Serious question, how do people not get upset AT ALL when team plays like "special" people.

I know I'm different than a lot of people, but I've always been competitive in soccer, football, games.. really anything played with other people. I watch some of Voyboy's stuff and he just seems so calm as his team feeds 1-8 doing the same stupid crap and then yelling at each other. I tend to get extremely frustrated when people do "their own thing." To me, it's like there is something that seems so obvious to me that everyone should be doing-- not to mention it being pinged 18 times-- but others are just not aware of it or don't care.

For example, had a really really fed Riven last game after I kicked mid lane's butt, and Riven was solo pushing top about to get our inhibitor turret and inhibitor. We had killed 2 people, and I start pinging our top and for others to help kill this Riven or save our inhibitor at least. The top laner who fed her out of her mind and was pretty useless comes, and I was not very fed and didn't have a ton of damage so I'm sitting here tanking her and kiting her for what seemed like a minute and a half and literally our Vayne just sits mid, farms 3-5 creeps, then sits in base waiting for gold for an item while she waxes us. No one else on the team even moves until we're both dead. I just don't get it and it pisses me off. I know that particular play didn't cause us the loss, but fuck we need some teamwork to even have a chance.

TL:DR; How do you not get frustrated at the people that play this game?

It's not about being frustrated, it's about being SO frustrated that you rage and cuss out teammates, then dwell on the game afterward. Everyone gets frustrated (i assume) but i dont think its that hard to shake it off, ignore that it happened, and start fresh next game.

IDK really :( I just, I just focus on what I can do, in the game. If I see an opportunity for me to help a teamate make a goal, I do it... if it seems that I need help to accomplish a goal, and no one is coming to help, I try to think of something else I can do. if I feel useless in a particular game, I try to think about what has happened, is there something I could've done early to prevent this from happening, y'know foresight? and knowing that I am thinking about how I can improve my next game, helps me not get upset with the current one.

That title tho.

No offense, but you might be a bit of an ass. I'd rather have a friendly feeder than a pro rager on my team any day, especially if the latter thinks it's okay to use disabilities for gameplay comparisons. That's just childish and immature to the extreme.

If you can't understand why I feel that way, then maybe you should stick to PvE games and not deal with other people.

For me, I don't really feel frustrated if I'm going into the game to see how well I can do personally. If I go in with the mindset that I want to learn the champion and see how well I can do in the game with them, then if I lose, I don't care as much. If you go in with just wanting to win, then you will be incredibly frustrated if you don't actually win or feel like you are losing. So even if I want to win, if I start losing, I start thinking about how I'm doing and what I can/could do in the current game to try and pull off a win. Besides, playing a losing game has the benefit of you playing a more aggressive then you usually would because you really have nothing to lose.
