Why don't people understand there's a difference between having a bad game and losing on purpose?

I see all the threads and in game chat that talk about how you shouldn't report someone for "having a bad game". they say things like "just because they are negative doesn't mean they aren't trying" etc, etc.

The problem is that most of the time that isn't the issue that upsets people, or merits reports. Sure, some people get salty and report anyone negative on their team, but that's the anomaly.

When people get upset is when someone is making the same bad choices over and over and over and rejecting any advice or help from their team to do better.

It isn't just "having a bad game" when after being told to hug turret you run out to the middle of the lane to die for a 5th consecutive time.

it isn't "having a bad game" when you refuse to ward dragon out of spite for your team. It isn't "having a bad game" when you get salty and refuse to group because you are angry.

It isn't "having a bad game" when you refuse to build tanky on your top lane bruiser despite feeding and having no kills.

The community will be overwhelming nice to someone who says "man, i'm having a rough game, I'll do my best guys" or "I'm not winning this lane, can anyone help?". Nobody has a problem with someone who tries to help their team, does their best, and is apologetic about their poor game. Very few are reporting players like that.

**People need to understand the difference between having a bad game but making the most out of it and throwing a temper tantrum and sabotaging your own team. People report the players who go on tilt and then stop even trying to win, who refuse to help their team out of spite and anger, who will continue to make bad choices because someone told them not to. These players are throwing games because they are immature and only want to play if they are the ones carrying the game, and they need to get reported. **
