If you're a repentant rager who is trying to quit the habit, then remember this: Losing is okay. Sure, it's not great. Nor, however, is it unbearably awful.

For the most part, nobody's trying to lose nor deliberately not trying to win. If your team isn't playing to their utmost, it is frustrating but you don't have to let it be enraging.

In fact, even if there are trolls on your team, consider the matter in perspective. Sure, they make you cross but why let them make you furious?

Moderate your response; avoid extremes. You have the final say in how you respond to a situation. Nobody can actually "make you angry." They can make mistakes or even deliberately goad you. It may be comforting to lay responsibility at somebody else's feet but in doing so, you also relinquish your own agency. You are granting other people power over your emotions. Assert control over yourself. Ultimately, you cannot assert control over anything or anybody else. You will improve your attitude, your enjoyment of the game and, I contend, your ability to affect the outcomes of your games as well.

If you want to cultivate a state of mind that makes it easier to put this advice into practice, develop some perspective.

One day this week, serve soup at a homeless shelter, pack groceries at a food bank, read to some children at the library. If you're an adult with a job, start a correspondence class in that thing you always wanted to learn but which never seemed practical. Learn to crochet, learn to play a musical instrument, make supper for your parents.

Empathize with some real people. Do some things that are really enlivening. Serve some purpose that's really important. Then, some stranger performing badly at a video game won't seem worth you popping an artery over.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

well if you don't tilt at all ever, then it wouldn't apply, but in general the lowering of inhibitions would make anyone who ever gets tilted do so more easily, i would think

what tilts me is people who wont ff a game that is over

have an afk, down 20 kills all lanes are gone. down to nexus turrets and some asshat in game (typically a duo) refuses to FF cuz they think their is something to gain from dragging that game out for 45 mins when we could of just let it go at 20 and then after all that SOME ASSCLOWN ON THE ENEMY TEAM COMMENTS "GGEZ " AS THEY FINALLY WIN A 4 VS 5 AFTER 45 MINS

that is what tilts me about this game

other then that i just try to have fun, dont take to seriously and understand people all have different skill levels and strengths and we are all just trying to mash buttons and have fun

Yeah it's like since we fucked up climate change why havne't we nuked the world yet, same shit imo.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

well some would argue we are still in the end of the last ice age... and this is just the earths natural cycle happening coming out of that ice age . for how many X number of years the climate on the earth has changed ... history ,core samples etc show that... could we as humans make it worst? possible ... but the whole argument most of the climate change nuts have is what if... what if it is real or not... but what if we dont do anything and its real and we die... but if we do something and its not real then what was the harm

kinda like religion what if their is or isnt a creator /god or whatever but if you dont believe you go to hell and not heaven so believe just in case ? lol

the human species is a cancer on this living thing we call earth the earth will get tired of us. we will die off like other species and the earth will physically still be here long after we are gone cuz it was here long before we ever existed

LegendaryLemur1 votes

Yeah, see that kind of attitude is why you surrender.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

i surrender a lost game when it is lost and there is other games i could start and play, or other things i could do with life...

hell sometimes i been holding back a turtle head poking out and i need to go and handle business

for the love of whatever you believe in let a lost game go

its best for all

LegendaryLemur1 votes

games are lost when nexus 'splode. 'til then opp can dc

edit: i surrender games when i don't feel like playing them, even boring equal ones. If i'm having fun i keep playing even if it feels lost. It's a vote not a questionnairre on efficiiency

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

this is a weird thing on NA in other servers they will flat out open mid to end a game cuz in the terms of rank play when you can grind out 5 games over the same time you play 2 that you drag out a lost game for you have the potential to gain more lp over 5 games by letting the lost game go and moving to a fresh on. where you drag out that one for an extra 25 mins lose, people rage flame etc all get tilted try to go play another game their previous game is effecting them and it creates a snowball effect of tilt and bad play and loss streaks.

dont know if you play poker or not... gotta know when to fold them , gotta know when to hold them, gotta know when to walk away

i play poker.. but not for money.... If you are grinding at poker it's because you want to make a living. If you're just playing cards/LoL it's not so serious.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

well i have played for years. at my most intense part of poker playing was about 50-60 hrs a week. won numerous tournments, won lot of $ at cash table in casinos , for fun with friends, private underground gambling rooms etc

last time i played i went to the casino with a buddy we went to the 1/2 no limit table with $200 max buy in ... with in about 3 hrs i went from $200 to $750 and got bored and walked away

Listening to music always helps. Taking breaks, have a stress ball nearby.

Best advice is to take a look at all the champions/skins/etc you've earned and/or spent money on on your account and think "Is losing my cool over this game really worth losing all this stuff?"

mute all and just cuss out load instead of typing it. like having road rage with the windows up.

Have another game as an escape. Preferably a non competitive game. Online or no.

For me I use Guildwars 2 and just stay away from PVP. Just run dungeons, farm mats, or chat up the guildies. Or you can look up funny videos on youtube to chill out.
