So after back to back losses, im taking a break instead of playing further and letting things escalate.
You guys should do the same, could prevent in game rage and subsequent reports/ bans
RacoonHunter3 votessometimes It helps, sometimes it doesn't. I had a weekend where I was on one helluva losing streak, stopped and took a break, played some normals and some FF 14, and decided ok I'm calmed.. only to run into some of the most toxic and cancerous players that riot refuses to even look at punishing (I'm talking full fledged N word every other line, Intentional feeders that are so obvious even a blind man can see..etc)
so, I ended up not playing league for a few days... it sucks that I had to do that to stop my tilt and to accidentally get punished myself (because the only times I've gotten chat restricted I finally told off the toxic players what I really thought without any filters) , but with the way things are this day and age, you have to.
Skins Project1 votesDid you...
Report them?
RacoonHunter3 votesyup and nothing popped up that they were even punished.. in fact, with as hard of a stance riot is against hate speech, they sure are soft on it when it comes to punishment.

Wolfess2 votesSometimes it's a good idea to step back from the game and cool off, frustration can impair your normal, calm thought process and make you misjudge what is going on, likely making you 'thirsty' and trying to prove to yourself that you are actually capable of doing things to satisfy your own ego, and that's not good neither for you nor your team.
If there's a show you like to watch or a simpler game you can enjoy playing for a couple of minutes, I'd recommend something like that to take your mind off of league and then when you feel calmer and more relaxed, then you are probably ready to attempt getting back in the queue for another match.
Big Lincoln2 votesnope
don't care how many shit teams riot throws at me, i'm going to keep playing until i get a good one
sej twen2 votesthe thing is when you actually get a good team you just stomp the game and its boring af
Big Lincoln2 votesi'm not playing ranked for fun
DrCyanide3 votesIs it a career choice then? Or do your parents have it as a chore for you?
Big Lincoln2 votesi have a goal for diamond and i'm going to get it
DrCyanide3 votesI guess I don't see why you'd set a goal like that unless you found the game fun or accomplishing challenging goals fun. In both cases though, fun would still be at the heart of why you'd do what you do, which is why I don't understand the "I'm not playing a video game for fun" statement.
sej twen1 votessorry, i didnt know you were talking about ranked at first, also sorry for late reply

Tribbles Foxfolk1 votesYep, I agree. I usually take a breather from League if I start going on a losing streak (usually 3 back-to-back, sometimes more or less). It definitely helps keep tilt in order.
In an ironic twist, I would actually recommend playing a ridiculously hard game like Binding of Isaac or Darkest Dungeon while you're de-tilting. Since they're designed ground-up to be so hard and somewhat RNG, I've found it hard to get truly frustrated or tilted from them.
ˉˉˉˉˉˉ1 votesMy routine is:
League. Tilted? Overwatch. Tilted? Steam achievements. Bored? Repeat.
I wanna get Elder Scrolls Online so bad and free myself from this shit...
DJMason881 votesWait for the Steam Summer sale and hope ESO is on sale and maybe even Morrowind as well.
ˉˉˉˉˉˉ1 votesI know dude, hence "I wanna get it so bad," since I am waiting for Summer Sale starting June 22nd I believe they said.
And no, not Morrowind, at least not yet. Just the Gold Edition, since all the important DLCs are on there.
I know I could buy big versions of the game for cheap on other websites, but none of them are Steam Keys, just ESO keys. I need everything on Steam, not scattered...
IPromiseTomorrow1 votesAgreed. Taking a walk in the forest is really good tip to calm down. Everyone finds their own peace in there Make sure you do it until you're calm also 1 minute into the forest isn't very helpful.
General Esdeath 1 votesWait how did you accidentally power down? I'm actually curious because it's gotta be a different way from how I power down.
