Reminded of why I quit

I stopped playing LoL in 2016. I recently decided to give it another chance. On my very first game back on SR, I was reminded of why I quit.

We were winning a match coming out of the laning phase, but all throughout it the top had been yelling at the jungler about how he wasn't "jungling hard enough", despite everyone's attempts to get him to stop. Jungler was doing fine BTW; the top was just upset his completely unwarded and horribly pushed out lane kept getting ganked. With a 10 kill and 2 tower lead, the Jungler finally got fed up and left the game. The top then declared how it was good riddance and we were all trash for not also ragging on the junlger. And then the top quit. So an easy victory almost instantly became a crushing defeat (we surrendered as soon as possible when down 4 towers and 13 kills in the 5v3) all because one person was so toxic he drove another person to quit.

This is exactly the kind of thing that lead to me quitting in the first place.

I've been in plenty of games, both before and after league, including competitive games, where this kind of thing never happened. It's not "because internet". That's just an excuse to not do anything to fix it.

Which games because I have played shit tons too, all of them have varying amounts of toxicity and salt.

It’s also not a fully fixable problem.

Were they single-player games?

Everyone gets these kind of games. It happens. Best thing you and your team can do is just ignore him. Play as if it's 4v5 or even use that teammate as bait. Muting works or just be overly positive.
