PSA: Stop Tilting

Hello, I don't usually post a whole lot on the boards but recently I've been running into this issue in my ranked games. Everybody tilts. Tilting literally does nothing but hurt you. If someone on your team gives up first blood, stop saying things like "gg" "ff@20." All you're going to accomplish when you rage at yourself or teammates is reduce your chances of winning. Hell, I have a friend I play ranked with that tilts in champion select sometimes. Just because someone picks something unorthodox (like a Kat support that carried us somehow), doesn't mean you are going to lose the game. You have to get out of the mindset of "we're going to lose" and "I'm so underfed I can't do anything." Just stop. If you fall behind just play safe and farm up. There will always be a chance that you can steal baron, ace them in a team fight, or simply apply more pressure around the map with sidelanes and end up winning the game.

If you are tilted, take a break from League and go do something else for awhile. If you see a teammate tilting, try to reassure them that everything is fine, you can always make a comeback. This is a game, we are all here to have fun. Also I'm sure I'll get some comments like "you're just in silver 2, this isn't how high elo games work." Well last season I started silver 4 or 5 and only climbed up to silver 2 because I kept tilting. This season, I'm not tilting and I've climbed from bronze 2 to silver 2 and I'm in my series for silver 1. I can't see how tilting would possibly make a difference no matter what elo you are in. There is no upside to tilting.

TLDR; Stop tilting, it's just going to make you lose.
