I need some help

Whenever I play a game, I tend to usually have a lot of fun. Whether playing with friends or by myself. However, lately, I find myself getting upset over even the petty stuff. I know I am tilted, I know that it's wrong, but I don't know how I can fix this issue. It's been going on for the past two weeks. I don't want to give up playing a game that I love, only because I'm finding ways not to enjoy it. Looking back at it, I actually find it funny that I am tilted on a game that I don't play to win, but rather play to have fun. At the same time, I find it sad. What are some things you guys do to unwind? To unravel the tension you've built up? Please don't list the common thing of "Just stop playing". As it may sound contradicting to some, I don't want to stop playing. This is the only game I can play with friends since I'm on a limited internet source (Sat. internet: 30GB a month, due to location). Don't know if I should mention this or not, but since I moved, I have no friends near me. No one around me is near my age. I moved into a community that consists of an age gap of 50+ years. So going outside to hang with friends is a no-go. I do go on hikes and draw to help clear my head, however that doesn't seem to be helping any. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Even more thanks if you list some suggestions!

TL/DR: Tilted, wanting to know ways on how you cool off.

To untilt myself I have learned that playing arams helps quiet alot. Not that many flamers there.

Also how do you not have 300+ms with satellite internet ?

you can also try to play some offline games like osu or something to remove tilt. [zombie-brand-clap]

Take a break from the game.

Like Elo Trash, I play ARAM. Right now, I'm also trying to play Invasion, though I'm having to play on a mobile hotspot because I too just moved, and it keeps bugging out on me, so it's hard. But if your internet can survive invasion, then it's pretty fun, and I haven't seen a single flamer in any game I've played.

I also have one other secret for unwinding.... but if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone else or laugh at me. I make custom bot matches, with me and 9 bots. I give the enemy team 5 intermediate bots, and my team gets 2 intermediate bots, 2 beginner bots and me. And then I proceed to keel them all. No, seriously. I do. It's how I work on mechanics for new champions, and it lets me play League, without any stress whatsoever. No one will laugh at me if I miss a cs, or fail a flash, I can try any flashy plays and go as ham as I want to. As long as I exit the match before the nexus explodes, it doesn't show up in my match history, and no one knows about it. I probably have hundreds of games with Diana that nobody knows about! BWUAHAHAHAH! Ahem... Sorry about that. Evil laugh just slipped out. But seriously, I was in a very similar situation, with no friends nearby, and League was my only real way to unwind aside from reading, crocheting and drawing, and I would come home from my incredibly awful job so stressed out that I couldn't even think straight. I didn't want to deal with toxic brats, and I would get progressively more and more disillusioned until I began to dread logging in, because of how much I knew I wouldn't enjoy having to deal with those people if my friends weren't online. So, I found my own way to play. I tweaked the champions that I loaded up against, and how hard I set them to make it more challenging, and then I just did my own thing. And after a few weeks of that, I began to enjoy League again. Now, I don't find myself being tilted anymore. Though I do still play the occasional bot match. But I won't tell if you don't. ;)

Masturbate or get masturbated.
