What do you do when your support trolls you?

Idk if this guy was doing it intentionally but he picked taric to pair with my jhin and immediately walks into the enemy Kai'Sa / Raka and gets melted but survives. Then he B's and i can't farm because it's harassment city and no taric stuns. I ask him to not go into them again and just let me farm till i get ult. "use your stun to keep them away from me for now" were my exact words of advice. He then proceeds to just sit next to me and not do anything regardless of whether or not they're going in on me. I was tower dove and he sat there staring. After this i give him some casual flame, a "wtf man i need you to do something" here or there and he just runs to top lane saying i'm a feeder. What am i supposed to do here? they have 4 kills now and triple my farm from his antics and now i'm solo in this lane. Is this just a guaranteed loss?

you typed to him in a stressful situation

that's why he trolled

you can eliminate what you do to get him going or to make him feel criticized and that will be the difference maker

i know it's stupid, but low elo players are often low maturity and will lash out if they feel attacked, the best thing to do is to just never type

if you're already past that point you can roam and take jungle camps and pray you scale and come back later, but i only recommend this on like a twitch where you can assassinate your opponents laners and help your team get ahead since you'll be contributing nothing until late game due to your low mental partner

How did you come to the conclusion that was the reason he trolled? Also why are you make it seem that saying something to someone else in a stressful situation is negative? Especially what is being said is positive/ more so neutral in this case.

He's right. As a certified flamer and troller myself.

Never criticise. Anything that makes people think their ability is called into question will result in them wanting to get "1 up" on you in anyway possible. They don't care about winning the game.

how is telling someone to play defensively after getting behind is trying to one up them? If you die in lane and your laner tells you, hey lets play defensively for now, you think they are trying to put you down?

I guess if you actively troll and flame, you think yourself way highly than your team so its hard for you to believe that lesser people could ever say anything of value to you

He's right dude. And he's not even insulting you about it, he's insulting the sensitive taric. Any logical person will come to this conclusion that it was you getting verbal that caused him to troll. And that's because we have experience with league and it's players. Not all of them are like this, but clearly that Taric is. It's an insult to the Taric player, not you.

because i've played this game before. this is league community 101, if you say things after people make a mistake they get defensive and play worse, it's even a loading screen tip... it's not like a researcher is needed for this information

idk why, but in my head this would be the best youtube content if it was animated -- with taric's troll face.

Yeah, you fucked up by getting verbal. Don't talk to these league kids. You never know if you're getting a stable, logical person, or a sensitive egotistical dummy who will spite you because you hurt his feelings. Just don't take the chance.

The thing is he didn't even die, he just overestimated our abilities and I was jhin against literally anyone with a soraka. If he was karma then I would've joined him but not taric. I didn't flame him initially i just asked him to stop going in. Then he sat there doing nothing, he didn't even pick up the coins from his ancient coin drops. He didn't attempt to peel. He never used his stun or his heal. He just stayed away. When I died he'd call me a feeder. After that I flamed him and he left the lane.

It wasn't me being an asshole that started this he just wanted to act this way because i didn't go in and give them a double kill for no reason in a lane we were already handicapped on.
