How do you deal?

How do people deal with the constant string of DCs and trolls in ranked?

I primarily play support. Granted, I'm not the best player (I honestly admit I make way too many mistakes).

How do you cope with starting a game with your adc just sitting under tower for the first 3 minutes or your jungler constantly dc'ing? Or people who refuse to make this a "team" game and always strike out on their own, only to be slaughtered moments later, even after pings to fall back, etc?

I get instantly blaming others for the bad fortunes, and not getting better yourself, but game after game it's 4v5, no team fighting ability, or just people that refuse to play "nice."

I'm on full tilt, and I'm honestly looking for feedback on how people have overcome this feeling of winning a game or two in a row and then losing 3-4.

Review the gameplay and think about how to play better, or watch some youtube videos to learn new concepts on how to play better.

hes asking how you are supposed to cope with the frustration. creating the illusion that its any better in higher elo is what keeps players in ranked. it does not get any better in higher elos

you cant control them but they ruin 9/10 games you play win or lose and it sucks the FUN out of the GAME.

having no fun in a game is why people tell you to fuck off when you suggest monopoly

Don't support.
Don't support. Seriously. If you have to support, then play an AP Carry like Brand as support, which is doable until low Platinum. Past that ELO, games are decided too quickly for you to have much of an impact. Once you reach Platinum, just go mid, top, or jungle, every game without exception unless you feel you have a very strong comp or you have an autofill.
Play a 1v9 mid / top champ. Ideally one that can deal damage to tanks and carries both whilst not dying (Most AP mages, and some overpowered picks like Jax or Yi etc)

/mute all, /fullmute all

Well, as often as it happens to you it happens to everyone else. People get DCd it constantly happens to me and I hate it as much as you do. My argument is why riot allows people to hit the leave game button and let it be a 4v5 and still let those in the game suffer a loss. Those in game should be allowed a remake after someone purposefully rage quits and the team comes to an agreement of remaking. Yes punish those who leave but not the ones in game who proceed to get crushed
