It's possible. The biggest tip I've got to avoid tilting is to focus less on your teammates mistakes and more on your own, then tell yourself it's OK and you won't make those mistakes next game.

If you're the only positive member on your team, have roamed to help lanes, did pretty much everything you could to help your team not suck, and they still go negative and throw the game, what should you personally look at to fix in your own playstyle?

I understand this isn't a perfect game for me as Pantheon, but prior to every lane losing in my game, I had pretty much no deaths at all and was quite fed, I roamed with Pantheon ult, helped lanes, and even after giving them a chance in their respective lanes to get better items from farm/kills from ganks, they still continue to lose, I have so many examples of this in my match history where I'm positive score wise with decent CS and my entire team is negative, not sure how I can improve when a lot of the time my losses seem completely dictated by whether my team is inherently good or bad, I've read diamond's posting about the truth of this in low ELO too.

Things I've focused on when in similar situations:

How could I have avoided dying so often? You and Shyvanna both died 8 times, tying for most deaths on your team, but the difference is that your deaths gave the enemy team more gold than her deaths because you'd gotten more kills. When you're on a killing spree and you die you give gold to the entire enemy team, not just those that killed you, which can also make things harder for your allies.
Why did I think I was safe when I was with so-and-so? I fall into this habit too frequently, thinking that I'm in an OK spot and with a teammate, failing to remember that that particular teammate is basically useless and I'm essentially alone. If I had played as if I was alone I would have realized I was over extended, pulled back, and not given over extra kills.
How could I have gotten more CS? Take jungle camps if you have to, just get more gold into your pocket. Illaoi died more times than you and had fewer kills, but she had a 2k gold lead on you because she CSed like a beast.
Could I have killed a tower? Another part of Illaoi's gold advantage is her team had 7 towers killed, which leads to a lot of extra global gold. If you could find/make an opportunity to knock over just a single tower that can help your teammates out a lot.

I'm not going to pretend every situation is winnable solo, especially not if you're actually matched with opponents your own skill level, but there's always things in your game that you can look at to improve. By focusing on the factors you can control (what you're doing in a game) instead of the factors you can't control (all the banned champions, how teammates play, etc.) you can avoid tilting.

One issue I have with me dying more than I should, is that I leave lane a lot to help my teammates, because if I don't it usually spirals into losing a lot of objectives, since my presence alone (being the only or one of the only fed players on my team) is the reason we can win in situations they wouldn't alone, in that game I killed Illaio around 6 times and died once in that period from a tower dive gank. I used my huge lead to attempt to help my team, but in most situations, they weren't really able to dish out a lot of damage, regardless my presence helped, so I'm forced to make decisions at this point, try to make plays with my lead and give my opposing lane a chance to catch up, farm freely, take towers, or continue to dominate my lane and farm CS, maybe only going for plays when they present themselves to me, rather than me setting them up.

What's your advice in this regard.

It sounds like a similar problem to mine, thinking the other players can help when they can't. I typically play long range champions like Xerath though, so when I get into those types of situations I try to just use my allies as meat shields, letting them soak up CC/damage then I attack.

If I'm playing with friends, yeah. Then we pull stupid stunts like purposefully not saving someone from a Cat ULT, stupid builds, etc

I don't think it's possible. I'm a completely Zen person when people are upset.

But if someone's harassing someone else (doesn't have to be me) I get mad. If you get mad at that you're bound to go on tilt at least once or twice.

It's difficult, but not impossible. I never really get angry while playing. It's possible to control my tilt if I'm really focused that day, but maintaining that level of performance every time I play is hard.

TyrekGoldenspearDec 23, 20161 votes

It can definitely be a challenge. Every time I play I remind myself that I am still learning and that I shouldn't expecr myself or any of my teammates to be Faker, so I avoid that kind of tilt.

The tilt from when your teammates flame you or spam ping ? When you make a mistake is harder, but I try to look at it from their perspective, as they likely see me as someone that is keeping them from a win.

After all, none of us truly know each other whem we get in a game. We only see each other's performance.

As someone with raging anger issues, this game does absolutely nothing to me. It's a game, don't treat it like it's real life and you'll be fine.

the honest question is I'm not sure, but I can't recall being angry while playing at all. Sure, I've been frustrated, especially when ppl are intentionally trying to irritate you by trolling/feeding, but I've seen enough of that and I've come to accept that's just the way we human beings are, and that there's nothing I can do about what others are doing. Just play the game, do what you can, and make it as entertaining as you can.

I pretty much never get mad at games, it's just how I've always been. If a game is getting close to bothering me I just finish up what I'm on and stop for the day. No real reason to get upset, it doesn't actually effect your life in any way.

That's my view anyway.
