Team keeps blaming me for their mistakes. (TL;DR at bottom)

I recently reached gold before the reset. Right now I'm looking to place in gold right as the season starts. However, I'm currently dealing with teammates who keep blaming each other rather then themselves. In addition, each player (after losing early game) instantly give up hope or get extremely angry (toxic).

Example 1: (Main Jinx ) I'm sitting in the ADC role just realizing that the enemy team is fed. So what do I do? Farm (last hit) and ward our tri bush and/or nearest lane bush. I have no idea where the enemy team is, so I signal missing players, but I get ganked anyway, and I die. This is my fault because I'm currently not mechanically good enough nor was I map aware.

Right after my first death, my teammates type to me (as if this is going to help me play better) "Dumbass, you suck, stop feeding noob, uninstall... (etc)"

During team fights, I usually target enemies who are closest to me when no peel is available. Which in their perspective is "wrong".

Example 2: (Main Sejuani ) I'm in jungle doing my up most best to level up and get as much gold as I can to gank other lanes. I look up and first blood was given to the enemy team mid lane. Our mid types "GG. I give up."

I go to gank other lanes (when I believe that I have a good and safe opportunity to do so). Mid lane is currently behind but continues to go on the aggression like she/he's at a black friday sale at Walmart. Mid continues to blame me for not warding or ganking her/his lane. I simply tell her, "I can't." or "He's too strong at the moment." or "We will handle it later."

In the mean time I'm getting reported on their end.

I need some advice here....

Currently At 1 Win 1 Loss solo que placements.

TL;DR Teammates feed and blame me or really try to undermine me as if it will help. Any advice

To be fair, especially on Jinx who is quite immobile until kills start happening, if you are sitting alone bot and they know you are alone, you stand a great chance of getting dived. Sometimes, once middle game hits, it's safer to put the mid laner bot and keep the ADC mid lane where the lane is shorter, whic makes farming up easier.

It is hard to give any good advice to you about this problem. I think that you just have to realize that the start of season is very stressful for players and that toxicity is correlated with stress. It doesn't excuse toxicity, but if you want to look at things in practical terms, then you have to simply realize that there is going to be an elevated level of stress (and therefore toxicity) while players are playing their placement matches. Whether or not the outcome of the game is "your fault" or not, you will probably do best if you simply focus on your game and the things that you have control over. Don't lose sleep if you are harassed, don't be afraid to mute players if they are negative, and don't feel compelled to defend your actions to them in game as if you are on trial. They can't report you for being "unskilled" and even if they could, it wouldn't mean anything.

TL;DR Mute, report, and move on.

On the bright side if you lose, your mmr drops, you'll end up playing against low mmr players, and you get to stomp them ~

...then again you're more likely to run into troll teammates if you're stuck in lower division...

No advice but you can feel a bit better that this made me LOL because of how true it is when people are behind...

Mid lane is currently behind but continues to go on the aggression like she/he's at a black friday sale at Walmart
