I need help with toxicity

I NEED HEALlNG·3/22/2017, 4:06:53 AM·1 votes·459 views

I'm starting to get more toxic than i've ever been in the past. It's just this game and its players. Especially the bad ones. I rage at certain champions that have little to absolutely no counter play but to just not play, but i don't take it out on my teammates.

But the situation lately have been with really bad players. Keep in mind: i'm no great Faker of bronze or anything, but Holy. Fuck.

I cannot handle it. A pantheon flashing away from a no mana Blitz because he got hit? Same guy running away from a fucking 3v2 when he's half health. Recently I cannot STAND to play with these people. I've never been the one to flame, and when i have been doing it it's not a flame and more of a ... shock. But i cannot deal with bad players recently. I don't know what to do. I get EXTREMELY angry when i see those horrid players..play. We could be winning and i'd want to flip. What should i do?

I could play ranked and try to climb, but i use a phone as a hotspot so that's not optimal for my teammates and myself. Plus, although i love a close lane battle or getting rekt but against a someone i could make a comeback with, i don't really want to be destroyed by higher elos.

Lower your expectations of your allies and play like you don't expect them to make obvious plays. Use pings more. Don't trust ppl that don't ping a lot. Don't try and argue play calls. Save play discussion for after if the game environment is civil enough, if not let it go you can't account for every new player or kid that gets on and doesn't love the competition like you. Mute button as soon as slander starts. Ask for more pings after you mute even if they're mean in response.

I have the same problem. Just takes an attitude adjustment to avoid what tilts you.

You're having an issue with randoms

You can not control 100% of the game, thats the root of the issue accept that not everyone agrees to a plan that is happening or that they have a different playstyle than your own

If nothing else begin to consider only 5 man queueing as you will only queue with people who think and act like yourself(so the hope is) and then find some voice chat and ensure the team is communicating verbally to relay info faster

If none of that works for you, accept its a game :D best of luck

Sounds like you need to find some calm. You can only control your actions and plays. You can try and talk civilly to your team. "ah man we could have taken them in that situation 3v2" instead of "wtf man we could have won why did you run". Sure it doesn't solve the past, but it let's the guy know two things. You are not trying to tear him down for his decision and you believe that as a team you can pull out the win. All things can be explained and worked together if you use correct language.

Learn to let it go. I spent sometime super frustrated about trolls and players playing poorly but I realized that worrying about their play and getting angry about it is not going to help. It's going to hurt me. If I'm focused on a play that went bad 5 minutes ago I'm not in the here and now to focus on the play I can make now. If you see something your team can do to win or make a move talk to them, but do so in a manner that is not condescending. "Hey let's make a play on baron can we get some wards in their red side. Let's go together. " "hey I'm going to split push and pressure them if they try to fight disengage". "he we have supers in the top let's push bot and force them to choose" Karma can you pick up a locket to assist with MR they are AP heavy. Tryn give us a chance to put some pressure on bot lane so you can split top without getting focused.
