I raged at my top laner today...

It's been a frustrating day overall, only to see your top laner 0/4/0 by 10 mins. I didn't say anything too bad, the worst thing I said was "at this point it would be better if you went afk." Needless to say, it wasn't one of my proudest moments. Why am I saying all this? Because it's easy to get caught up in this game and get mad and express that anger. However, I think we can all show some maturity and admit our mistakes and our low moments. Toxicity in this community won't go away. I mean, I hardly ever chat, and when I do it's for conversation or to say something positive, but I still ended up raging. Anyway guys, let's keep this community positive!

If you'd like to keep this discussion going post a moment where you were toxic or negative and show some penance!

I get really frustrated at my friend and girlfriend over their mistakes in tactics and positioning despite not being amazing myself. I often forget I have three years of experience and game knowledge to draw on when it comes to this game and they do not.

My gf got mad at me when I questioned why she has heal on Sorraka. She said because my q does always land. >.>

I told her just hide in the bush and q them for heals. I think she only used her ult once. -.- I love her, but I rage so hard inside.

I play with my gf and friends sometimes who have way less experience. I almost never get mad at them but when we play and we don't crush, I ALWAYS get so mad at myself for not carrying. I think it makes it less fun for them but I always feel so much pressure to carry them so they have a fun time and want to keep playing.

We are all so stupid sometimes!

How about a time when I really wanted to but didn't?

Champ select, second pick Hiemer claims support but takes flash tele (and then once in game grabs a dorans instead of a support item starter). Last pick leona I guess couldn't see chat and went bot lane. I went ADC.

Heimer got mad and claimed he wasn't leaving bot lane for anything. I really wanted to let him know that he didn't take anything supportive to help the ADC (me, btw), but instead I simply said, "Okay, I got mid then."

Not a word was said after that and the enemy team frustrated themselves trying to work around the broken meta. In the end the Heimer got his just desserts (0/4/3 or similar) and I carried the game hard at 15/1/something.

Not a word was said, everyone was offering to help every lane, Jungler actually got frustrated because mid didn't need him (me). In all it was the most fun ranked game I'd had in a really long time, and morale was high - even though we had a troll.
