It may just be my personality, but I don't get why people rage when they play games. Games are for fun, right? IMO, if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

When someone on my team feeds, I don't care. I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it. Maybe they're new to the game/role/champ. Maybe they're just having a bad day/game. Why ruin your own day by reacting negatively toward it?

If you find yourself raging or being toxic, do you ever stop to ask yourself if you'd rather do that than just play and enjoy the game?

Losing can be frustrating. Competition by it's very nature breeds very intense feelings that range from euphoria to rage to even depression, depending on the situation.

Considering that most of the feed/afk/trolls appear in my ranked games where the outcome actually has value, I can't help but rage.

Particularly, I am most likely to rage when someone feeds and then denies they are feeding or making mistakes. I like honest people, if they're feeding and they know it and own it, then I have no problem. I understand people have bad games but at my MMR, I see more people absolutely failing miserably due to bad player choices/mechanics.

Not warding. Tower diving at half health. Getting buffs really late. Wandering off on their own into enemy jungle with no vision.

It's bullshit like this that makes me want to rage.
