Buy a cheap hand mirror from a grocery store and put it near your computer desk. When you feel the urge to flame, before you do so, look the mirror and repeat this:

“Hi my name is (your name), I like to get angry and yell at little boys in video games. Aren’t I special?”

If you still think flaming is worth it after that, hand in your man card.

There are no tips or tricks that will help you here. This is a you problem, and honestly I'd recommend taking a step back and avoid competitive games while you figure this one out. Emotional control is something some people have to work on, and constantly putting yourself in a high emotion situation is not going to help you.

Have you ever thought about why exactly you flame so much and if you are toxic from the getgo or need a trigger? I mean this as a serious question because it seems like you're not the typical "I throw a tantrum over a video game" type of flamer. Do you flame because you get angry at your teammates when they mess up? It's normal to get annoyed and some people feel the need to become verbally toxic because of that but if this scenario is the case and it's really as severe as you say it is then you're probably having anger issues that need to be solved via a therapist or anger management. Do you flame because you enjoy the drama? I know somebody who LOVES to create drama between people so he becomes super toxic just because he indulges himself in negativity. It's like a thrill to him. Or do you flame because you like to debate? I'm not trying to sound therapeutic or anything but maybe you need to find out the cause for your toxicity first in order to be able to fix it. For now the best thing you can probably do is step away from League for a while.

before giving proper advice i need some information: age and occupation mental or physical disorders of any kind?

but aniway, do some pushup/pullups/punching bag sessions between games to unload your fury fitness solves 90% of your problems

It sounds like you need therapy or something. Because if you're doing it on here it also means you're probably doing it in real life too.

If you can't imagine yourself saying these exact things to people in real life then you should probably stop, but its ok though, some people are just born for the sole purpose of supplying humanity with their seemingly infinite reserves of salt through a video game.

idiots wont stop playing the game. feeling the need to type to those idiots is a urge really. personally i lost my flame for this game because of them. so once that happens youll be less likely to flame because you just dont care anymore.

It helps to remember that it's not our place or right to punish our fellow players, that's Riot's job. So if your teammates do something stupid, instead of trying to make a snappy insult, just talk about what can be done next time to prevent the problem.

For example: Instead of, "WFT you idiot you pushed without vision?" Try, "if we ward next time they won't be able to catch us unawares." by using the future tense, it will keep the person focused on what needs to be done. The less you argue about something that is already done and can't be changed, the better off you will be.

I just mute all as soon as I get in a game. Works every time and makes me play better too. If they start spam pinging I mute that too.
