Need Help In Actually Reforming

reformed adc btw·6/20/2018, 3:04:47 PM·1 votes·907 views

This season has been really frustrating. Recently I got chat restricted (5 games) and yesterday again (25 games). I know I earned them, I'm not looking for sympathy. I think T1 hit the nail on the head when he said league is super frustrating this season but it's so addicting at the same time.

I've never had this issue of being so toxic until this season and I think it comes from the constant changes and having to consistently adapt. Also the matchmaking seems to be super weird, i.e: me losing lane and getting carried, versus me stomping and team being unable to contribute.

I'm trying to reform and to become a better teammate. I'm tired of constantly tilting from the plays I see and then winding up flaming teammates.

Any advice you can give me?

Find someone to duo with and get on discord with them. Never type unless it is "gg" "unlucky" "gj" or baron calls or something, but you can ping for most things

This doesn't have anything to do with LoL in particular, but as somebody that used to have anger issues I found that it's better to just constantly release a little steam at a time. With LoL it's best to do this by just speaking whatever it is you want to say out loud, rather than throwing it into chat and spiraling the game further downwards with negativity.

Alternatively, you could just wait til you finally hit 'fuck it' to settle things. It's kind of an ambiguous thing since everybody has a different breaking point, but once you've hit that point you really just don't care enough to rage. Waste of energy, it's not going to change anything for the better, but it will get you in trouble if you do it, so you just don't. Logic that stuff out rather than letting the emotion take over.

I agree with you that this season is in fact more frustrating than the other seasons. I'm gold as well and the matchmaking sucks, I win lane lose game, lose lane win game. I suggest muting people if they're annoying or just try and relax when people mess up because it happens to everyone. I was really toxic before even getting a few accounts banned but I'm better now.

Everyone rages, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. The difference is in what you do when you get upset. If you're always looking to find fault in others you will likely get permabanned. Instead if you try to focus on what you can do yourself thenyou won't have a need to type inc hat and riot can't ban you. The downside to doing this is that you can tilt hard.

Staying out of ranked will help. If Normals are still too frustrating, hit up ARAM.

Before these past two seasons, I rarely played ARAM. Now, I play it just to avoid the stress of normals.
