Why Do I Get Flamed By Feeding Teammates While In Game?

First of all to clear this up I want everyone reading this to know I am bronze so I am not the best player or decision maker. I do however feel like I have the skill of a low-mid silver player.

Recently I went 11/3 on draven. (Feel free to check.) I was the only one on my team with under 10 deaths. They all flamed me saying I should have fought more and I was a pussy. I said they were bad fights but it seems everyone said I was the problem and we lost purely due to me. Except my duo partner obviously.

I know this is just one example but I have had many times where someone doing much worse than me flamed me. Now for my question... I was wondering if you think it is justified to feed and then flame your team for doing, "bad" even if they are doing much better?

Thanks for taking time to read this article. There is a poll that you can answer.

I feel like it's not okay to flame others regardless of how they are doing.

It's never okay to flame. It's shitty sportsmanship, and detrimental to team morale and focus. The only ethical exception would be if the recipient of the flames is objectively trolling, but in that case, flaming them is feeding the troll and actively rewarding the act of trolling, not to mention still against the rules, so just don't do it.

In your situation, you gotta just accept that immature assholes have a tendency to always blame others for their own mistakes. Mute them if they're bothering you, report them if they really cross the line, and just move on with your life otherwise. No need to dwell on it.

If people flame you, Be sure to mute and report them at the end of the game. There is no reason to be flaming if your doing good or bad.

Flaming is ok,because there's nothing bad about it.
