What tilts you more? Team mates with bad mechanics? or Team mates with bad macro?

Just wondering what makes other people rage in ranked games. Personally I have been raging a lot lately at people who have just zero macro strategies or ignore shot calls when they should be obvious. "3 people top chasing singed who is pinging infernal... eh lets do gromp." "Entire team keeping singed off of an inhib? Still too dangerous to 4 man baron"

Neither!

Play the game, focus on yourself, and stop looking for things to blame or control other than yourself

I tilt when bot decides to instant lock someone they were not hovering on and clashes completely with my support setup.

To the people saying to just focus on yourself and improve, this is true for a while, definitely. But you will eventually get to a point where you never find yourself saying "I don't know what to do" and instead you start saying "I know exactly what I need to do but my team mates don't." At that point the next level of improvement is to learn and understand what other people should be doing and if they can do it in that scenario aka start shot calling. This leads to me tilting over macro because if I shot call something obvious and my team mates decide krugs is > baron, i just start facepalming.

I dont rage. I rarely tilt but if I manage to mess up hard enough it can happen. I cant control what other people do but I can control how much I improve.

Macro knowledge. I can forgive "Mechanics" because we all make mistakes and as someone who plays skill shot champions, I am not going to flame on how one missed stuff. Macro knowledge gets to me a lot because LoL is a strategy game and when the enemy groups in 5, it is easy to deal with them, but no. All 5 of the enemy appears top to get our top laner, let's not do Elder Drake. 5 of the enemy team appears bot, let's not do baron very quickly while the there chasing whoever.

Idc for bad mechanics, mines are terrible as well. But for the love of god I rage so hard when teammates start doing senseless stuff... We just got an ace and we are 1/2 hp, better recall then baron or turret, or even better let's go steal a birds camp. We just took an inhib after an ace and we are 1/2 hp with ultis down, let's stay farm in enemy base when enemy team is spawning in 5. "enemy team has slain baron" better go facecheck the pit alone. stuff like that really drives me nut

Actually tilting? nothing really. We're all humans and I do mistakes too. My mechanics are sometimes godlike and sometimes just poor. So is my macro play. I can't possibly be mad at someone for the same reason when I'm no better. I learned that over the years playing the game.

But to be honest, if I had to choose from a teammate with good mechanics and a teammate with good macro, I would pick the one with the better macro.

It's better to have 5 people there even if my teammate doesn't have good mechanics.

Bad Macro for sure! An Ahri missing the 5th E - Ok, ok, we can deal with that. A JGL getting caught the 5th time trying to push a NexusTower through an open inhib lane when it would be a free Baron... THAT IS TILTING! (And next to unwinnable)

It makes no sense raging over elements you have no control over. You can only control yourself and succumbing to anger is one of the easiest ways to lose at anything.

I tilt much more when my team has poor coordination and macro play. We see the enemy adc solo splitting top and they all insist on going to stop him when we only need one.

When people, play poorly and don't even let themselfes get carried. I dont care if people lose lanes, perhaps they tried to make a play and it backfired, or maybe multiple jungle ganks and pressure, or a bad match up. What really tilts me, is when they get destroyed in lane and if that wasnt enough keep making poor decisions for the rest of the game , as if they are trying to lose.
