Whats With the Whole "Blame One Person Who Did Nothing Wrong So The Rest of You Can Be Excused"?

A lot of games i play where our team is losing I find that the team just chooses 1 person to blame for everything and then tells everyone to report that one person even though they may have done nothing wrong. We had a Shyvana jungle trying to get ahead in farm and get sated devourer faster to be more impactful in fights and our team just went "Shyvana troll feeder never ganks pls report shes the reason we're losing this" when in reality every lane (including myself) was losing and she was just trying to farm and maybe be able to turn it around. I really find it strange that people can't accept that they lost lane and the entire team decides on one person to blame for everything, and that person takes a lot of hate from both teams. What makes it worse is that when 4 people say report one person the enemy team usually says ok yeah even though they have no evidence for why you should report that person

Emotional immaturity. Annoying but nearly ubiquitous. Good luck out there.

People find it hard to admit that they do idiotic things sometimes, they don't like to think that they are the reason why they lose. It's human nature. When they blame someone, it makes themselves feel better because they think that it's not their fault.

This is a very common trait. RookCauldron's post is spot on. But it seems that most people today just want someone to blame. They don't want to improve or fix what wasn't working. They just want to blame someone.

This happens every game I have a jungler who's strat is to power farm and not gank lanes pre 6+. Any lane(s) that fall behind whether it be to being outplayed 1v1, 2v2 or getting ganked, always put the honus on the jungler for not ganking and it turns into a complete shitfest from there. As mentioned above, people adamantly refuse to take responsibility for their errors in LoL.
