How to fight the blame game?

I never know how to deal with toxic people who keep messing up and then blame someone else.. especially when they are blaming me. Ignoring them doesn't seem to stop their toxicity and they just continuously tilt and continue to make even more mistakes. How do you guys deal with this?

Just as an anecdotal example, I just finished a game with a Nasus who was losing badly top lane to a Darius. He lingered in his lane at VERY low health and then the enemy jungler came in and finished him off ~lvl 4. I went top lane and ONLY last hit 2 minions and that's when it began... he told me I ruined his game taking his farm blah blah. I said to him "I only last hit, you're doing fine" then told him I'd come gank top after my next b.

I went to gank top after my next b and pinged a lot, he went in and then when I came in I ulted and Darius quickly dropped to ~10% hp. Nasus never ulted during that time period so he didn't contribute much damage, and Darius got away. I didn't say anything, but then Nasus lingers in lane at low hp until the enemy mid comes up and kills him, and then immediately starts yelling at me and telling me not to come top anymore.

So I didn't come top anymore because I figured it'd just tilt him further, but then he found different things to blame me for. My whole team was feeding and I'm the only one who ended positive and w/ most damage on team, but Nasus still continued to blame me for the loss even after the game.

I just have no idea how to cool down players like this and it is basically a guaranteed loss. Any advice that has worked for you?

You need to be above the hate and anger, always remember its a game, and whatever they are saying or doing should never effect you

I've lost 12 of my last 13 matches. The constant verbal abuse, afks, intentional feeders, just doesn't end in low bronze. But Rito bans people for being unskilled bronze V. Don't expect any fairness or justice from Rito in dealing with any of this.

you fight it by not fighting it. if you want, just say "same" or something of that like every time someone blames or insults you. or ignore them, but i'm not innocent enough for that :^)

We had a vayne that at level 3 died, and proceeded to tell everyone "GG, FF at 20, this game is over". I could've muted her, but instead decided to try to encourage her. It was ridiculous, a grown man telling probably another grown person that "you're fine, just farm up when you can, i'll try to help you guys when i can." and "Hey, it's cool, we got this, just group with us vayne, we'll protect you"

It was basically 30 minutes of babysitting, but in the end paid off. Yes, it's silly, and no, we shouldn't have to do it every game, but it's what some people need. I only really started playing ranked this season and it amazes me the amount of people will call GG at first blood. You just have to encourage a lot and attempt to get the team on the same page.

my reccomendation. try ass kissing at least at first. maybe theyre right. even if they are going about it the wrong way. many of these "blamers" are sick and tired of having every single one of thier pings ignored. or not having been ganked once ect. if this tactic doesnt work. they are probably trolling by deliberatly sabotaging teamwork. and your best bet is to mute. ive been on both sides. and the worst mistake i see people make is when someone is on tilt they try to provoke them. throw them to the Warwick Kindred or do things that put people on worse tilt then they are already. when something as simple as ganking thier lane just to boost morale would have fixed it
