If you aren't in a good, positive, constructive mood to start with, don't play. If you are in a bad mood, then things going wrong during a game are likely to make you feel worse, but if you are in a good mood to start with, you are more likely to be able to respond constructively (even when things go wrong), help your team, and pull off a win.

Also: expect your team to be competent, not incompetent (because if you expect them to be incompetent, they will live up to your expectations). Assume everyone in the game is an exceptional player (better than you), and that everything they do has a reason, it just might not be a reason that you are enlightened enough to think of yet. Also, reverse your thinking: if someone on your team dies a few times, it isn't because they are a terrible feeder who is wasting air, it is because the person who killed them is an excellent player who is having the game of their life (and you have to respect someone playing well like that, even if it is at your expense).

For serious.

"If it kills you, you aren't actually better then it. If you were so good, it wouldn't manage to kill you. Practice and improve. Anyone two steps ahead is immune to people hanging two steps behind."

^ good quote, this has happened before but I am not worried about winning or losing per se. I rage more so when I try to tell people to play defensively or I try to get us to group and they won't etc..

I don't rage at FB. I made up for their double death at bot by coming down immediately and got an easy kill off morganna. It was consistently after that was it getting annoying they kept dying and I tell them to play Defensively.. and I started getting angry :S.

@ frosted bubbles -
2. got the water and it helps slightly but sometimes.. not always
3. I was good for a long while then I donno this month/week somehow.. super rage
4. I should probably do this..

I'll probably do an all of the above, thanks for the reminders of it's a game.. have to think of it like that.

water music.. yup appreciate the help everyone. (also I don't like to ignore ally because we can't communicate any team plan even if I don't like a person we sometimes come through in the end.. same reason I don't rage quit on people. Quitting on people is not my style, you shouldn't quit life because you don't like somebody.. same thing)

I tell myself, "It's just a game."

Then cry in a corner.

I know what you mean, but hey what can you do? Most people may/will not listen to you... When that happens I just sigh and move on.


It is just a game after all.. try to have fun with it.

Masterbate while you play, that's what I do to help from raging. It usually helps to have a sexy champion to touch yourself to like Miss fortune or teemo.

Take a break. Go a few days without LoL. Also, humor helps. When I'm Alistar I tend to "Moo." a lot in all chat, also make references to grazing and bovine-power a lot. Tends me make me care less if my team does poorly.

ignoring chat doesn't let you ignore the stupid **** your team does. Really, what makes me rage is when my team does stupid things. Not when they talk. Unless they say stupid things too. lol.

This game is unhealthy for me...

I need a break

You say it isn't your personality in RL. Apparently it is since you are raging over a game, man and calling people baddies. Honestly, if your rage gets that bad, stop playing for while.
