How to deal with an asshole

League doesn't make me angry on its own. Of course I'm disappointed in loosing games, but i never rage. Its until I duo that it truly becomes an issue. I have a friend that always play with, and he's a cool guy, but he's an asshole in league. Every time we play, he becomes so toxic and rude on skype, not even as a joke. I just played a game where I actually raged for the first time. I can't believe I actually did this, but I got so fed up that I threw my headphones down and banged my head on the desk. I regret what I did, but it made me think. I don't want to cut ties with my friend, but he's such an asswipe. I don't know if I should just stop playing league with him because that's really most of what we do. I'm open to anything you guys say. :/

That sounds harsh of him to do. I would recommend taking a breather for a while, so no rash decisions are done (not that I'm saying you'd do any, you seem like a nice person <3), try to find a time to talk with him about how he's acting towards you in League and see what happens then. I know you don't want to cut ties with him, and I can respect that. But if it gets too severe even if after talking to him, it'd be best to tell him that you both need a break from each other and League for a while until he's ready to behave.

Hope I helped a little!

Don't play league with your friend. You need to tell him that it's affecting your gameplay and mindset. Maybe play norms if you guys have been playing Ranked. Tell him that he becomes a different person when playing League. He may not realize he's doing it unless someone tells him. Talk to him when you AREN'T playing League though. He needs to understand that if he wants to duo with you, there are "rules" he needs to abide by when playing league, or you won't play with him. Not as a power trip, but holding your ground. Let him know it is disrespectful to you as his friend as well as to his teammates and reason logically that raging/being toxic gets him nowhere (it doesn't profit/benefit, raging doesn't make your team play better it makes him/the team play worse). People play games to have fun and to get away from stress, not to stir up more of it.

is this a friend in real life or just on league?

if just on league... well unfriend him...

in real life... hmmm thats rough... tell him you cant deal with how he is .. and he is wrong for how he is in game... and if he dont change it you wont play any more cuz of how it effects you... and i would be friends still ( if it didnt ruin the friendship ) and just play league on my own with out them

My method is simple at the start of the call I say: flame and I am gone. If he flames I am out of that call and put skype on busy. If he flames in game I mute him. If he flames me in post screen I report him. If your friend takes shit that far you should just straight out ignore him for the rest of the game. There is no reason to misbehave like that.
