what could I do in this situation?

honestly, I am not the type of person who gets emotional in games. I would never ragequit a game and leave my team behind while they need me the most. I've never been in this type of situation before and the fact that it happened really put me in perspective of how much this game can give anxiety attacks to a person who could easily get hurt with words or rants coming from someone else.

I went into a ranked game. usually I don't like to play ranked games because of how competitive the game gets. I like to have fun and taking this game seriously will only propagate stress between the team if someone is not doing their part. I consider myself and okay zed player for the rank I am. not many flashy plays but I can defend myself, but this time was different. I went against a Yasuo and lost against him in the first couple of minutes. He was a great player I was amazed how he beat me so easily. as soon as he got first blood my team started to get angry at me. but it'd be good since I thought I could beat him when I respawned, but I ended up getting him another kill. at that moment the whole team collapsed and in all this time I've played league I've never seen that amount flaming and toxic behavior. they just couldn't understand this Yasuo player was way better than me and sometimes you can't win I started playing defensively but at that point it was too late. their jungle had already a few kills ahead and we lost most of the towers in the first 20 minutes. my team was furious. they said things like they wanted to report me and wished me I got cancer and died. and I know I messed up cause I was too confident I would win my lane but I don't think anyone should deserve that kind of treatment. there just wasn't any teamwork. my team isolated me completely. I couldn't even farm because the adc would go into my lane and tell me to stand back so he could get all the cc, the support sold all of his items and bought like three boots, the jungle never ganked me again when we could have turned it around, the top was the only one defending me and telling them they were fucking up. even the opposite team felt sorry for me knowing that I couldn't do anything about it. I felt I was fighting against 9 people instead of 5 and the worst part is I couldn't say a word since it was all my fault for dying in the first minutes twice. I fought as much as I could till the last minute but I couldn't do much. the fact the whole team wished I killed myself put me into a lot of pressure and take wrong decisions. it's true I made a mistake and I have a friend who always tells me that I should look more into how did I do wrong than blaming the team, but I just can't do that in this situation since I was up against the wall and had no way of defending myself.

so my question is what could I do in a situation like this? I'm sorry for the wall of text and I appreciate if someone took the time to read this

thank you

Giving up 2 kills in lane isn't great but it's not going to end the game either. Try to do what you can and understand both your current strength and your enemies' current strength, and ignore what anyone is saying if it's negative or bothering you. If you can't ignore it just mute them and report them when the game is over.

Play the game the best you can and move on. You're not going to win them all, and everyone has a bad game now and then/makes some mistakes. It doesn't excuse your teammates behaviour though, it definitely sounds like they were worth reporting.

Every game is an opportunity to improve, and this is one game where you were behind early. Once you're at that point, remind yourself that you are behind and try to focus on what you can do to get back in the game. It's good practice and might help you in future games, even if you don't win the current game.

You can mute players so you don't have to see their chat! Next to every champion in tab mode is a sound button, and if you press it it'll block all of their chat and emotes. Furthermore, you can actually type the command "/mute @ChampionName" or "/mute @Username" into the chat box. For example, "/mute @Allivgarden" or "/mute @Zed".

  1. never underestimate the enemy. u don't know how good they are until u suss them out right? lane against them for a few mins c how they play, c how good they r at dodging ur stuff, by then if ur confident that ur better than them, then try to kill.

  2. this new patch, one mistake makes it harder to come back. 2 mistakes may well be gg ur lane so just remember this, not dying is better than getting a kill. if u don't die then ur even with ur opponent right? and u can farm or gank other lanes (which puts both u and them ahead)

  3. most of the time when you stuff up, especially in the first few mins of the game, we can all guess that in a community like this someone is bound to flame. when u know it's coming rather than listening to it all, mute ur teammates straight away. u don' t need to hear wot they say it does nothing good but put u off ur gameplay.

good luck

Play Anivia in every role, then you can stand under tower and go 20/0, gg Actually there is basically nothing you can do in this scenario, you might as well buy 6 vision wards
