People will be rough on noob players (and you likely were playing with "smurf" players too, hence why the insults were thrown around).
Here's the thing though: LoL is noob-friendly, and it helped first-timers (including me, when I started playing LoL a year and 2 months ago) into what the game is about. There's tutorials and stuff out there that will get you started on the sheer basics. Basically help you get off the ground and start flying, per say. And most of the time, you'll be matched up with those who are the same skill level as you too.
At least LoL isn't DotA (the MOBA/RTS game that LoL was inspired from). The community there is NOT friendly to first-timers/noobs. And LoL's strategy of implementing things in-game that help out first-timers is what makes LoL distinct from DotA in terms of being noob-friendly (and of course there's other things different from LoL and DotA, which you'll find out later on)
