ive taken 2 months breaks which led me to be more angry because i was so rusty even when i was trying to get back into the game in lower elos.

ive muted all and closed my chat to like 1 from the interface thing.

ive tried never typing anything but "this guy no f"

i cant seem to stop myself from telling someone to stop playing like a goddamn moron. everygame i feel like i have to lead atleast 1-2 people to victory and it tilts me so goddamn much. i hate knowing the fact that there are people getting wins they dont deserve and people losing games they deserve to win.

i play on a plat smurf and legit cry when i watch my teammates suicide and such and just play like such greedy idiots.

its so damn simple to take what u can get and leave.

what exactly can i do now? what else can i try. dont just tell me "stop being toxic". ive always been like this. COD DC universe runescape Conquer online Overwatch Battlefield.

what the hell is it about this game that makes me SO much more angry at a much more constant rate. what can i do as a competitive player to actually play this game and not be angry when i get off even after a win?

edit: ive never had a restriction in the past 6 months. idk if that means anything i still think im toxic af when it comes to morons on my team.

If you always find yourself angry when your allies mess up, you might just need to relieve some stress outside the game. Exercise is a great way of doing this, but you can just get your mind off it a bit by playing a less stressful game or watching some tv too.

You may also consider joining/creating a 5-man team so you can play only with people you trust and synergize with. This takes some effort and planning to consistently get a group together, but it removes the random factor from your matches.

have you tried anger management ? seems like you have a anger issue and not a league issue. do you rage when you drive? get pissy and punch walls? have destructive behavior? overly aggressive? like to fight?

i'm in the same boat, i'm struggling to not type to people, in plat/diamond it's actually not horrible, but i'm on a smurf i just made in silver, and it's the most frustrating shit on earth, they will not let you carry them, if you're ahead, they will decide they're ahead too and go feed the nearest hypercarry 10 kills in 10 minutes and then flame the team for not helping them somehow.

this game is just turning to shit because games are not won anymore, they are lost, one player doesn't rise above like they used to and carry, now it's, which team has the bigger troll that doesn't belong in this elo.

when you make a system to be a "team game" and the entirety of the game is based on one player, it's not great, but when that one player goes from the best player, to the absolute worst player, it's infinitely more toxic. You work your ass off, only to have some asshole just fuck around and lose everything you have been focusing on and working for, and you can't do anything to stop them, and if you type to them, they intentionally feed, flame, and you get in trouble, the game is toxic by design.

anyone who says otherwise is a casual who doesn't actually care, because the only way you could be okay with the current state of the game is if you don't care about it or take it seriously at all.

There's nothing you can do. I'm the same was as you except I've been permabanned across 4 accounts. There's just something about seeing a teammate run in 1v4 and then proceed to flame me for not backing them up that sets me off like nothing else in the world. I can't explain it and I wish I could change it, but there's just no way (for me at least).

Are you asking for honest opinions?

I think when people put so much emotion into a game it's because they don't have much going on in their life to put emotion into. It's like you got all this pent up energy so when you play video games, you gotta let it out... or else you'll be raging at people in real life (maybe u do already, idk). So the only thing I can suggest, and trust me I'm not trying to insult u by saying this (I am a loser), is get more shit going on in your life. Having more important things to think about/do, really makes you appreciate the fact that your video game is your downtime hobby that should be fun and happy times. Unless you play for money, the game has no consequence on your life (other than being a huge timesink) and shouldn't be taken seriously enough to actually get that mad at people's mistakes.

EDIT: if you've accepted that video games are your life, then you should really at least go to the gym or something to release some of that energy. Sitting around all day looking at a screen isn't good for your brain or your body and can have negative effects (anxiety, depression, anger).

Maybe, uhh, realize you're not perfect too. Put your energy in to improving yourself and take it away from leading others or focusing on others or whatever.... Unless you can find some positive way to do so.

Also don't smurf and expect people to be as good as your main (if it's much higher ranked). These people are plat (or low elo or whatever) for a reason. You don't sneak in to Kindergarten as a College student and rage at kids for not knowing College level stuff. That makes no sense especially since you probably were in their shoes before. I dunno.

Does this make sense?

Physically remove your enter key. Helps out more than you would think.

Also a Teemo plushie next to your mouse helps. :)

don't worry about it dude

league of legends likes to pretend that if you have an outward, strong personality, you deserve to be punished. they gave it a negative name, "toxicity"

when in reality (irl), if someone is being an idiot its expected to call him out. this game caters to weaklings, so even though it sucks, just know that youre not in the wrong, its just a delusional set up by the gaming culture.

If you get so angry all the time when you play then why even play at all? There are plenty of other games that aren't as rage inducing and I can't imagine that being so angry even lets this game be fun for you. My honest advice is to just stop playing altogether, or at least stop playing ranked and just fuck around with non meta shit in normal games because those you can have fun with even if you lose.
