The Bitterness of Defeat

Roughly two weeks ago I was on a fairly good winning streak, with only a few lost matches. My teammates were nice , I was managing not to feed and even once or twice carry a match. That isn't to say they were easy, some of them were only won through teamwork and communication after early disadvantages.

Anyway, my multitude of losses first started when I was matched with a toxic Plat player who constantly belittled and flamed our team throughout the match, particularly our who had unintentionaly fed the enemy . That isn't to say I did perfectly throughout the match, what with my pulls as lacking their normal "oomph".After that, every match I was in seemed to have at least one toxic player who resorted to flaming when the chips were down. and sadly, my deteriorating skill didn't help bring them back up.

I had my worst match yet just now. Our had fallen prey from an early invade and that had started a downward spiral for us all. I had been ganked twice early on by their aggressive and only managed to barely hold my lane after. The other lanes had fared worse and frustration on a whole was high, culminating at an instant surrender at twenty while I berated our for calling us "bronze trash" (We were all unranked in normals btw).

With all that said. I don't know what to do at this point. My team seems to always have a flamer, my skill is worsening with each match played and my frustration grows alongside my losing streak. How do I overcome this bitterness of defeat and once again have fun and not frustration at this game?

Thank you for your time if you read my rant, I feel slightly better to have vented my emotions.
