How do you not be toxic

I've been through about 10+ accounts now each getting banned for the same reason of flaming. This account just got a 14 day suspension after getting chat suspension twice and just right when I finally left bronze. I already know I'm a toxic person as I flame my teammates in other games as well on different platforms. I'm wondering if there's any way to overcome this or become less toxic so that I can actually keep an account longer than a year and stop buying rp only to lose that account.

how not to be toxic is similar to how not to be an asshole

ever were told/taught that "golden rule" if you cant say anything nice , dont say anything at all?

oh and being mature, lack of maturity is typically what causes toxicity in this game. makes sense considering majority of the player base is adolescence males. teens to early 20s.

also realize this is a video game, you can not control what the other 9 players do/dont do. you will not win every game and you will not lose every game but you will win about as much as you lose.

this is the internet, the dumbass who got you so tilted in game you will most likely never see again in a game nor ever in real life. so what is the point to flame, argue , tilt etc ? it proves nothing, does nothing but get you reported and banned.

best way to not get banned is to never use chat at all.

if you do use chat keep it generic to the game. "jungle top" "need gank" "lets go drag/baron" etc

Remove the Enter button so you wont be able to use the chat ,,, or just move the chat away from the screen.

Learn to identify your own mindset before the game starts. I've had times where I've entered a queue--or even gotten to champion select-- and realized I wasn't focused enough for a good game. In those cases, I'll dodge and switch to a more casual game mode or even logout completely and do something else for a bit.

Some of my prefered alternate activities:

LCS vods
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Nostalgia Critic reviews
Single player games
Get some excercise
Get some food
Talk to people IRL
Read and/or write fanfiction

I lost this account at the start of this season. The ban was unjust but whatever. Since then, I don't speak much in chat. I've realized you will always at some point get some 1-13 trash can on your team. Nothing anyone can do about that. So I don't stress over it. Sometimes when it gets over bearing. I just tell my team I'm leaving and log out. I don't bother flaming or throwing tantrums because it's not like that shit happens once in a while. Waste of energy being overly angry with so many countless people.

It's good that you recognize the issue - if it's manifesting in your day-to-day life rather than just while playing a certain game, you might consider talking to a professional. If you'd rather not do that just yet, you can try some things at home, like CBT worksheets or other strategies.

It's pretty hard to get banned for flaming unless you're repeatedly racist. Just like every game youre not chat banned unless you flame every single game where you aren't winning at minute 10

There is no cookie cut response for this really. Everyone is different and have various methods of coping/dealing with things. If it is in otger games too, you may want to take a moment and look at yourself. Is something irl causing you to be more stressed and short tempered?

Some people speak out loud instead of typing.

Some drink water when upset.

Others completely turn off Ally and All chat so they cannot see or speak.

You gotta not swear in game, otherwise you go to hell.

I usually have all and ally chat off. I also, when I get upset, focus on what IM doing wrong, and not what my allies are doing. If your allies are making stupid mistakes (going in 1v5) dont help them. Completely hide your chat. make it as large as you can (go into persistent settings and make it like 350), then hide it on the edge so you cannot see it at all; then make it as small as you can so you cant even grab it.
