Isn't it weird how people who play poorly call others trash?
I mean, I get that you want to feel you're superior to me, but if I'm 4/0 in lane and you're 0/4, I'm pretty sure we both know who the trash is.

i could get all psychologie now, but my english isnt good enough for that so i try my best to describe it our brain is very good at lying to ourselfes, when the topic is about our performance. therefore the "average (dumb) human" has his brain react in some way when he is doing poorly. in LoL its usually the blame on the first teammate that makes contact with him. and if noone does, its usually the jungler. just try giving a 0/4 yasuo (yea i picked yasuo for clichee reasons) the advice to play safe and farm up. he will blame you for his score even if you did nothing that would influence him negativ in any way
They want to blame others, just let them be
not really... its called projecting, its something that humans have been doing since the dawn of civilization.
Majority of the time its true but there are cases where you get camped by the enemy jungler so much that even if you were better than your lane he gets ahead due to you being 1 vs 2 and your jungler afk farming.
It's not weird at all it's basic cognitive bias, many people believe they are better than others, yet most people will revert to the 50% average winrate.
Our mental tendency is to accept the easiest/laziest explanation to resolve internal conflicts. It's easier to blame others than to improve ourselves, we avoid responsibility to resolve dissonance ( this apply outside League as well ). "I'm 0/5/0 because my team is bad" is easier to accept than "i suck".

KDA=/=skill level or even good decision making. It's indicative of opportunistic decision making at best. It is very easy to play for KDA in this game. If you're 4/0 in lane and are not
A.) taking your tower B.) Snowballing your lead to your allies via ganks
than they're probably right. Especially if the 0/4 is an immobile champion who is being both camped and dived repeatedly during laning.
