MrPervSan got my point. I mean, think a step further.

They don't think "Aw, i know that i play bad now because i am stressed and i don't feel so good, so i better don't play League of i might overreact and maybe become a burden for my teammates".

Instead, they think "Man, what the hell, my girl just left me and i don't know how to pay the rent next month. I wanna escape this shit in my real life. That's it, i got an idea, i go and play some games of League of Legends. I won all the time yesterday, and i really could go for another win. Yea, i go win some games now and at least feel better for the moment".

And then, his bot lane starts feeding. I couldn't blame that guy if he goes ape then.

I personally stopped flaming in all games, and when i only see a TINY HINT of flamers or bad performance i try everything to obviate upcoming flame / snowballing in the wrong direction by calming them and helping them with in-game actions. It increased my win-ratio tremendously.
