I got banned. Please help.

Look, I'm not here to say I don't deserve the 2 week ban. If anything, I damn well know I do. Basically, what happened was someone on my team was feeding, having a really rough lane, and eventually just started running it down, at which point I was flaming the ever living shit out of him. I don't why, but something in me just snapped. It was as if all the rage from past games just suddenly resurfaced in one huge burst. I typically keep my mouth shut in fear that I might get banned, but this time around I just didn't give a fuck anymore. I'm so tired of constantly getting flamed by my teammates, or seeing somebody run it down, or having to play a 4v5 because somebody rage quit, or just whatever. I have been playing this game for 4 1/2 years, and this entire time I've just been stuffing down all these repressed feelings for the sake of avoiding the good ole ban hammer. Sure, it's only a 2 week penalty, but regardless, I have invested so much of my time and money into this game that I just can't afford to lose it. Not to mention some of my friends still play it, and playing with them never gets old. After having to play with so many toxic people, I think it's safe to assume that I myself have become toxic, and I hate that. There are times where I wonder if I should just sell my account and be done with it, but at the same time I feel like if I give up on this game I'm forfeiting a piece of myself. That said, I'm just curious what methods you guys use to keep from getting tilted. I really don't like the person this game has turned me into, and I think I could really use another perspective right about now.

Hello Yautja wannabe!

The methods I use to not tilt/flame:

If a player is flaming me or being toxic I do** /ignore (player name)**
If a player is Intentionally feeding I'll report him. I try not to feed the person intentionally feeding because that's what he wants. (Ever heard of feeding the troll?)
Take breaks.
Play with friends.
Use a stress ball.
Only worry about yourself if you are playing rank. Don't worry about your teammates. Espically if you are trying to improve.
/mute all if you are playing in a bad mood.
Get good sleep. (Varies to person to person on how much)
Play league when your in a good mood.

How to change your mindset and be a friendly player:

Compliment someone if they have a good skin.
Say good job if a teammate makes a good play.
Remember to have fun after all this is a game and it meant to be for fun.

Feel free to comment on this comment and add me I can teach you how to reform. I have one friend who has technically reformed. I mainly try to be super positive every game I play. I'm sorry you got 14 day ban. I hope when you come back you're less toxic. And if your down I'll be down to play with you on League of Legends.

The best way to stay zen is by taking nobody seriously, not even yourself.

From what I've heard toxic people or those with too big of a ego kind of hate playing with me while I take a lot of enjoyment out of their anger.

I guess it's not the most mature or the most social way to deal with this but honestly, I can't be bothered to take people's petty feelings or problems in an online game seriously.

I just want to say thanks to all of you who have commented. I'll definitely take this advice to heart. I just hope that I'll never have to endure another punishment again, because looking back at how I responded to that situation I feel really ashamed of myself.

Find the one redeemable player and focus your efforts on them. If it's the entire team then I usually just try to out perform them until the game ends.

Everyone is toxic naturally. We all have our thresholds.

If you are able to keep your toxicity out of chat, you are immensely less likely to get punished. Thus, moving your chat to third-party applications can allow you to say what you want without getting punished.

If you really think you have gotten out of control in real life as well, I recommend meditation. It helped me become calmer and more compassionate.

Better yet, just remove chat. Its easy, effective and non-harmful to anybody

No matter what people say, chat is useless and holds no meaningful value in determining whether you win or lose a game. I've done it, and it works fantastically

Be thankful, just walk away and play another game. Uninstall and know your life will be better off for it.

When I started to become frequently tilted, I took a 10-day break from League and that seemed to help me quite a bit

As someone who consistently lets other people know their feelings in game while never having ever been punished or even warned, the best advice I can give is watch your word choice. That is the one thing that usually gets people banned. Criticizing someone will never get you banned. Telling them they are doing something wrong or ruining your game will never get you banned. Cussing them out or telling them to go screw themselves or to uninstall will get you punished.

Basically, be polite about it. I don't mean ask them nicely to stop feeding with please and thank you. Screw that, they don't deserve that. I mean to be as cordial as possibly while telling them that what they are doing is wrong. The bonus part is that being friendly and nice while telling people that they are wrong pisses them off even more than cussing at them does. Sure they may flame you for being so nice while telling them off, but that'll only add fuel to their possible ban while keeping you safe from punishment. Honestly, I make a game out of how much I can piss them off without being rude myself.

TLDR: Don't cuss and be friendly even when they aren't friendly.

I remember that its a game meant to bring me joy and happiness and if it is bringing me neither I quit playing it.

I like to roleplay my champion when it tilted, playing Thresh and my ADC is running it down and flaming me for not healing them? (wut) I say "Well somebody needs to have a timeout in my box huh.." playing Zoe mid and top fed riven to 11/0? Instead of tilting, I say "Ah mortals, so weird sometimes. Good thing they have short lifespans!" I main Thresh Zoe and Neeko (already earned a mastery) so i love impersonating them. Whenever I get a kill with Neeko I say NEEKO NEEKO NIIIIIIII in all chat. Not to mention I'm a huge lore nerd so I love making "connections" in between teams. I can't resist locking in Zoe when the enemy picks space doggy or the dreamiest guy in the world [sg-jinx] (aka ezreal)
