for getting salty.
I can't speak for every high elo player, and 'high elo' is definitely a perspective on where you place. There are undoubtedly Gold ranked players that worked their way up and think themselves above their like-minded Bronze-mindset brethren, despite still flaming over nothing and inciting tilt in their teammates over a single failed gank or single failed teamfight.
This isn't an all encompassing post, but it's an observation I have made throughout my time playing league.
They knew what they were getting into. yup, yet are more salty than necessary - like over bullshit, 1 lost team fight, 1 failed gank (as stated).
i had motor skills side effects from medicine i took, yet was more tilted from the way i was spoken to by a "gold player" who "is monster" yet was so tilted by me having trouble, that time was wasted complaining versus DOING SHIT TO PROVE ELO -__-
