Experienced "Tilt" for the first time last night.

I was playing a game as Illaoi top against a Veigar also in the top lane. After just a few waves I had forced him out of lane twice I was up a level or two and I was up by a good amount of CS. Then randomly for the first time in over a year I got the dreaded "Attempting to reconnect" popup and the Veigar auto attacked me to death while I stood there motionless (according to my buddies on coms with me).

I reconnected a few minutes later. Behind him in CS, down a level and 1 kill behind. And honestly pretty dang annoyed.

From there I died 5 more times, forgot to ward the river and misjudged his DMG time and again.

This isnt to say I dont have games where I go 0/6 at the end of laning. But I am good about warding and when I am behind I rarely go for kills in lane unless I have help.

I am usually good about "Its just a game" but I just kept taking it personally. Crazy how much tilt can impact your game.

IMO it is much worse when it is a factor outside your own control, like networking or someone playing darius. Being helpless sucks.
