How To Not Tilt?

Leo1024·Dec 19, 2016·2 votes·503 views

I'm dangerously close to getting a 2 week ban and I REALLY don't wanna get banned, I was good for a while but recently every time I do well (mostly mid) they start hiding and getting the jg and adc to camp me and it's super tilting, any tips on how to avoid this? anyone know how the pros deal with this kinda stuff?

If anyone knows a way to disable chat in general i'd greatly appreciate it, I move the chat box often but i always bring it back because of how much i tilt

i'd love to not tilt but i'd like it more if i could disable my ability to chat until i can avoid tilting

Thanks, Leo1024

Pretty much just had to take a loss to a group of griefers Role Stealing without consent throwing my game off and threatening / harassing chat muted only my own team went about the game obvious loss could have been a win though but no ability to change champion within 2 minutes after game starts like overwatch ruined it for me...

This is why you get banned have to mute them and not talk, and "Think only to yourself" how much of a re***d they are don't say this in chat it will get you banned but inside you know it when you see your junglers are at fault because they are playing something like MasterYi Sejuani LeeSin Diana and they are doing nothing to help your team they can't counter gank or anything properly so why do they have item 1402 item 1414 instead of which would help your team gain sight and avoid being camped / ganked, not including (Fail Ganks) this is when its your junglers fault if they are not griefing / stealing cs or pushing early like some do offsetting ur lane to cause you problems / loss then this is where they screw up.

I wish junglers would learn that especially in Solo Queue and lower elo for sure maybe even higher idk haven't played that high yet item 1408 is usually the better choice except for stacks if you can do them effectively on a stackable champion like MasterYi

It's about maturity and self-control. No, that's not an insult, I'm just saying those are two paradigms that you can improve over time with practice and patience. The fact that you care and are trying to improve is enough to prove you have the potential to grow in this aspect. Considering that several adults are incapable of this, including senior citizens, you should feel accomplished in this regard.

Now, as for alleviating behaviors...

Standard procedure is mute all if necessary (not at the start of the game, but when you hit that breaking point IMMEDIATELY mute everyone and rely on pings). Instead of typing when you feel angry, try yelling at the screen verbally. When your throat gets sore and you feel bored by yelling the same things, you'll eventually tire and stop it and this might translate to your games.

De-stress after games. Always important.

Shake things up and remember to play normal games. Play roles you aren't used to, champions fun to play but you're not skilled enough with or the meta doesn't favor them in competitive.

Play support occasionally. You might develop paternal/maternal instincts that help you keep your tilting moods internal in fear of hurting your beloved demon spawn.

etc etc

thanks man, means a lot, and yeah i play support but i usually tilt when i'm mid, i'm actually looking forward to trying this out, i've always stayed silent and typed out my anger but actually saying it out loud might be a lot better, thanks for the tips, really appreciate it

Unbind your chat key. I wouldn't recommend that except in this situation. If you're serious about fixing your problem, do it.

Aside from that, when you get angry, say things out loud. Don't type them. It helps.

thanks, i'll probably end up doing this until i figure out how to control myself

PlsTouchMeGentlyDec 19, 20162 votes

No prob man; best of luck. You're at least trying, which is more than I can say for most in your situation.

Leo1024Dec 19, 20161 votes

Yeah, I used to rage every single game at every death and take to all chat to completely yell at both teams, i was rude when i won and a dick when i lost all while smashing my keyboard, i'm honestly surprised i wasn't banned looking back

to the present, i get tilted, and the most i do is smack my hands together but if i'm getting completely camped or get rekt by a champ i can't stand (Veigar, Yasuo, Lee, Darius, Annie, etc, etc) i call them out on stupid things but i'm hope i'm able to overcome that

Bronze really is a terrible environment for that because a lot of people just feed off of each other. The toxicity just builds up to a fever pitch and everyone gets dragged down in it.

If you'd like some advice from a playing perspective on getting out of bronze (because that also helps with toxicity), I'd recommend just spamming the champs you're good at. Your Zyra is about low silver, not bronze.

And everyone gets annoyed with Yasuo lol. Me probably less so, what with maining Malzahar, but he still pisses me off with his cute little dashes haha

I could honestly very well reach silver with my mid mages, the problem becomes that I do super good early at playing aggressive, poking, and keeping up with farm, that the enemy just hides behind their turret until their jg and adc come mid which sucks since it's either shyvanna ult, lee kicking me in, vi pressing r, or xin right clicking his ass off lol, i probably just gotta hold out or find a different playstyle so that I can actually get kills and not have the enemy hide behind their turrets

but yeah zyra is good, my support is probably better than my mid atm but i find mid more fun so i've been playing it more recently, however i'm starting to play more support again which should be fun

Gotcha man. Well you probably know what you do best. If you want to add me and run some norms sometime, feel free.

Most people in his situation are human just like everyone else, are are equally terrified of getting permabanned. We shouldn't dehumanize or disassociate those who struggle to cope with cognitive dissonance. In fact, that's extremely counter productive.

With all due respect, the majority of the people I see in his situation on the boards 100% are not attempting to change their behavior. Whenever I see someone that is trying to change, I'll do everything I can to help. Otherwise, good riddance.

What I do is I ward one of the brushes in mid lane and I stay near it since I know that if they come from the other side I can easily escape and if they come from the side thats warded I can see them in advance. If theyre camping you then what you can do is think about the positives of them camping you. like for example your bot lane might be doing very well so them camping you lets your bot lane continue to destroy lane. ALso dont be scared to ask your jungler for ganks, just dont blame them. Its not their fault you are getting camped and saying something like "when will you gank?" will make them less likely to. they dont have to gank you specifically. And the last thing is if what tilts you comes from the enemy making a smart ass remarks like "outplayed" then just mute them. Dont even tell them youre going to.

Leo1024Dec 19, 20161 votes

yeah I always get a control ward, put it in a bush and hug that side of lane but i'm usually applying too much pressure and i'm pushed up so their jg comes from either side and i'm done for, i should probably change my play style but i've realized that's usually what gets me killed

Tahminatrix Dec 19, 20161 votes

Disable enemy chat because the meta shifts over to flaming to tilt the enemy team once schools are out for holidays / breaks

Also keep a positive mindset, your mistakes ... even if they get you killed early game in laning phase you can always warn your teammates of possible snowball of enemy jg or mid lane roams

Tilt all you want, avoid profanity and afking and you'll be fine. Alternatively, you're ban teir goes down once per month, so leaving pvp or non-5-man-premades for 2-3 months will also reset your penalty thing. Fun fact, frequent players are statistically more likely to be permabanned because bad game frequency goes up with game frequency.
