Is there some kind of toxic trail right now?

Every damn game I play I get a team full of rage. Plummeting further down, soon to be bronze aain, and my mmr is so low I'm placed with bronze 4 and 5. I mean, I cant even start to play the game without being harassed for A) My jungle pick isn't meta enough for them (by that I mean champion.gg tier lists) B) Me telling them to ward gets backlash, when they get ganked they tell me wards do nothing anyway and it's my fault they got ganked. C) They fed the enemy jungler because they refuse to acknowledge his presence in the game and now he's outperforming me. D) They slept with my mom so I'm bad at League. Now I understand that I may have not been as aggressive early game, preferring to gank and farm rather than gank, gank and gank. But is this really the only playstyle that won't get teams quitting on you? But they're basically defeating themselves. They're sometimes allowing themselves to be ganked JUST to tell me how bad I am at jungling. I ping when I see the enemy jungler coming and I'm topside where they're botside... they keep pushing into the turret, TOTALLY disregarding my pings. And then they die. And proceed to tell me it's my fault.

It's not that I'm arguing about, it's that if you don't pick the top 5 champs for jungle on op.gg or whatever it is you get teams that try and sabotage your ganks just to tell you they suck. Like I gank as ww and use ult, and nautilus dances under his tower and cait stands there. Not because they thought it was an unsafe gank, not because i was ganking out of position. Simply because they don't want to assist me as a jungler and try and win with a pick they deem as trash.

I highly recommend playing a jungler you can 1v1 well with and invade their jungle with. The first couple that come to mind are Shaco and Shyvana. Both are mobile enough they allow you to take exhaust or smite, thus giving you even stronger 1v1 potential. At least if you're using a champion like those you can reduce their jungler's effectiveness some ;)

A broader question is: Am I tilting or have I not adjusted to the new "meta"? Because I was playing ww just fine last season.

I'm a very anti-meta player and one thing I've definitely noticed is that if you play a champion people aren't used to seeing, other teammates tend to troll or do dumb shit because they assume the game is over before it started. It's really lame. I love stuff like twitch jungle and velkoz jungle but 8/10 games I pick those champs my team assumes it's a troll pick so they in turn troll.

I hate saying it but you're probably better off just playing the meta if you expect to climb. The only "off-meta" jungler I've had good success with recently is Nasus(maxing E).

And I highly recommend not talking back when people rage at you. It happens at ALL ELOS. Just ignore them or mute them and play. When you talk back/argue everyone plays worse.

I found myself in a similar position as I fell from Silver 1 60LP to Silver 2 40LP. At this point I knew it wasn't going to get better today and accepted that I was going to fall further due to these fools. As such I ensured they would also fall by taking unnecessary risk for little reward. Felt sooo good. But now I have to begin my climb again from Silver 3 18LP

Yes, I'm a dick. But only to those who are being dicks.
