Made A Scapgoat Out Of In Ranked?

Why does your team flame someone who either gets caught out once or twice and claim they are "Int Feeding", like seriously. I recently had a game where I admit I wasn't on my best performance but was trying to farm and make an impact. During the game I had what I would call A Troll Support Pick and the player could only flame me for dying once early. Then when my mid laner says "Team?! GO IN!" when I have less than 100 HP and no mana. Yet when I die yet again while trying to get away its my fault. My Troll Support Pick then leaves me to 2v1 in A lane where I am already behind and go top lane. The enemy bot lane leaves, i move up to farm cs, they wrap around and kill me from a combo of slows. As you may guess I get flamed for "Int Feeding". I go back and hug tower, still 2v1 with no help, and get tower dove and die yet again. Yet no one seems to think "man if he had an ACTUAL support to help that didn't leave for top lane it wouldn't be as bad." Got no ganks bot lane, no one really came bot lane to help, they just kept flaming. I try to play safe, try to stay near team and towers, but then they complain that i'm not helping. Again I admit I wasn't doing well, ended 0/5, but that's not how I do in A large majority of my games. Normally I do pretty well. But when i'm getting no help, flamed by A troll support, and being made the reason for us losing when it was a team failure, what am I supposed to do?

People want someone to blame Hitler had the Jews Trump had Hillary Hillary had Trump Poor have the Rich Rich have the Poor

Everyone wants someone to blame as to not be blamed themselves. Human Nature given our current coniditions

I'm usually support, and I don't know why, but every time I'm ADC the support is the most annoying person to be a support. They will fight me for cs, ping '?' every time I die or miss a skillshot, and then when they die they will also ping me '?' and probably throw in a 'troll adc' comment or two. They will flash for kills I can easily get. Obviously I'm support usually so I don't care about kills, but I do care about wasting skills that have long cooldowns (Flash) when I could have easily gotten the kill, and messing up both our cs is not helping anyone.

It also seems to happen that if I have a troll support, the whole team tends to 'agree' with them. One comment about 'troll adc' from the support and suddenly the whole team is against me. Even if I calmly explain what actually happened they rather listen to the person throwing a tantrum.

odds are, these players know you aren't inting, however they are engaging in a behavior known as flamebaiting, or trying to get you to react toxicly in chat for the purpose of getting you banned, it's a common behavior especially in bronze
