Why am I not allowed to have a negative attitude?

Honestly, just lost a game because I lanned vs singed and inevitably lost lane because 1v1ing him in any stage of the game, unless you're vayne, is remotely fucking impossible. So, because I lost said lane, I told my team that I'm not having a fun time and that I just want to leave in all honesty. Low and behold, the slightest bit of fucking negativity that comes out my mouth, my team starts going ape shit in all chat stating "Report Aatrox for giving up lul", and Singed knowing that I wasn't having fun, started saying "Will do". Like, because I was the "entire reason" we lost the game, even though my Cait had 56 cs at the 18 minute mark, my team just looks for any leverage to shove their fucking hatred down the first thing they can. I hate that, I honestly fucking hate that about people. The first thing they notice that isn't going in their favor, they just go all out to make my game a living hell. If anything, that should be reportable, not the fact that I legit wasn't having fun.

It IS reportable. Regardless of what you say in chat, it doesn't give them a right to turn on you and flame you. Even if you go off and start flaming them all to hell because you lost your lane, under the ToS, they are not allowed to flame back.

Sometimes you're going to have rough lanes. Sometimes you're going to have impossible ones. It's perfectly reasonable for you to not enjoy losing lane. It's even fine for you to say that you're upset about it, or to admit that you're just not having any fun. But there are four other people on your team who are still trying to win the match, and if you say that you just want to quit repeatedly, it can get to be very annoying. Especially if the match isn't unwinnable. When one person starts to talk about quitting, or things being a loss, it begins to chip away at the morale of the rest of the team, and it very quickly begins to undermine any chance that your team has for winning. It can tilt other players for the rest of the match, or even for their next few matches. And this is why Riot, and your team, don't want negativity in their matches.

This is why you disable all chat, if you get tilted even once from all chat, disable it. The only thing all chat is good for is being polite to an enemy, but if all chat just brings you stress disable it.

...you can't 1v1 singed early?

So... Just because you aren't good enough to beat someone in lane, you give up the match so 4 other people have to lose with you?

It's just early game, and people throw games all the time. If you can't win early game, win mid / late game instead. Not give up and in the first sight of adversity.
