Jungling & Toxicity
Hello, I am currently trying to get gold in solo q so I have gold in all ladders since I've heard somewhere you get a special reward at end of season if you have all ladders in gold or higher. I mainly play jungle, but I'm considering to quit jungling completely at least in games where I'm not running full premade.
The reason for this is that whenever I'm in a solo q game as a jungler and an enemy jungler ganks first and succeeds in the gank, I instantly get flamed by my teammates for not being there or not ganking enough. I like to farm the jungle quite a bit at least until I hit level 6 on most champions, I admit it is rare that I gank pre 6 (depending on the champ ofc) and that is mainly because I feel like I get so much value out of the jungle clears early on, xp advantage etc.
If we after this point in a game go on to lose the game I nearly always get the blame for it from my teammates and they say they're gonna report me and encourage the opponent team to report me as well.
It's very common that in these games the team flames me all game and go around stealing camps im doing, I just don't know how to play well under such circumstances and frankly the game isn't very enjoyable then either. I wouldn't be making this thread if this was a rare thing to happen but it is actually happening very frequently in my solo q games.
So, what can I do? Do I have to mute my entire team whenever I play solo q? Do I have to change my playstyle completely into something I think is inferior? Am I a slave to my team? Can I get banned for playing the game in my own way?
Please send help, I'm slowly dying on the inside.
