Blaming others for losing the game in ranked

Alright, I just recently had a ranked game where I played jg as Amumu. We didn't have such a great start because in the early phase of the game the score was 2/7 Here's the thing that really bothers me, our top lane and bot lane immediately said "gg" and "it's over" even though I was imploring them not to give up and quit. I kept trying to say how we have a better late game and we could still turn things around. However my team refused to communicate with me and bot lane complained about how I "didn't gank as much as the other jung" but when I did gank, I was able to secure a kill on the enemy support. Our adc immediately raged about how I "stole" the kill and kept going on about how I ks. As the game progressed they kept flaming me about how bad of a jg I was and how i "never ganked". as the game went on, the score shifted to 6/22~, with me having 5 of those kills. our bot lane raged as me saying how I "ks" all the kills and they kept blaming me and saying that I'm "useless", as if I was the only reason the game was lost, even though I kept urging them not to quit. . . . I see this problem very often in ranked silver/bronze, teammates blame each other for their own mistakes. Even though I did make mistakes myself, I really tried my best to be a good jg, and to win the game. I thought I did fine, but our top lane and bot lane constantly blamed me as if I was the only reason we lost the game, ignoring the fact that each of them were 0/5 and lost lane. I'm not saying I was perfect, but that teammates in bronze/silver refuse to admit that they lost lane/the game, and blame the jg for not winning their lane, even though I tried my best to help them. In my opinion, we would've had a chance if my teammates cooperated with me and atleast tried. I think the main reason why we silvers/bronze (including me) are stuck in that elo is because we don't have the right mindset to win, or we give up way too easily before it's even over. Even if you aren't as skilled as the other people in your league, you can surpass them with the right mindset.

TL;DR NEVER GIVE UP, JUST DO IT.................. ..........DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS

Some games are just unwinnable due to Teammates lacking the skill needed to sustain their elo. For example. i am a support main. I always ensure victory in bot lane for my Elo, i am not saying i am the best. but i know how to make sure my adc is fed and can help my team very Consistantly and Efficiantly. However. When your top laner is so ... "unseasoned" allowing his enemy to push and walk bot with no consequence. then something is wrong. Many times our lane winning results in a 5man gank which calls for Extreme playmaking on our part. We usually take down 2 or 1 of them but they do end up getting us and our tower. making it easier for them to ambush. Wards are placed but when being flanked from all sides. nothing you can do. I am just saying this as a bot lane main. but Sometimes people are to blame for their lack of Effort that the enemy team is poviding for their team. Sorry to hear about your game. but it needs to be addressed that it goes both ways.

I think one of the things that is frustrating about the community is how different player behavior is when you are doing well vs poorly. I have two accounts from leveling a second one when a friend started playing, and they were both bronze when I did placements, but I practiced and got better on one of them and got to gold. I decided to put the other in gold for end of season rewards before I focus on really trying to climb to plat, and I had almost no toxic teammates in bronze bc I was 3 or 4-0 by like 8-10 minutes a lot of games and even if someone did bad I could ask the team not to get upset with them and just rotate and help lanes out and everyone would end up being chill and working together bc they trusted we would win. Games that no one was hard carrying though people would start getting angry and then someone raged back and it's all shit. So it sucks bc the most consistent way to have a positive experience is to be significantly better then opponents and still climbing. Like 1 in 5 really close and even games happens with no one blaming someone for throwing a lead or making a dumb play and that sucks, because even games that are competitive should be the goal of a good match making system and they end up with some of the worst behavior.
