What are you supposed to do with a toxic 4man?

Let me Preface this.

I was playing draft pick, mid. The enemy banned my only four mid picks that I have actually used. I informed my team of this and said I was going to be playing Veigar for the first time, Fine. Matched up against Kharma which currently wins 63.6% of lane according to Matchup.GG vs Veigar. So dealing with a hard matchup and several ganks by the opponent and not knowing how to play Veigar led me to an early 0-2 which followed by not being supported against 4 opponents diving me under tower. This lead to issues of teammates becoming toxic and feeding each other's toxicity against me. We were losing all lanes and I was the easy target to blame, I understand that I wasn't entirely in the right in my play style but it should be expected. This flaming left to all four of my teammates flaming me, blaming me and a few telling me to kill myself. Just report them right?

The issue I have is at that point the game isn't playable. All four teammates being toxic leads to none of them supporting me in actual gameplay. They are being toxic in chat which is fine for most people but I have a heart condition that is heavily effected by stress and on top of it I have PTSD in regards to an physically and verbally abusive parent which means any form of intense toxicity makes things really bad. Usually if I am playing my main role or my characters I am doing well, I am an average S- support and an A+ mid so I know I am not bad. Where the heart comes into play is that this specific match resulted in enough stress to blackout and wake up with a bruised face. The initial response would be to stop playing but why should I quit a game that I have invested money and enjoy playing when there are no toxic teammates.

When all your teammates are toxic and not supporting gameplay is it fair to leave the match? I know that was a lot and I'm not expecting anyone but myself to fix my problem but I need feedback. I know everyone ends up with a full stack of toxic teammates at some point but in my case it can be very damaging to my health and questionably life threatening. I've got another heart surgery in three months so who knows, maybe it will be fixed then.

Thanks, Daeda

Unfortunately, if you just flat out leave the game you end up getting punished yourself for it, so you'd have to decide which situation you'd rather deal with more.

In the case of this particular game description I personally would have just muted them all (probably both chat and ping) and finished up the game, doing my best to get the handle of a new champ and just have fun.

Mute, play the best you can, report at the end. Nothing else to do, really.
