How do I deal with this type of situational bullying?

So recently I've experienced a type of "Rank Status Discrimination." I am a support and ADC main and this past season made it to diamond on those 2 roles. Lately I've been taking to normal games to practice my other roles, jungle in specific. Apparently the people I played with expected me to be good at everything I did and started with the "what the hell was that you diamond (profanity)?" kinds of comments. It eventually got to the point where literally everything got pinned on me. And like some suggestions from the Riot staff I muted them or just ignored them but eventually I started getting blamed for that as well. "Please report this (profanity) diamond for refusing to communicate with team." So I saw a bunch of these type of comments and over the course of plenty of games got fed up with this kind of abuse. So I ask what am I supposed to do? Seems I get reported for not meeting the expectations of my border?

Jungle role is particularly susceptible to abuse from other players. They blame you when they suck, they blame you when you're not as good as the enemy jungler, they blame you when you don't meet their expectations, and they blame you if you lose the game. I get so much hate as a jungler. Best solution is to put your big boy pants on and report after or not play jungle.

Its a computer game... why are you taking this so harshly. Those people dont matter. Get over it, its just a computer game. So many people on the internet do this.

still doesn't solve the innate issue of the bratty kids who play this game... there isn't really a solution other than queueing with friends or what Hits From The Bomb said. I still find it mind numbingly frustrating that this the common ground of the player base.. the responsibility is everyone's but mine and i'm perfect.. i feel like this is a much bigger issue in NA than other servers...am I right?

Explain politely, if it doesn't work, ignore or mute. You'll never get punished with that attitude.
