How do you keep people positive when you're a jungler?

Getting a little annoyed in solo q, no matter how well I do in jungle anybody who is losing lane blames me. I don't really care and I usually just ignore them but they get mad, constantly rage in all chat, etc. They spend more time typing and raging than actually playing the game, as a result they play much worse, feed more and since they're feeding more they rage more and the cycle continues.

I try to calm my team down and keep them positive, but they just blame me and think I should "stfu" because it's my fault... One example: I'm sorry irelia, I couldn't gank at level 2 with zac and there's not much I can do when a renekton is 2/0 by 4mins but if you try to bait him under your turret..."Stfu you're retard, all I need is a gank it's free kill". Even though I knew my strength compared to a fed renekton early game, I ganked anyway and she died, but I was blamed for "having no damage and being useless". I'm not the one 0/3 at 8mins...(I didn't say this, I just ignored her at this point).

If the blame isn't on me then I can usually help keep someone positive, but if they're blaming me for it they just rage even more when I try.

So my question is, how can you keep your team calm and positive even when the blame is on you?

Actually, you don't need to keep the people positive. You can't keep them all in a good mood, trust me, I tried and all I got from them was "stfu", "don't tell me what to do noob" xD If you have kids that rage in your team, especially in the champion select, you better get an assassin jungler, like Rengar and carry the game by yourself. Take as much kills as you want and mute everyone if you need to. There's a lot of negative players, especially in low elo and a lot of boosted players in high elo, so they will ruin games daily. Nothing special, just ignore them, give the best you can and hope for a victory. You can't win all games, but if your winrate is constantly below 50%, then it means maybe you have a problem, not the teammates. Just sayin'. Good luck on the rift! Hope I helped you with those little pieces of advice.

Main Amumu. If you play him, and ask for people to play passive until Level 6, you can use that as a fall back if your laner gets pissed at you.

I just keep chugging along man. I CONSTANTLY lie to myself. I just think "it's not that my teammates are worse than their laners its just that I need to personally carry all of their lanes while outfarming the other jungler" I think this the ENTIRE game and it usually works out. I think in my last 200 jungle games I have probably won 120 of them. In my last 200 jungle non rengar games probably like 135. I'm addicted to Rengar, but i'm so bad at him.
