I play by the same rules I have for gaming around a table top in my living room. I don't do or say anything I wouldn't do or say to a friend or guest who had come over to my house to play D&D, or Monopoly, or Pokemon. I don't tolerate anything from other players that I wouldn't tolerate in that same situation. It should not be difficult for people playing a video game to have fun and remain civil.
I grew up in arcades, playing games a hundred times more difficult than any game in 2016 will ever be, and no one ever raged. Well, once and while someone would flip out and punch a machine that took their quarter. But this whole concept of your mood being dependent on the last five minutes of game you played, and then, worse, inflicting that mood on people around you, is both repulsive and repulsively self indulgent. It's something you only find in people who were raised by their xbox. People who were forced by neglect to replace their parents' love with an achievement system, and thus derive all their self worth from an imagined ability to make their xbox daddy proud. It's crushingly sad, but the sooner those poor internet orphans are forced to civilize for the real world, the better. For them, and for us.
Because, really, think about it. If you can't maintain composure through a bad game of League of Legends, what hope do you have of ever navigating the trials and tribulations of real life in the third dimension? You don't do people any favors by leading them to believe that their tantrums and abusive behavior are in any way normal, or acceptable.
