Tilt? how can i fix it

Fukauph·9/25/2017, 4:53:33 PM·1 votes·663 views

Ok so i am very tilty. And no matter how much i improve i cannot stop tilt. For example. I just got off a 14 game win streak. I main top/mid pantheon and fortunately got my role for about 10 games in a row ( i managed to win 3 with champs i never played). But since then i have got 5 games in a row where top/mid gets taken. All 5 games the people who take my roles get wrecked, and me not being great in anything else is unable to carry. Its pretty fustrating. The strange thing is i dont feel like im losing becasue my mmr is higher and im against better players. Its literally because when im tilted maybe i take bad news worse? or i dont try as hard? or i type more?

So im not sure if im crazy, crazy bad, or if other people have this issue. I mean i have tried playing other roles. I mean a good amount to, ive played almost every champ. Its just a spent a lot of time on my pantheon and i feel very very confident i can win while playing him solo lane. (im making this post after a nasus went duo top and then afkd so yes im tilted) Anything i can do to lessen the damage of not getting pantheon mid/top?

As long as behavior and not player improvement is the main focus for league, you will tilt at times unless you can just force yourself to push through it. If you can't then you probably need to play another game because no matter how much a player sucks at this game and no matter how many games they ruin by sucking, as long as they behave they are welcome to continue to suck and ruin games.

I am trying to push through and wait for those games where I have team mates that don't suck. I am sure there are times that I suck as well but I am not the type of player that continues to suck and ruin games because I am always trying to improve myself so I don't ruin games for others like those that are satisfied with sucking do.

It's a shame that RIOT don't encourage player improvement but that's what we have to deal with if we want to play.

Get an anger management course. You are not the only who has or had that problem, its learnable.

Edit: You wanna avoid tilting at all costs. When you tilt and get adrenaline, your brain switches to fight/flight mode and loses his ability to think straight.

It sounds to me like your issue isn't tilt, it's that you're a one trick pony. There's nothing wrong with that, but you're going to have to expect to get punished when you're outside your comfort zone. Personally, I suggest that at your level you're better off focusing on learning all the different roles instead of winning. Make sure you have at least one champ you're comfortable with in every role in case of auto fill, and understand that if you're in a role you're not comfortable with, you're probably not going to be able to be the one that caries the game.

As far as the frustration goes, sometimes you just need to take a step back. It's a team game and sometimes there's nothing you can do even when you get your role. If you finish a game in a particularly bad mood you're probably better off getting up and walking away from your computer for a bit until you calm down. The worst thing you can do is start a new game while you're still upset about the previous one.

Try taking a few seconds to calm down, re-look whatever situation you're in, then try to continue on in a positive manner, if you're getting repeatedly tilted, take a break with league, or what always cheers me up is a custom game with friends where we just meme!

Yes you need to put a lot of time into maybe 2 or 3 other champions if you really want to overcome that weakness.

Diana is a good one to learn. She's AP, has hard engage and can snowball. I recommend her for your mid pick either when you can't take panth mid or there is way too much AD on the team and you need AP. Fizz might be good too, but Diana would probably be more up your alley after Pantheon. She's got a kind of similar kit layout (q for poke, w e r for melee engage). Lastly she's capable of going top or jg as well.

For your top secondary pick, that's a little harder to assume. Pantheon is pretty unique amongst AD Champs in his simplicity and effectiveness. Bottom line is that any back up you pick will probably need to be practiced heavily.

Gnar Fiora Jayce

These 3 are fun to play and fun to learn imo. They're great top laners and if you can play a combo of maybe panth, fiora and either gnar or jayce top you'll be pretty versatile in champ select.

If you need an easy tank in the arsenal, either when you don't feel comfortable about a match up or get filled, I recommend Nautilus

He's simple, tanky af, and is a cc machine. He also does surprising dmg and synergizes nicely with all ADC's.

Don't focus on "I have to win"

Just play to have fun and do your best. Stay positive and congratulate your teammates on good plays.

Tilt only comes from focusing on one thing and not letting up.
