Toxic vs Trolling?

So I want to hear the community's thoughts on this. This occurred to me last game and made me think. The warwick on my team forgets to take smite as a jungler. Some might say "oh he made a mistake", but he could've simply not connected and allowed his team to remake. Instead he decides to go dual top and as a top laner which was me, i had no reason to put up with this. So yes, I was salty about the situation. What did my team say? "oh he just forgot smite, what choice does he have?" Turns out i'm in a game w/ 3-man group which ofc includes WW. So they tell the enemy team i'm the toxic and flaming bastard and WW is the poor scapegoat.

So I want to pose a question. Sure, this one may seem kinda questionable whether he truly "trolled", but if some1 did indeed troll you, are u "justified" in being salty about it? This has been brought up before, but if a player is flaming and toxic, you can mute them. But I can't make someone play seriously and stop trolling. Any thoughts are welcome :)

You are justified of being salty, but not justified of typing salty chat. Considering there are 4 people that have to listen to you being salty.

I would report him tho and ask why he is on my lane. If they start trowing accusations, I report them too.

if he didn't feed and played you have nothing to say, adapt to the situation play at your best that's all you have to do win or loss. end of story

There is no context that excuses toxic behavior. Nobody is taking your keyboard and typing for you, and if they have to mute you then you have already had a negative impact on their game.

You are allowed to be as salty as you want to be, but just keep it out of the game.
