How am I supposed to -not- get mad at the game?

Today I decided I might as well check out the Bilgewater Event, it was all fun enough (I love Black Market and the Bilgewater turret designs, I really do) until I started encountering those players. You know the ones.

After losing several matches because of those players, I just found myself furious and not enjoying the game anymore. Every LoL session ends like this. I'm not even sure why I play anymore. Every time I queue up I'm SCARED because I KNOW my team is going to feed and I'm gonna lose 20-30 minutes of my day, my good mood, my tolerance for mistakes and a lot of other things along with the match.

I'm honestly sick of it, I really am. I just want to enjoy the game, play the game I invested 3 years into without having to pull a Frieza and question how such a creature could possibly function, nevermind play a moba.

I know not everyone is such a massive rager as I am, I'm actually pretty sure I'm exceptional in that aspect. If anyone's got tricks to stay calm I'll gladly hear them. Playing with friends is not an option because everyone I know that plays LoL simply doesn't want to play with me because I rage at their mistakes too.

It's a game... I play teemo in that game mode and have fun with straight attack speed teemo. It's not ranked, it's a funny game mode where if you rage even at that level maybe you should go back to your Xbox. A lot of people won't go try hard in the fun gAme modes.

How about this - focus on YOUR mistakes. Get pissed at yourself. That will motivate you to fix up YOUR act and worry less about others, who you probably don't realize get mad at themselves too when they fuck up. DON'T BECOME ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS.

tell yourself 'fuk my team' and keep your concerns and goals oriented about self improvement rather than winning games

after abadd set of games i was like 'imma play toplane". what you dont understand is that of all the roles, i am hopeless on that island. I went DrMundo b/c, lock mundo when you pleases. Build straight tank vs a shitty gnar, was hardly winning lane, but i enjoyed myself. My friend saw me through the window of the library, bc thats the only place i can play, and he asked my why i had moba boots.

Because mundo goes where he pleases.

I basically played the game, not paying attention, not caring when i died, just throwing cleavers like it was my job, proudly killing gnar. It was fun.

Only when i was autoing the nexus i was like 'how did this happen?? How did we win??" It was surprising but it was nice.

Also, mute that dumbass enemy Bard if you have to, then troll him and know he is whining but you cant hear him

for someone like you id suggest before everygame starts to /mute all, and to start realizing that everyone has a bad game, and that the enemy team could simply have a good player, i dont care if you're a god midlaner if you're against faker you're feeding its nobodies fault they simply are out classed in the role they have, if somones doing badly GO HELP THEM do you really think most people will die twice and then suddenly come back? also if you flame your team obviously they have a higher chance to go on tilt making more fuck ups causing you to flame more, so when you flame your team its a double edged sword, just chill out focus on your game play theres always some scenario where you can still win (even if its small)
