When did people become so sensitive?

Well I was just playing a game over league of legends when I came across a Cho'Gath attack speed with ghost jungler. At first I was ok... but whatever let him do what he wants I guess. Quickly turns into an annoying game so we surrender at 20. But then I get this guy again however this time I ask him why he was trolling me. This person then got "offended" and said I was flaming. I was like "You can't be serious?" . After a while I ignore this person since I thought that he or she was trolling but she/he kept bringing it up. Then I just "tried" to explain that he/she was maybe being overly sensitive. Which he/she still saw me "flaming" him.

I found this to be an annoying experience and legitimately hope I do not play with this person again. But be real with me was I out of place? because been finding a lot of these "hipster break the meta" people that build some of the counterproductive items. I feel like this person was very selfish and was not very helpful for the team.

My other question is can there be an option for reporting people we believe are trolling?

People have always been overly sensitive. But its only in the last 10ish years that some people are getting it into other people heads they are entitled to everything and anything they want and wont be punished because acting like a spoiled brat is okay because they wont be punished for it. When someone doesnt give you what you want they are bullying you and should be punished by someone who has no context of the situation beyond the immediate circumstances they did not even witness themselves to know what really happened.

Because Mommies and Daddies have been coddling their children for the last couple decades telling them that they are special instead of teaching them about the real world. Unaware child goes into the real world and gets a rude awakening that could have been prevented by honest parenting.

Unsportsmanlike behavior is the best option for reporting someone that is trolling. And if they die a lot you can also do a feeding report along with it.

And also people started becoming more offended because it's America in 2016 were everyone(Or at least almost everyone) is offended by everything.

Sometimes you are going to lose games because people are stupid. That's just apart of the variance in competitive games.

However, never surrender. People are going to do stupid builds and be bad in general, but your opponents are, on average, just as bad and stupid. You can beat them, on average, with your personal game play, given you are more skilled than your opponents.

You will also lose games when your opponents are better than you. And sometimes you will win games because your opponents FF even when they could have easily won if they tried. Don't focus too much on one specific game because you will likely forget about it tomorrow.

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but my point is if you want to win games then you need to focus on yourself because that's what you have control of.

I just think there needs to be a better way for Riot to differentiate between a Troll , people playing the "victim" and people that simply do not understand the game because I feel I didn't in anyway even tried to insult this person yet they felt the need to say I was flaming? He also mentioned that I was a Meta slave so I assume he at least knows what I am getting at and that was "we as a team needed a tank" not some guy running face first into the team with less hp, armor and magic resist than our support and adc.

The amount of face-palming I did each time I tried to form a conversation with logic it was countered with them playing the victim. I understand that invocation is a good thing for league but I find it really hard to believe Cho'gath attack speed at 0-10 kda is anything but helpful for the team. I feel like my time spend playing is greatly diminish my experience.

Edit: and not to beat a dead horse here but I feel people simply do not understand regularly how well they may or may not have done with that build if you still lose then that build is a failure then wouldn't that make sense? Not "Ok but I still did the most damage" but if you die instantly and we lose how is that "ok".
