Don't play this game if you're having a bad day

I made the mistake of trying to play League of Legends today while I'm in a depressed mood. I use games and movies as distractions from the pressures of life. Life is a roller coaster. Things go up and things go down.

Playing this game while down can just destroy your soul. Maybe it's just the nature of online gaming these days, I don't know, but the level of childish toxicity that exists here is beyond crushing. Between people trolling, not communicating, or ditching games, it's just been unbearable today. Not every day is like this, but bad behavior is hardly abnormal.

I don't have any suggestions. I don't know what can be done about it. I don't know why I'm even typing this. Just venting I guess. Time for a break.

If you're not having the best of days, I suggest finding a different way to waste time.

I agree. After a long day, I'm like, "ok, time to sit down and play a game of League." I am met by players that just want to troll all game.

I suggest going to the gym or something like that lol.

Doing something actually productive will make you feel much better, because you can look on what you did as an accomplishment. League games are a gamble, and like gambling it can leave you in a worse state than you were before.

I suggest doing something like a hobby and setting a goal; try drawing, painting, playing an instrument and learning a song/tune, going to the gym, reading a book, fixing that thing in your house that's been bugging you, talk to that girl you think is cute, try that new pizza place in town - ALL better options that won't leave you as disappointed as a bad game of League.

It also depends on how you approach the game. I'd certainly not suggest ranked if you're having a bad day. The pressure is just going to make things worse. But I find it kind of cathartic to go play norms and play something different and not worry about the results.

Don't you feel a little better though seeing that there's people more miserable than you? People who get super upset over video games and rage over them? Like a sigh of relief knowing that at least you're not that lame? Try looking at it that way :D
