I think most of the community is willing to help newbs out. However, the frustration lies where these people aren't listening to the chat and ignoring the advice given.

No. The frustration lies in the fact that people think these people are making them lose combined with the fact that they care about win/loss.
It's really as simple as that. It's not limited to newbies either - You can be a Platinum Wolf with 1000 games, people will still shout at you if they think you are a threat to their precious rating and ego. People simply hate losing and the whole rating process just makes it that much worse because now you can't just mentally wave it away - it's in the numbers. Worse, that guy just destroyed your progress! He deleted your save file! He kicked your sandcastle over! May this son of a motherless ogre step on a Lego! *dramatically shakes fist*
You get the idea.
PvP as such suffers from that issue, because losing is part of the game and as a consequence, PvP games are renown for their toxicity. It doesn't help that many players have "lording their ego over others" as prime motivation to PvP in the first place. That can't be erased - you can only ban repeated offenders and encourage positive behaviour on the player side and attempt to make the win/loss matter as little as possible to give people less reason to be upset on the system side. That's all you can do to minimize bad behaviour.
