How to stop being Toxic. (You know who you are! ;) )

Greeting's Summoners!

Hi there! If you are self-aware that you are becoming toxic, STOP....Yes, it's that simple. here's how!

(1) Breathe

Yes, Breathe. Try not to get so mad to the point you want to scream and shout and bang your keyboard! Yes, people I've done this =) I admit that. I've done alot, However, I have come to terms and try my best now to behave. ;) So , Wait until the match is over with, turn league off, go outside, breathe, do an activity that requires physical interaction (Jogging, push ups, boxing, whatever) It will help you feel better, just be sure its constructive. 

(2) Mute

Utilize the Mute button if you feel yourself about to explode on a player, Quit thinking about it, and think about over-coming the enemy. Mute the player that is annoying you, Turn off All Chat, mute the enemy team. 7/10 Toxicity comes from Verbal Abuse in My opinion, I do 20 Reports a Day in Tribunal, and I can safely say about 15-17 of them result in Verbal Abuse!  I'm sure theirs others that may agree as well. Remember, Don't Dispute, Keep it Mute!

(3) Play a Different Game

I'm not saying Give up League and uninstall, What I'm saying is turn league off and play another game, more likely a single player game. You are already mad at people online, the last thing you need to do is go jump in another PVP game and rage on there, or worse, bring it back to league. Play a game your fond of, even if its an NES game or something on PS4/Xbox. Whatever makes you happy!! 

(4) Mr.Happy!

Turn that Rage inside out! Make yourself compliment the enemy! Trust me! It may sound sort of weird, but when you begin to compliment the enemy when they say Thank you, Not bad yourself! or just a simple Thank you, You will or May feel better. Thank you is a positive word, we say it when we're appreciative. That enemy you hate so much, May just surprise you when you tell them that, and they thank you humbly, who knows, they may even tell you how to beat that tactic after game ;) 

(5) Encourage Team-Mates

If you feel you must yell at a team-mate, just stop and think for a second on how you can tell that person constructively what they're doing that makes you mad. If you see them tower diving or chasing after bait's, tell them "Hey, May you please stick with us in lane, we really need your help, it's hard without you here" That player will respond better to that, than "Noob! OMG, wtf?!!? Why did you do that! So STUPID!!!!!" That may just provoke them to feed and start assisting enemy team in spite of you, and that will make YOU the culprit as well for provoking such actions. 

Well guys, that should be enough! If you have any questions on what else to do to stop being toxic, or you have a friend that is being toxic and you want to help them, just ask me, add me to league or ask it in forum, I check discussions morning and night, and throughout the day on my time off from work. Thank you guys, and as always, Good Luck and Have Fun!
