How do I teach myself to NOT TYPE? [Help]

DarkHeadgear·4/17/2017, 2:22:33 PM·5 votes·4,754 views

I have been grinding out ranked games and I have been doing above average (A- grade on average?) but I feel like typing is really getting in the way of my performance. I use chat to try to motivate teammates with simple "we got this" and shot calls and summoner timers but I'm having trouble controlling myself with negative people. I never initiate any negative comments but as soon as someone goes "this team is f***ing useless" I get emotional and start typing back when I shouldn't.

I shouldn't type like this but I find it hard to stop myself. I know it's the wrong choice but I can't stop myself in-game.

Any tips? Please?

Don't be afraid to just mute them and move on at the first hint of outright negativity. League games are too short to worry about the nay-sayers, just focus on the parts of the game that you have direct control over, like YOUR gameplay, and YOUR mentality. Make each game a quest to better yourself instead of a quest to win, and even the losses can feel like victory.

Personally, nerfguns. if i feel the urge to engage with a Toxic F Lux ing Ashe hole , i pull out my Maverick I i put a nerf round into the side of my head. Then i finish the game. I'm not suggesting that it makes any sense. I'm just saying it works for me. Find something that works for you, a stressball, a target on the wall next to you into which to mash your face. Basically some semi-violent catharsis that you can achieve in a couple seconds & then move on; Maybe start with bubble wrap.

It's funny cause I recently found out that I'm not the only person that does this but you should just reply to them out loud.

Put your head set on just in case your roommate or whoever is around that way they think you're actually cursing someone out instead of being a bat shit loon.

Basically it works like this:

You read some fat piece of shit sperglord's "team is retarded" comment.
You say out loud "Fuck you fat fucking (expletive of choice)"!
Mute that person and give them the "?" whenever they die.
Rinse repeat until the entire team is muted.
Honor anyone who wasn't a fuck boy at the end of the match.
Report the dog shit out the rest.

There's a way to unbind your enter key. That could help. Or just try muting everyone.

The best thing to do is improve your mentality. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but it is the best long term solution. You have to learn to not tilt and do your best in spite of what is going on. In the meantime, what you can do is say it out loud (just not in chat) if you must say it, or type it and then his escape instead of enter so it doesn't go through.

Play your best and try to carry. If you play bad but your teamate is super fed try to help him carry. If your teamates are being negative mute. If you are fed tell your team what to do and that if they want to win they need to let you carry.

Disable the Enter key in league with the Windows API. It works well for me. You can still surrender. Remake votes require an alt-tab & ahk exit though.

You can run this AutoHotKey file: https://pastebin.com/raw/QWChyCHa

And it's been officially condoned by a Riot employee in another thread.

You can also set a Windows Firewall Outbound Rule for Remote Port 5223 if you don't want to see the pre/post-game chat.

As soon as you start hearing the voices in your head telling you to pursue vengeful compensation in the form of typing your wrath into the keyboard. Go back to base, step away from your keyboard, curl up into a ball, cover your ears, cry, and try to convince yourself that you're not insane. https://i.giphy.com/AxbbXPNIOuf1m.gif

Go into your UI setting and turn the chat ratio all the way down. You will basically not even be able to read the box
