How to Deal with Toxic Players?

Basically, I'm a bronze jungle main who loves playing gragas. My win rate on him is around 64% and typically I do well. However for the first time in a while, this morning I had an awful game which started slow, and finished slow. It all started when the leona on my team leashed too hard and took half my exp, which led to a slow clear start with an earlier B than usual. For the next 15 minutes I farmed and ganked when i could and I was something like 0/0/2. The enemy jungle was 1/2/2. At this point the Cho gath on my team started calling me retarded and etc. Vayne soon joined in when i made a bad decision soon after to engage in a 1v2 (vayne was further behind than I had thought). Basically I was playing poorly and the verbal abuse coming from my team wasn't helping.

I've always had poor self esteem so stuff gets to me easier than it should.

anyways, I was wondering how you guys deal with toxic players from effecting your game? I tried to mute them but that makes communication so much harder, and i feel drastically lowers the chance of winning.

TLDR: people are mean and I'm self conscious what do I do

Muting may be an option, but you are right about communication. I think that you should just act extremely nice. They have nothing to flame if you don't fight back. Just say my bad and go back to playing. This should make comebacks come more often. That is if you want your team to win at all.

Personally I choose not to deal with them. I mute toxic people and just keep playing. They will do whatever it is they do regardless of anything you say, so you might as well not talk to them.

No sense worrying about something that is out of your control, right?

I have the same problem except i always have the urge to fight back for some reason... If someone is verbally abusing me i try muting them but then unmute them and fight back... I dont know why

The second someone says anything remotely close to insulting I simply mute them. Then, I'll pretty much just use smart pings to indicate my decisions/movements, etc.

As someone who only jungles in unranked Ive gotten this a few times. I usually mute them and that usually helps, few occasions they just ping me non stop. And what I do will probably get downvoted here, but I just alt tab and play minecraft. I play league for fun not to be raged on.
