How do you guys deal with hate during the game?

So, I’ve just finished a competitive match that was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had in this game. I was playing with 4 other random guys (I am a woman) and they started the match putting really loudly different, weird noises into their mics making it almost impossible to have headphones on (btw RIOT, fix the damn team volume settings!). But excluding that, once they found out I was a girl, the only things I was hearing was how I should uninstall the game, that girls should be allowed near computers (I was second in our team standings btw), that I should stay in the kitchen and make them sandwiches and so on. (They we’re also really homophobic). And now, everyone say, “you should just mute them” yes, I can do that, but I am still playing a competitive match, and between the depressing stuff they were giving a bit of info. Women of this sub - how do you deal with this kind of stuff? I don’t have a high self esteem so my motivation immediately went down. Yes I did report them, but what did that really do if my match was already wasted? Also, this one guy after he died was sending me a ton of party invites he was literally spam sending them) which was lagging my game like crazy. Shouldn’t riot add an option to block this kind of invites? Or there is one but I couldn’t find it? (Thank you for reading till the end, I needed to get this of my chest and sorry for my poor English)
