New players getting harassed constantly

As a new player I am finding there is a very difficult learning curve. i have played countless numbers of "normal" matches and do relatively well, but when i get into competitive, its a completely different game. how everything works is completely different and is much different. as a new player im finding that the community is extremely toxic to newer players and is turning me off the game. i really enjoy league but i feel there needs to be more done about other players harassing me throughout the game and even leaving me alone and refusing to help me in my lane. they leave me in lane and refuse any help and when i die from the enemy jungler ganking me then its my fault and im feeding... please would like a developer or very eperienced player to help me out. i feel everything i do is wrong even though im palying like i do in normals i get stomped and harassed very often. keep in mind i do pretty well in normals but ranked is a much different story. im currently low bronze and people are reporting me for "inting" and other things when im not purposely trying to do any of those things. is losing lane and being new a bannable offense? i cant even make it through a single game without being told to uninstall and calling me names for the whole match. these people are losing the company money guaranteed by allowing this type of behavior and with it being so common there needs to be more action done. will continue to play and try my very best but it gets very old with all the toxicity. please look into this. action needs to be taken. sincerely, every new player trying to get into this game

you can easily /mute all and still communicate through pings. if you know someone who's a veteran and willing to teach you you can get on voice comms and play with them. playing with friends makes the game far more enjoyable.

Tbh I've got no sympathy anymore for bad players, old or new. I get it, the toxicity sucks. But let's be real, here. This is a team game, where it's been proven time and time again that one bad player can lose the game. When someone is trying their hardest to win, only to be held back by a single bad player, that shit is painful. My only advice for you is to tune out the toxicity, take construction out of criticism, and get better. There are tools for getting better lol I believe in you. You can do it.

OP asked how to mute a single person here is how: you hold down the tab button and then you find 3 tiny symbols which if you hover over them show you what they mute. chat pings and i think stickers? either way thats how you mute single people.

many people say its ppl that lost their main acc, but thats wrong to a certain extend. i started playing the game in early season 2 and back then it was the exact same as it is today.

just mute them and youre good to go. if riot would punish you for playing bad, they wouldnt have created iron tier. unless they are going to permaban all people that end the season in iron, which they wont lol
