I'm tilted and need to rant about Zed and Thresh player's personalities

In advanced I'm sorry about this, I just have to rant because this has been one of the worst moods I've been in, in awhile. So, let me paint you a picture (quiet literally i copy pasted a screenshot and did some fancy paint work with it I hope you love it) and you tell me who's in the wrong. Okay, lets get to it. It's an average game, normal draft (cause I cant stand ranked and I'd rather learn things in norms) I'm in the jungle, my main role, now im not a crazy jungler, but I do my best for the team. So its lookin' like a good game, Zed mid vs Vlad (kinda iffy) Heim top vs Galio (not likin' this either) our bot lane is a Varus and Thresh vs Jinx and Morgana and then theres me, the Kha'zix in the Jungle vs a Kayn. So the game starts, we're doing good, bot is trading, i've picked up a few kills (exchanged words with varus a bit cause he kinda triggered me) so i decide to go somewhere else, I go top. Top isnt gankable (control ward and galio backs up) so I go for the kayns krugs, figured, hey im nearby and can still get farm, so I leave, galio walks back up and hiem engages... He proceeds to die and spam ping me missing... like okay dude. So then I'm like "man i cant go top cause heim is clueless, cant go bot cause they're pushed up and varus kinda made me mad, can't gank mid cause vlad is stupid annoying" so, I sit in my jungle, and kayns jungle, just farming. The game goes on like this for awhile, its normal, i cooled off untill zed kills kayn and gets double buff, comes to my blue buff and takes it from me... it kinda tilted me a bit so I gave him some words. Nothing to harsh just a "dude you have double already why'd you take that" or so. I write it off, decide to ignore it. Then we get to the 35 minute mark and our Varus's power shuts off (i was told by thresh idk if it was true but the guy was gone) and everything goes down hill for me. we're all over the map, the team isnt organized, I decide to back and then the team picks a fight (mind you I typed that i was backing to let them know and i pinged caution) so they all die, and the zed opens up "this jungler is pretty bad tbh" or something along those lines and thresh hums in with some thresh crap. Again I decide to ignore it cause I dont need to let this negativity ruin my night. So its around 40 minutes or something, we take the first baron ,everything goes well and its a good time. We push and they push time goes by and baron comes up again. So this time we decide to do baron with some of the enemy team up (the vlad cause he's annoying and hard to kill) and we're fighting baron ,and he walks up, the team proceeds not to turn on vlad and he W's in and takes it. Now at this point im kinda sad, sure i could have smited but it kinda died from 3k HP cause we had heim and zed on it and i dont think my smite got a buff to 3k hp, so yeah... he takes it. Blah blah the game goes on and zed and thresh are more toxic (along with some stuff from heim) and we're still fighting, we end up losing the game because they got baron and it was a 4v5. Now I had fun, I liked the game. I decided to stay in the lobby for a moment to see what zed would say and see if I could converse with the enemy team a bit. I made a mistake, a HUGE one. Zed and Thresh went off. now I was about to leave the lobby (had to say sorry that i messed up but made sure to tell him he wasnt god tier either, we both made mistakes) and then he hits me with it... the 3 letter acronym that we all love, because he was so tilted i suppose? anyway , that was it for me , because its something that people shouldnt joke about or definitely say to someone out of rage (or at all in general). It honestly just ruined my night, had a good time, then i meet these guys, and man... these guys are something else, I've dealt with negative people (and been negative too aswell i wont like, but nothing EXTREME) and normally it isnt as bad. But man, when there are 2 of them ganging up on you telling you you're trash and other things when you honestly tried ur Fing hardest, its the worst fing feeling, I'm not going to lie. I'll leave a screen shot here, with the names blacked out (terribly) so you can see for yourself. I'm just hoping for some justice and some insight from someone on the outside, maybe I was terrible and am indeed trash, but im pretty sure these guys are in the wrong, either way i just need some backing up and some talkage to get my mind of this tiltness. Thanks in advanced homies, GL on the Rift.

Ah, Can't upload photos... Here's what he said (the short version that triggered me among other things that they said, and yes, they said ALOT) "Worst jungler i've had in awhile, you should think about switching your role, honestly kys" now its that last bit that really ticked me off to a whole nother dimension.

Also heres the match , hopefully I can post it after ranting about them . - http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2570096562/236925781?tab=overview

I will never understand how people can see toxicity on a daily basis from tons of players, but still think it has something to do with the champion they main or vice-versa. Yeah these guys are shining examples of why the league community is largely considered one of the worst gaming communities, and they'll probably end up getting banned eventually, but why bring the champion into it? It's like the riven/yasuo main stereotype. Yes a lot of riven/yasuo mains are toxic. But there's a difference between causation and correlation. The reason (cause) lots of riven/yasuo/zed/thresh/any champion mains are toxic is because there are a lot of toxic players (you mostly only remember the toxic ones anyways) in the league community. The fact that you're seeing toxic zed/thresh mains is just correlation. There are toxic players and some of them play zed/thresh. As far as I know (of course I might be wrong), there's no studies or even significant data that would suggest any specific champion attracts toxic players. Adding to this is the availability bias. There's generally a lot of yasuo/riven hate threads (there used to be anyways), so when people see one of those champions being toxic in-game, it just confirms what they already have in their minds. They see the toxicity, remember one of the threads they read, and think, "huh, this was right, riven mains are toxic." So no, it's not certain champions, it's just the players in general, combined with "these champion mains are so toxic" threads always popping up.
