How the fuck do you control yourself in a game without muting all holy shit.

I've lost it at this point, I won't say how many accounts I've had banned and had to grind over and over for months because it will make this all more shameful. How do you control toxicity? I tried the mute all thing, does not work for me. I still flame them without hearing their responses. Idk if I should go get some outside help to control my anger or something because I am a competitive player trying to get to diamond that just dropped from plat 2 to plat 4 for like the 25th time.(thats not an exaggeration, its a legit number.) I've lost all hope in ''reforming'' or whatever you call it. I've lost faith in myself and have the feeling im going to need to start from level 1 again and get my rank back. Also, I had a question, If i was 2 week banned, and got my honor thing back, does that mean I dropped down a level on the punishment thing, and if my honor resets toward end of season, does that also mean I go down the punishment tier? Please save me and my account I've invested too much time into this game to go back to grinding from level 1 again to reach my ultimate goal of challenger but first completing the baby steps.

In addition to what others say, it's important to humble yourself.

The reason you aren't diamond isn't because of others. It's because of you. You may have repeat teammates in some games, yes, but by and large the only constant in your games is you. If your skill was actually higher, you'd climb.

Remembering that is what prevents me from taking my frustrations out on others. Because they don't deserve it.

the same as swimming without drowning: you don't open your mouth and keep on paddling till you get to shore.

you lose the game? so what? does that effect the next game? will opening your mouth/typing insults on the keyboard help with the situation?

no

Stop caring about other people's opinions on you. Their insults are not worth it. I also think to myself that if I ever insult these people back, I would be the same like them and I don't want to be like that. Besides, insulting them back only proves their point further.

Look back at the time you were flamed: you know you made a mistake that fed your enemy or cost you a turret. You know this is bad. You already berate yourself for making that mistake, you try to find a way to remedy it.

And then there is that dick.

The one who thinks that you're having the time of your life by losing a lane and being in a disadvantage. The one who proceeds to verbally bash you as even you're not doing to yourself right now. The one who thinks that if he nags at you all the time, you will get a clear head. The one who believes that the words like "fuck you retard" are the key to the Chamber of Secrets containing the mysterious knowledge of winning any game. He is nagging. He is _counterproductive. _ Why exactly?

He gives extra tension making you think that this guy is this close to becoming a whiny diva and pointedly going AFK farming. So, in addition to thinking about what you should do to fix the situation in the game, you also have to worry about not making another teammate more angry so they wouldn't throw the game.

For instance, at some point of the game, you can die to save your teammates or to distract the enemy while your team takes an object - the enemy get the kill but your team took Baron and is ready to push.

But nooo. The dick in your team explodes "OMG, report! AFK good luck noobs" and here he goes running around with 5 item 3070 and yelling to the enemy to finish the game. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

So, tl;dr: you don't like that dick? Then don't be that dick. If a person slipped, putting more pressure on them will make them give up even before they tried out every venue in order to help their team.

If you are getting so frustrated with a game that you are becoming abusive towards other players and getting multiple accounts banned then I would suggest you find something else to play which does not cause such behavior in yourself. LOL is a game that tests everyone emotionally at times, you will encounter players who will frustrate you for one reason or another and as their play can greatly affect how a match turns out then the frustration they generate can be all the more amplified, still this is just a game and is of absolutely no importance unless you are making a living off it and you should be treating it as such,

It is a learned skill. It is really not that hard, you ignore them. Who the fuck cares what they say in chat? It doesn't mean a god damned thing. Do you fucking care what some stranger says on the internet?

The gameplan:

Git Gud
Solo Carry
Ignore the mistakes your team does cos you are going to solo carry anyways.

You get angry cos your team is making mistakes and making you loose games. However, if you know that you are good enough to solo carry, you know that you'll still climb regardless of how bad your team is. So if you know that you are already good enough to reach that destination, you would be chill about a small set back that happened within a couple of games throughout the thousands of game you'll play in the season.

I'll give you an analogy: Think of you favourite sports team in an important match. Now you were busy and weren't able to watch it live, but someone spoiled the news to you that your team has won 4-2. Knowing the result, you still want to watch the game anyways. But when the opposite team scores 1 or two goals, you are pretty chill about it, cos you know by the end of the game, your favourite team would have won already.

Take a break

When you find yourself typing something in chat/allchat, press escape, take a depe breath and go win a game. Or at least try. You cannot tell them what you think about them, no matter how potato they all are. It is prohibited.

Just clench your teeth and play your best. And after incredibly potato matches, take a break to vent it out.

By not giving a care. Legit have two people in this lobby crying that I called support when neither of them did but they want to duo bot. I don't care because they both called "bot" which is "ADC/Whatever it is now, thanks Riot for the random meta" it's not my fault they messed up.

A lot of people get tilted over others mistakes, just play the game and enjoy it. Now excuse me, need to go snare some players and explode them with Lux.

If you're legit hardstuck in Plat 2-4 and are serious on getting to diamond, you should get a coach. I'd recommend LS.

Take breaks after hard games. If you got absolutely crushed in laning phase, go drink a cup of water and watch some youtube. Come back to ranked after at least 30 minutes.

For your issue about controlling your inner toxicity, I would have liked to say something along the lines of 'Disable your enter key', but then you'd probably run it down mid instead. In reality, most of our teammates aren't as good as we'd like them to be. However, it is important to understand that nobody actually wants to lose, but they can't control themselves and stop feeding. It's like those people who want to stop smoking but are too addicted to it. Try to imagine all feeders as homeless people that decided to play league before they die from cancer, that might help reduce your anger towards them.

Human psychology has more control of how you feel.
