I literally have thoughts of harming myself after losing, especially in a losing streak, it hurts so much, i wanna cry, break something i don't even know, i hate myself, i guess i'll unnistall league since games are supposed to be fun..
Many gamers (mistakenly) attach self worth to how good they are at "gaming".
First step is to be sure that's not the case for you. Second step is to evaluate your self confidence. If you are over critical of yourself then you must examine why. If you can't figure that out, then seek help from a mental health professional. They are excellent at helping to identify you delusions about yourself in relation to your self confidence.
Lastly ask yourself this, what is important to you? Then take steps toward what you identify.
If you want to progress you have to commit, which means going through a long periods of learning which involves failure. Identify what is leading to your losses and create a plan to improve it.
In that same vein are you pursuing all the avenues of improvement? Such as but not limited to coaching, reading guides, watch YouTube videos of higher rated players, reviewing your own games, putting hours of practice following up with hours of matches per day?
What are your goals for this game?
If none of that sounds appealing, that's okay! Find a few champs to enjoy and spam them in whatever mode you like.
Lastly, I've played chess for many years. The first year of playing at my local club was brutal. I lost every match I played for a year. But I love chess, I was determined to improve. I won my first tournament because of my failures at the club.
Hope this helps and hope you feel better. If you are as upset as you claim in your post take a long break. No game is worth your health.
Thanks everyone for the comments, i guess i'll take a break.

Stop playing League.
Simple as that. If that is how you feel in this game, you should IMMEDIATELY stop playing it for your own good, find people you can trust and talk to them about the matter.
Maybe you're new to ranked and still have ranked anxiety? I used to play ranked only when I was at my very best after a full night of sleep and took it very seriously. Now I do not even look at my lp or rank, because I genuinely don't care. The only reason I know when I'm in my promos is because it pops up on my screen and I get free autofill protect. The only thing I care about is whether I feel I didn't make too many mistakes and did good contributions for my team. My advice is to just keep playing like they're slightly more important than normals, you'll get used to it after a lot of games
Yeah dude. Uninstall please. You're taking the game way too seriously. It doesn't hurt when I lose... it sucks relative to winning.. But relative to my life, it is completely inconsequential. If it's not for you, you might have a mental illness... But I'm guessing you just have an ego that isn't kept in check because society today coddles everyone and is sensitive as fuck. No one ever says "oh you're mad? Tough shit, life ain't fair, deal with it" anymore. Instead its always accommodating the upset person because oh my God their feelings!! Poor angry kid :(
because you waste time (30mins-1hr) to play 1 game. this game blows play Hots
No clue. But I guess that's what makes the wins more rewarding.
It's funny (in an ironic way) how much video games such as league can teach us about ourselves in the real world.
Don't be too critical on yourself or others. It's not worth it. Keep your chin up :)
Okay, you honestly need to stop playing League. It shouldn't affect you that way, and that is NOT WORTH IT.
100% because of the time investment, just take a break for a while to untilt after losing
