I can't stop myself from raging at teammates

Ezcru·1/28/2015, 5:15:51 AM·3 votes·2,809 views

I don't even care if we lose. I am frustrated that I cannot leave the game without penalties. I've tried it before, it goes up to 20 minutes low priority queue for matchmaking and then I'm pretty sure the next step is being temp banned (haven't gone that far).

I am frustrated because I see things that shouldn't be remotely possible. Dying to Nasus 1v1 at lvl 2. Dying to Akali pre-6 as Lux, Zed, Xerath, etc. Thresh support without runes so he gets 3 shot at level 2. The ADC I'm supported is standing still and autoing minions, nami gets 4 bubbles off in a row before lvl 3 and they die. I just have to say something edgy. But the thing is, I'm not wrong with what I say. They die again in the same stupid manner again and again.At that point I used to just leave the game. Now I'm forced to bite my tongue because of chat restrictions, that makes me rage even more.

I'm not a mean person in real life. My insults in-game are not of a personal or vulgar nature, more of a "you're bad" line of insult. But to be honest this is the worst insult you can throw because everyone has a superiority complex (or should I say, insecure) so they instantly deflect it and start attacking me, even though they are bad. Its just that its so fking true that it must be false, otherwise they have to accept shame and responsibility (something most ppl this day and age hate to do).

If I don't say anything and we lose, I just feel deflated. Its like life is out of my control and unfortunately, life is sucking real hard. I end up leaning back in my chair, stretch out my arms and feebly alt-f4 out of the game once the defeat sign shows.

• Couple things. • Never play to win (even though you say you dont care. i dont believe you) • Never think you play better than others. (Be humble) • Communicate strategys with your team. • Dont get mad when team mates make mistakes or have bad games because you probably have them too (Instead say things like "We'll kill them next time!" "You died because you forgot to use your zhonyas, dont forget you have it! lol xD") • Stay positive. • Congratulate team mates for good plays ("Gj" "Well done!" "Good baron") • Play to improve yourself • Realize you cant improve other players, you can only improve yourself • Focus on your play and your mistakes! NOT your team mates mistakes!

Try to turn the "you're bad" comments into constructive criticisms. Instead of "noob jg," be like "when you get a chance, can I get a gank? No rush..." There are a lot of ways to be "tasteful" with your negativity.

Leaving a game makes you worse than players who may simply be facing more skilled players.

Why shouldn't those things be possible? Even professional players die to MINIONS. A first time player is arguably still more of a threat than minions. Both will mindlessly attack you, but one has a higher damage output and takes more hits to kill.

So Nasus hasn't reached godstacks at level 2. His lane opponent might have gotten creepblocked while low health and Nasus saw an opportunity. You'd leave a game because he scored an early kill?

Akali may not have the best aggression pre-6, but her shroud can cause wasted skillshots, and the only mid you listed with any mobility is Zed. Again, even professionals make bad plays (xPeke's got a pretty notorious one, and he knows it's hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrgCoWBl4r8 ). You'd leave a game because Akali managed to get an early kill?

News flash: this is real life. Just because you're playing a game doesn't mean your playmates aren't real people (unless they're bots, but that's a whole other mess altogether). If you're mean to them, then you're pretty much a mean person in real life. Why insult people in the first place? Why do you think it's "necessary" to tell them they're bad? I'm going with the professional player analogy again simply because these are people who have proven that they are in the top percentile of players. If WildTurtle loses his lane in a game, does that make him bad? Bear in mind that he is objectively better than you are since he has had multiple accounts concurrently at the top of the NA rankings. Being "good" doesn't mean perfect plays every game.

If I don't say anything and we lose, I just feel deflated. Its like life is out of my control and unfortunately, life is sucking real hard. I end up leaning back in my chair, stretch out my arms and feebly alt-f4 out of the game once the defeat sign shows.

To be honest, it sounds like a team game is not for you. Back to the previous statement: your playmates are real people. If you feel the need to belittle people for not playing well, you are not a team player. You sound like if you're losing, the only two things that make the game worthwhile for you are insulting your teammates and ragequitting. Both of these are reportable offenses for a reason.

If you absolutely must vent your frustrations about "bad players," find yourself a friend. Bitch to him. Go all out, make insinuations about mothers, and how many of your teammates' siblings you have illegitimately fathered. You'll feel better. Just don't insult people in game or in chat. Keep it between you and your friend. Putting 4-9 other people in a bad mood doesn't help anyone (and yes, a lot of us feel bad for the person on the other team who has someone dumping on him for not performing well).

I actually like solo queue, way more than ranked. Every time I do ranked, I get stressed out, I can't play the roles I'm good at, my game crashes (which only happens for ranked), or I have raging feeders/trolls who yell at the team every time some1 dies when they themselves are 1/6/0. I go on solo queue and I can relax, play any role I want and I actually find that there are less leavers on solo queue then ranked. Not only that, but because the games aren't ranked, nobody rages because they are just like "oh its not ranked, its all good bro." Yes, sometimes you are matched with really bad or really good players which can be unfair, but solo queue as a whole is much better than ranked.

PS: Long live Ahri - anna Grande even do she nerfed

If you're doing solo que, you're doing it wrong. Every time I solo que, every other lane loses. The matchmaking is horrendous. Do a duo que that way not every other lane loses. You can still win with two lanes losing. Just need one less braindead player on your team

I have a similar problem and I know it is hard to not rage. You should watch Imaqtpie's stream where he stresses that it doesn't matter how bad your team is. If you are in low elo where you have bad teammates, then your enemy is likely just as awful. If you are at the level where people are dying to Nasus level 2, then you should be able to 1v3 the enemies. Also, the more times you call yourself out on a bad play, the less likely you will be to notice a teammate's bad play. If you die in a 2v2 don't think about the half dozen things your partner did wrong. Think about the 2 or 3 things you did wrong that could have won the fight in spite of your partner's sub-optimal play.

Just today I saw him die to an ignite as a Janna wasted her last bit of mana on a tornado that missed instead of shielding him. Other people were like wow wtf Janna, but he was just like "nah it is my fault that I relied too heavily on a random solo queue player to play 100% perfect. Probably shouldn't have been so deep at low health or something."

The cold hard truth is that some people are bad and they may be noobs. so how about you help them instead of saying that they are bad. instead tell them a way to improve their gameplay. i was that idiot adc at one time and sometimes still am until my support actually told me how to do a certain thing and literally helped me. Sometimes they're not informed on certain ways to do things. oh and pinging the shit outta an enemy wont help either cause i didn't know what pings did until i was level 25. But i catch your drift.

I am sadly the same way. The thing is, I don't even care if we lose. I don't even care if someone is just bad. I get mad when people are stupid. Like being 0-3 and trying to dive your 3-0 enemy. It's just stupid. Ending the game 1/12 is not "having a bad game", it is being a dick about it. That is far more toxic than chat considering you can just mute people.
