Toxic people in normal games- what makes you tick?

I've been playing a lot of normal games lately. I've also been encountering A LOT of toxic players lately. They flame for no good reason, and continuously flame the entire game. They're players who are generally rated around silver-low gold max, and often make an insane number of mistakes, yet they spend the entire game flaming and typing about 1 or 2 mistakes they saw a teammate make.

So I can at least somewhat understand toxicity in ranked games. There's a lp and rank on the line, it makes sense to naturally get invested in the game. However, in normal games? How can you get so upset over an inconsequential game that you harass your teammates instead of actually playing the game? Is it just impossible for people to look at themselves and see their own mistakes?

When I play normals, I expect everyone around me to play at a lower level. But ignorance when I tell you what to do and you intentionally don't play to your best out of spite is where I draw the line.

I get pretty toxic when ppl just do the dumbest stuff ever I’ll give u an example

So ppl play normals to have fun or to practice champs right?

Well ppl always use the “I’m new to a champion” card to defend themselves inting which yea I don’t expect u to win lane and maybe feed or die a bit too. But come on I’ve had so many ppl just do the craziest shit like go in 1v5 and then they say “I’m new to this champion” like no jumping into a 1v5 isn’t a particular champion mechanic it’s just game sense.

Another reason I get “toxic” in norms is when ppl just straight out feed, listen I can have fun in a losing game just at least that I know my team tries but then in norms I sometimes get morons who feed the game and yea it’s norms ffs ITS STILL UNFUN TO PLAY AGAINST A FED ENEMY TEAM

These are just personal experiences playing norms a lot
