Just had a game that just demotivated me from playing another.

To be honest, I didn't expect this would happen at all. Everyone seemed really laid back during champion select. That peacefulness ended once I got into game. It was my first time trying out Diana jungle. During the first ten minutes of the game, our mid laner disconnected and once he came back, I focused more on helping him get caught up to the enemy by scaring the enemy away. Meanwhile in the top lane, our Fiora was wrecking the enemy Darius. She asked for my ganks, and once I did gank, she harassed me for missing my Q. I'm still new to landing something like Diana's Q since it's not something like a straight skill shot. And then for the entire duration for the game, our ADC Twisted Fate and Fiora harassed both our mid and me. I barely said nothing in chat, only a few times to stop the others from flaming our mid. I know I may have made some mistakes, and I know that I've learned more about Diana jungle from that game, but having someone there flaming about your every mistake just makes me want to quit League all together. I wish our community was more of a kinder and accepting group of people instead of all this toxicity. I'm sorry, I just needed to let this all out.

The only advice I can give you is to mute players who start flaming and rely on pings for communication. People aren't always going to be like that but I understand and sympathize with you because it certainly sucks when it happens. You did nothing wrong, you helped your teammate as best you could and if 100% accuracy with a skill shot is a thing then they wouldn't be called skill shots. Don't let others bring you down and keep your head in the game as best as you can, even with a pretty terrible situation.

The only thing you can really do in these situations is mute the offending players, report them after game, and perhaps try queuing with other people to fill the gaps thus subjecting you to less randoms that could do this while you learn a champion or role.

I typically only ever try learning a new champion when I'm in a party to avoid this sort of situation.

I do hope your next attempts go smoothly. Diana's Q is certainly wonky to hit, but once you get the feel for the end of the range you'll be hitting so many of them you'll think yourself pro. :)
