Don't want to be toxic, but everything makes me mad?

So, I really like League and play it everyday but lately everything about it has been making me mad. Like assassins being able to just instakill you (talon, etc) Lucian being really OP. I don't really want to get mad at league because I don't want to get banned but I cant help it and sometimes I rage. I try turning off all chat but it usually just ends up back on and me getting mad. Any ideas on what to do? Should I just take a break from league all together?

Probably both in all honesty.

If you're raging in all chat, that tells the enemy to focus you and poke you and make that rage turn into a rage quit (especially in ranked).

Taking a break helps A TON. Go for a run. Punch a punching bag. Do something to get all the rage chemicals out of your system and clear your head.

Work on not getting super pissed off if you can too. I try to listen to really chill music (reggae/classical) while I play. Helps keep me from losing my cool.

Hope that helps!

i get pretty mad too but after each game i wait a minute or two and look at the stats while talking with friends about what we can do to try and improve next game

Scream and curse at the computer screen.... Leave your fingers out of it. And if you're using headset take it off. Remember it's just a game and unless you're a professional gamer there is no money on the line. Be kind, it's better for everyone involved.

Also i concur with the person who mentioned looking at your match history... Go over the stats and see where you did win in the game. I always take pride in my warding! Hope this helps.

Grow up and realize outside of pro-level play it's just a game. You're supposed to be having fun.

If you're not.. you can count on people making dumb plays. You can trust that they'll do stupid shit. The only thing in this scenario you can personally is how you react to it.

Master the reaction to the input and you will master the resulting output.

If you really get that upset every day you need to stop for a week or so and come back fresh. The first 2 years i played league i was a horrible rager, it's a miracle i didn't get banned. How did i stop you ask?

There comes a point in time where you need to decide if it's truly who you are as a person. If it's truly what/who you are as a person to rage, flame, troll and get angry every day of your life from things outside of your control. I decided that wasn't who i was and i have rectified my situation by probably 95%. Sometimes my teammates stupidity gets the better of me and i have to point it out to them, but it's 1/100 games. I'm sorry for that 1/100th game but nobodies perfect.

Another thing i do if i'm feeling a little frustrated is i vent about things towards no specific person, or just towards myself. I'll just say things like "Damn this lucian." or "i'm so upset i fed that caitlyn" or something to that effect.

Additionally, if you're having a bad day already, or a day that even just seems weird/off in some unknown way, DO NOT PLAY. I make this mistake SO OFTEN and last night i had a 1/100th game and i hate it.

Take a break.

Play with friends.

Mute everyone in YoloQ and pretend it's a bot game.

Turn off all chat permanently in your game menu. Never type anything unless it is telling your team mates good job or a brief urge in the right direction.

It took me a while to be able to handle a loss without being angry. You'll get there, just hang in there and try to focus on how you can improve. Good luck!
