Is there anyway to lower salt in general?

ModAcademy Kayn··1 votes·793 views

I'm one of those guys who get real salty sometimes, no matter what game I'm playing, be it League, Overwatch, Magic or DnD, and frankly, I'm not a fan of it. Most salt occurs when I think something was unfair, biased against me or when something doesn't feel right about a situation. Since being salty about things with friends around makes the game less fun for all, is there any tips to help lower the salt or frustration?

And to clarify, when I'm salty, I don't get rowdy or start cursing, I just kinda pout and verbally voice my opinions on the topic (which may or may not lead into an argument, but that depends).

First step: stop using the words "salty" "salt" or any similar word because it's corny, overused, and absolutely annoying. Second step: Put Enya on repeat.

Turn off lol music and play something calming and instrumental that you can enjoy.

I personally prefer non lyrics because I find that Lyrics can distract from the game.

Comes down to pref I guess, just so long as you stay away from anything to metal-y or harsh.

This guy's got a point, having music playing that calms you helps a ton. It takes work to realize that you have to just shut up, one thing you could do is every time you feel like you're getting salty, take a drink of something or a bite of something healthy like fruit. This way whatever you intended to say has to wait till you're down chewing, and by that time you'll have time to actually consider what you were going to say and realize that maybe it's something best to just keep to yourself or not be as angry over in the first place.
