Players flipping on the troll switch mid game

I've bounced between B3 and S4 for the past few months. I just played a B2 promo game where our bot lane Sivir got super fed early and was wrecking faces. At about 20 min in we lost top turret (had 5% hp) but we got Mountain Drake at the same time. Well our Neeko support thought that was bad on our part to lose the tower, so they began to flame us, calling us r%%%%%s and pussies. He started to ff, say things like "ok I'm done" go into all chat and say "4v5" and "top open" and spent the rest of game afk farming the jungle. Needless to say we lost the game, but whatever. I'm not going to sit here and blame others for my losses, but what the hell is happening with the mid game trolls? It's like a switch flipped in this Neeko's head. I've seen this a few times recently, game is fun, game is competitive, and out of nowhere a player decides to troll. I know there is not much I can do but move on. Anyone else seeing this? Thoughts?

Report, move on. There have been and always will be idiots.

Unfortunately, mute, report, and move on. That's really the best option.

There are no trolls in LoL, only players having a bad game.

Also, hopefully you didn't say anything to this player, bc if you did, you will get banned.

Had a ranked game where a Riven top was like 25/3/10, hard carrying... and then just threw. She'd engage on team fights, we follow her in, she bolts and leaves us to get wiped. We engage with her in close proximity, she bolts. Just suddenly refused to participate in fights and afk farmed jungle. At no point was there any flaming in chat, she just stopped participating. Took about 6 or 7 minutes and 3 team fights before enemy team realized that Riven was no longer a threat and they just took baron and walked it down mid to win.
