Help me stop tilting.

Artishy·10/20/2015, 7:57:22 AM·1 votes·732 views

From diamond 5 to Plat 2. This was way back. I have a history of tilting and purposely losing games because of my actions. If I didn't tilt I wouldve been diamond 3 or something by now. I need help.

I keep flaming my team because of their mistakes because I know I would've done their action better. I understand the game too much and eventually just flame and lose games due to it.

Flaming and tilting of mine usually starts with an afk (god why are there so many?!?), I get pretty upset at the fact that I have to lose a game because of another player . This carries out to my next games and it just never stops.

I just don't fucking know what to do. I honestly feel like going into ranked and purposely feeding the enemy team due to my frustration and anger. Making the people who were teamed with me lose. I'm basically taking it out on them. I don't want to do this because I'll probably get reported more and banned, but I don't want that happening.

I've almost went on a feeding spree due to the tilt and anger, affecting my rank even more and attitude as well.

I need help. No bm please, that really sets me off. I will fking strangle you if you even think this is funny. I'm just asking for help.

Focus on the aspects of what you can control.

Frustrating as it can be to watch allies make mistakes/poor decisions/outright throw or troll - you are ultimately accountable for your actions, thoughts, and feelings in relating to the world (the external aspect) of reality. Internally, your mind is your own - and to lose your temper, to lose control, is you demonstrating weakness by saying: others wield greater control over you than yourself.

That being said, when you find yourself tilting in a ranked session - post game: stop.

Don't go into another ranked match until you've calmed down first and foremost.

Secondly, examine your own actions, thoughts, patterns of thinking - find out what you could've done better/improved upon.

This introspective examination of your abilities/meta-cognition will make you a more conscientious and self-aware player, with a better understanding of not just limiting your mistakes - but capitalizing on the ones that you do make to expand your abilities and help you grow from such experiences.

e.g.: mechanical skill refinement (the most basic), strategic pro-activity (taking advantage of an asset YOU control), strategic reactivity (taking advantage of a window of weakness an enemy has presented), foresight (understanding the chain of possible events with each action/inaction and weighing up the benefits and cons of each).

Suffice it to say, there well never be a point where can say in full confidence they are 'good enough'. There is always something to improve upon - and that should be the guiding beacon of light that illuminates your path. Not to compare, compete, or look down on those you've surpassed - but to realize your fullest potential, if not push the boundaries of what you thought were your limits.

Try to do something else. I've noticed when I play multiple games in a row that I start to do worse.
