So I have this unhealthy habit in reaction to toxic people in my games. I won't describe it here, as every post I've made about it gets deleted by a mod and I get a message instructing me to seek professional help. I have been trying to find professional help with this issue for a while, but all of the psychiatrists I talk to just tell me to quit playing League (no), or just make an effort not to be so affected by the hateful comments (can't do it).

Serevas1 votesMove your chat off the screen so you don't see them, or instantly mute everyone in the game. There's also a way to turn all chat off in the settings somewhere if you find most of your problems come from the opposing team.
SteelMankind1 votesmuting people doesnt really work since you can still see their thousands of ? or "respawning in X seconds" pings. The ideas about moving the chat box are interesting, but it puts me at a disadvantage since then I can never know when an enemy champion has flash or not.

If anything this will have to so with you if you arent up for the suggestions, If anything this is what I do. Ill rage every so often, but I never make it over board and put it into real life situations or do harm to my stuff. Im fine myself being slightly toxic aslong as I can tell myself to cool down and remember its a game. Being toxic will only make you more and more toxic. If its gets to a very critical point work-out, listen to some music, go for a walk. Anything you can do to relieve anger is the best choice.
SteelMankind1 votesYou misunderstand...I never type anything back. It's what I do to myself after the game ends that keeps getting my posts deleted.

Then don't expose yourself to it. Your professional help is right -- if you're somehow harming yourself or anything remotely like that due to playing League; you should stop.

I'm really wondering why it affects you that much (tbh), I get the problem now, but if it's that bad I would completely suggest what your psychiatrists recommend. If you can't then it'll only get worse unless you can take the other bits and pieces of advice. Just my opinion, and remember it's just their rage, it shouldn't have that much affect on you. If it doesn't seem that violent then the game is not suited for you.

Telephone Booth1 votesGet a life. I don't know man. It's just a game. I can't see how someone would have that big of a problem with anonymous strangers online. If you make an effort in real life to make friends, get a job, get a girlfriend, stay busy, you won't think of league as such a big deal. Maybe start working out. Whenever I play league after I work out, nothing affects me. I just can't be bothered with immature insults when I know I just ran my ass off and worked an 8 hour shift. It's so inconsequential to me because I have more important things to worry about. You know, real life things.
If you continue to put so much focus on video games, you're gonna find yourself depressed. But you won't be too depressed to do anything about it, because you have league as an escape. It's a dangerous spiral. You'll have moments where you feel like a piece of shit and ask yourself "what am I doing with my life?" ...but then you'll load up league of legends and distract yourself from your real problems. So you won't ever do anything about it because you will always have league to fall back on. It's not healthy man. Find something else to live for, and your frustration with league will become silly to you. You'll find yourself having good games, which make you happier, and when you have bad games, you won't rage and get so frustrated. It's a win win. You have to address the problem, not just find solutions that cover it up. Don't just turn your cheek to the underlying depression that results in absolute rage when things don't go your way in a video game.

Never understood this perspective. It's not like the people telling me to kill myself or saying I have mental disabilities are bots; they're real people who hate me so much, they go out of their way to ensure that I cave in to my self-harm impulses. I don't see the difference between that and someone IRL saying those things to me.
