For a couple of months now I've had a falling out with this game. I used to be a happy "dw guys we can still win this!" type player, but now I tilt so much more easily. I used to have fun and meet tons of new friends all the time, but now I usually get pissed and lose a friend, or rarely find new people to play with. I noticed this happened when I started playing ranked again, and grinded to s3 from b1. Please someone help, Thank you so much to anyone to comments.

Frankly, whenever i get to this point I just take a few days break from league. Just not dealing with the trolls and feeders can be amazing, if only for a weak.

Here is a good thing. Listen to music you like and can sing along to when you play, play only champions you enjoy and DO NOT think of ranked as a measure of how good you are, think of it as an RNG challenge. Dont think, "I need this rank!" thinks "How far can I make it?"

EDIT: Also do not play more than one ranked game with out either a 20-30 minute break in between or a normal/aram/featured.

Stay levelheaded and keep a calm demeanour. Notice that this is only a game and isn't you losing a job and getting fired. If you lose a ranked game and you're tilted, take a break for 3-24 hours. If you are on a 3 game winning streak, take a break. If you lose a ranked game and aren't tilted at all, play another one. If you win that one take a break, and if you lose again take a break. Mute people that are putting you down and insulting you, but listen to constructive criticism. Don't even type anything, the only things you should type are constructive criticism, saying nice job or good job (not sarcastically), or anything beneficial to your team. Use ping system a lot, and don't spam it.

Play some fun modes until you feel like ranking again. You can still enjoy what you've unlocked on your account. Try to get a group. Maybe check some twitch streams for people who want to play.

Think less of the players in the game and more of your situation. How can I overcome this situation? This Nunu keeps counter-jungling, and this is unlike anything I've experienced before, so what do I do to overcome this new challenge? This Ashe keeps on dying. This is a challenge. How do I overcome? My support is not warding properly. I'll try playing around this. Maybe I'll buy item 2049 . I can learn from this.

Look at every game as a good game. Win or lose. Find something to be thankful for. It could be how the game went, it could be how you felt, your thoughts. It could be unrelated to the game, except that playing the game brought you to this point.

Anyone else read that as grinding from s3 to b1? Just me? Nevermind then.

Anyways on to the subject at hand. I am not really sure how much direct advice I can give you. I am one of those happy go lucky fellows 90% of the time. However I also don't usually have much trouble changing my mentality. For me it has always been. Am I feeling down about something? Well stop. Ok. Done.

There are a few tricks I can offer that help keep me in check at the worst of times though. One is that when you are starting to get stressed/whatever just go play an Aram. Go into it with purely the goal of having fun and just playing a silly game. Chat around with the other team and do semi dumb stuff. I am not telling you to troll. However I am saying to just play a super relaxed game. Personally I find it fun to use this site to get a random build for the champ you are playing.

Some more tricks are what others have said. Keep it firmly in mind that this is a game.

I also find that playing music can be hit or miss for some people. Turn off your LoL game music and play something fairly relaxing. Not necessarily calming music as in classical (although personally that is what I enjoy) but just a genre that doesn't overly stimulate you but that you enjoy. Pull up a video that has a couple songs in it and loop it. Playing music you own is another option. I tend to steer away from music with lyrics personally.

The music thing tends to be pretty hit or miss though. It might work for you it might not.


Finally and most importantly: If you aren't having fun stop playing (preferably not in the middle of a game) Go take a walk or something. Play destiny or Smash bros or whatever is the trend these days. Wow.... I just realized that for someone getting a degree in game programming I am super out of the loop on current trends. Huh. Interesting.

Anyways yeah. If you aren't having fun go do something else. Often getting up and moving around can help your mentality a lot. Similar tricks to this are doing jumping jacks or push ups or whatever depending on how fit you are during the loading screen. Getting your blood flowing a bit will help your thinking clarity and honestly improve your League skills at the same time.


Uhhh, yeah. I think that just about covers everything i can think of. 10 pm and I got school tomorrow so I will be heading out now. Feel free to shoot me any questions and I should get back to you sometime tomorrow. Cheers!

Plug in your headphones and sing as you play, if helps let go of stress (Preferably Miley Cyrus - Ordinary Grill c: ) MissFortune

I'm going down the same path. I was reported by everyone in a game, maybe? I'm not sure, but I was jinx bot with janna support. I got rooted by the support zyra a few times and took some damage from her and it titled this guy into another dimension. He says he's done and goes to support mid instead. We ended up losing.

After the game he says I was trolling and to report me and it works, they believe him.

It's not worth it anymore to play such a toxic game. There's one good game and then just utter bullshit for the next ten and it doesn't balance out.
