PSA: Regarding Rage

So you're angry. We can talk about your feelings. Seriously. No sarcasm.

Do you have a right to be angry? Certainly. Your emotional response to a situation is valid.

Do you have a right to rage at your team mates? In the most literal sense, sure. You have a right to say what you want and they have a right to say what they want, including "lol u mad bro?" or "its just a game". Is it productive, though? Let's consider.

Does being angry help improve your situation? Does it make your team mates play better? Does it make you play better? Very probably not. In this regard, it is almost certainly counterproductive.

Is being angry good for you? Probably not. I imagine that the stress and tension you develop is probably detrimental to your health. Unless you're actually a pro and play LoL for a living, you probably have enough stress from work. Is it good for your team mates? Again, probably not, for the same reasons.

When your team mates say "lol you sound angry," they're probably not deliberately taunting you. They're probably trying to insulate themselves from the effects of your rage. Again, unless you are a pro, the people you're playing with are going to run the gamut from total casuals to moderately serious amateurs. For the most part, at the start of the game, while skill will vary, most players will be fairly intent on winning. When you rage, the message you convey is, essentially, "You play badly and you should feel bad." If you recognize that fact and truly, deliberately intend to make your team mates feel poorly about themselves, then I am disappointed and my sympathy for your situation is lessened. If you hadn't thought it through that far, then consider this: NOBODY wants to feel bad over a game. The rational response is that they moderate their expectations from "I'm trying to win" to "This is just a game. No need to feel bad."

Alternately, there are folks, like me, who have thought these matters through, and are actually sincerely concerned for YOU, the angry person. If, like me, you're an amateur, then you're playing this game more for pleasure than for any other purpose. It is, however seriously you might take it, a hobby. It should be relaxing and satisfying. You cannot, ultimately, control your team mates. All you can do is control yourself. If the typical behaviour of your team mates is THAT upsetting to you, that you become enraged, please consider a different hobby. This one is not meeting your needs.

In summary (TLDR): Raging does not make your team mates play better, it does not make you play better, it does not improve your team mates disposition, it does not improve your own disposition, it is probably not good for your health, and it probably doesn't help you to enjoy your hobby. It is counterproductive to every purpose a non-pro, non-griefer could have to playing a game. For your own sake and that of the other people who share your hobby, please stop.
