drugs, buddhism, healthmaxxing the rest of your life, specially your sleep hours. also just stop playing multiplayers its not worth it
are you playing ASShomosexualS?
a quick reminder that league and dota are not real RTS games, you are using a crutch (team) instead of classic RTS solo play
therefore, you, being competitive, should focus on competitive SOLO-only games, where the only responsible for your loss, is your own moronation
I lose when I do this and I'm still mad what next

I used to be like you. There are some easy fixes
>lose your ego and realize you're all trash at the game if you're not the top 1% of pros
>get so stoned/high you stop caring
>your entire self-worth is attached to your rank/performance in vidya. find something else to pour your time and passion into.
>mute both teams, pretend you're playing vs bots and stop giving a frick,
>play a chill pve game if you can't handle pvp while listening to asian qt's whisper in your ears (pic rel)
My favorite
>embrace the toxicity and just call everyone a stupid subhuman donkey and buy a new acc when you get banned
>>>lose your ego and realize you're all trash at the game if you're not the top 1% of pros
>>if you're not the top 1% of pros
Alright let me see what I have to say as someone who has been in the top 1% on several games, and/or at least the top 5%. As well as the top .1% or .01%+ on others. And that's not bragging, it just is what it is
>>mute both teams, pretend you're playing vs bots and stop giving a frick,
>But then you might as well just play against bots, right?
You're right, btw, in one way, it's just in the other way.. you might as well just play against bots, right?
The trolling/toxicity is just part of the game, always has been. On a good day you can tolerate it all day no problem, but on a bad day you're gonna flip your shit, doesn't matter how calm you are. I'm about as calm as they come and even I would have days where'd I'd flip my shit. As I got older that'd become more and more rare though
Prolly depends on the game at this point. League of Legends? Yep, prolly still lose my shit. WoW or any Blizzard game? Nah, kinda doubt it, definitely not WoW, I just have too many hours poured into that one. Prolly same deal with SC2, though that one is still possible if the person is a gigantic wienersucker
>It turns the game into work, a chore that I must dutifully put my time into, when there are so many other fulfilling and fun games I'd rather play depending on my mood in the moment
Are there really? lol
That's a serious question, btw, name the fricking games, I'm bored like a mofo
Now someone remind me to come back here and tell the story of our main tank breaking his keyboard in Molten Core.. later when I sober up I mean
Some people literally are unaffected by toxicity and teammates throwing, I doubt you are "as calm as they come" if you rage on a bad day
>Are there really? lol
>name the fricking games
It really just depends on my mood. My point is that if I'm feeling like I want to relax and play Dragon's Dogma, or Exanima, or heavily-modded Fallout 4, or any other single-player game, then I feel happy if I relax and just play whatever game I feel like, switching the game as my mood/interest changes. However, if I also want to "git gud" at any kind of competitive FPS or RTS or fighting game, then I can't just relax and play whatever game I feel like in my free time - I have to spend my free time practicing at the competitive game(s) instead, or I will just keep getting worse at them while everyone else who plays is practicing and getting better.
As we all know, winning isn't the only thing that makes competitive games fun, but if the only outcomes are either constant loss/failure or constant "training" to improve, then the only way to have a more balanced experience is to "put in the work" first. I don't know about how others feel, but I don't play games to feel like I'm working - I just want to fire up a game, relax and go on fun adventures, and feel/look cool in fictional worlds without having to train for that experience. This is why I generally avoid competitive multiplayer these days, unless it's one of those games where various factors can lead to almost anyone winning, instead of only those who "study the meta".

Yes, yes, now you're speaking my language.. lol
>As we all know, winning isn't the only thing that makes competitive games fun
Yeah we totally all know that, sure, sure
>I just want to fire up a game, relax and go on fun adventures, and feel/look cool in fictional worlds without having to train for that experience
Man, I can't even remember if there was ever a time that I actually did this. I know I have friends who say the same thing, and I kinda get it, you know? But like.. the fun part of video games to me IS taking it serious and putting in the work lol. And it's even relaxing to me, honestly
>This is why I generally avoid competitive multiplayer these days, unless it's one of those games where various factors can lead to almost anyone winning, instead of only those who "study the meta".
I'm pretty sure I'm out of the loop right now, I don't even know what's popular. LoL was too much for me, that's for sure. Too much stress, too many fricking rage-inducing wienersuckers, too much relying on your team. Dunno, not cut out for the straight up team vs team shit I guess
Now I could prolly go right back to WoW and play that shit 12 hours a day every day and love every second of it though lol

I just play singleplayer, or laugh about how shit I've gotten at videogames. If I want to do well I'll take a couple shots, shut my brain off and let my hands do the thinking for me but if I'm just burning time between chores or during the day it's just dumb fun.

I kind of feel you, OP. I literally can't stand competitive multiplayer games anymore.
I typically play video games for leisure and escapism - to relax, immerse myself in fictional worlds, and to feel/look like a cool adventurer/fighter/wizard every so often.
However, in competitive multiplayer, I just get way too fired up when I lose, because it makes me feel inadequate, weak, dumb, and literally stops me from having fun with the game until I respawn or the next match starts, leaving me to stew in negative emotions instead of just letting me get back on the horse and try again. It's even worse if the reason is because of a "skill issue" or lack of pre-determined knowledge of the game/mechanics/maps. It's worse because the only solution is to practice, obsessively and regularly, over the course of weeks/months, at just that one game alone, to finally start getting better (also at just that one game alone, not even developing more applicable, universal, or real-life skills). It turns the game into work, a chore that I must dutifully put my time into, when there are so many other fulfilling and fun games I'd rather play depending on my mood in the moment. However, if I don't practice, everyone else will just keep getting even better at it, so I will continue to lose, feel shitty, and eventually have no interest in the game anymore.
(2/2)
The worst part is - the "thrill" of winning doesn't even come CLOSE to the rage of being defeated. If anything, I just feel bad for the people I beat at these games, because I basically just forced them to stop having fun until they respawn or the next match starts. It feels kinda good when it's a player who was dominating (they don't lose often, so it's like balancing things out and humbling them, without forcing them to stop having fun as much), but those aren't the players I'm good enough to beat, unless I get very lucky and they aren't paying attention - it's usually just the less experienced/intense players that I can manage to beat, players like myself.
The only way I don't get hot under the collar about this shit is when I'm communicating with teammates who are also personal friends, that are also super chill and don't care about winning or losing. Hearing them being chill and having so much fun with it helps me re-frame things and not get all up in my own head about it. Otherwise, the only solution that I've found is to just play good single-player games that are either tailored to my preferred experiences, or single-player games that let me customize/choose my experiences based on my current moods/tastes.
>when I lose, because it makes me feel inadequate, weak, dumb, and literally stops me from having fun with the game until I respawn or the next match starts, leaving me to stew in negative emotions instead of just letting me get back on the horse and try again
Yeah that, just don't do that. Instead of being mad, just don't care.
Works like a charm.
Don't care lmao.
Whatever you're mad about, it's not important.
Hello, i've played a multiplayer competitive game for (unfortunately) around 8k hours getting reptty decent results. Getting mad is what prevents - partly - you from being good. You have to shift your rage from your teammates to yourself. Every time you want to get mad you have to ask yourself:
1) am i being the best player on my team?
2) if no then you don't deserve to get mad and should ask yourself "what am i doing wrong"? if yes, why am i not able to carry?
This will put you in a mindset that will constantly challenge yourself to become better and better.
Getting angry is not bad because showing any sort of emotion is better than staying silent since it shows that you care, and in a team environment this is very important, epsecially if you're building a team yourself.
If you want to leash onto somebody in your team though you have to be sure you are better than them in every aspect, otherwise you're just gonna look like a clown.
Also, most important thing, play with people that have your same mindset, otherwise you're gonna end up playing with people that don't give a frick and inevitably you're going to clash.
You could give up gaming and engage with reality
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
reality is unpalatable
I mean, while we're quoting famous children's book authors...
>“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Enjoying video games and, as you believe, "childish things" is fine, so long as you fulfill your adult responsibilities. Denying your true hobbies and interests out of the shame of perceived public opinion is what leads to mid-life crises down the road.
>I mean, while we're quoting famous children's book authors...
Are you referring to the Bible as a children's book? lol, I approve of this joke, anon, well played
>Some people literally are unaffected by toxicity and teammates throwing, I doubt you are "as calm as they come" if you rage on a bad day
I really really doubt anyone is UNAFFECTED
What do you call "raging?" Cause raging to me might just be that I actually take the time to go and mute the fricking butthole, you know? Or I respond to the guy once or twice lol
I guess non competitive people don't feel affected when for example their teammates threw every advantage the person put them in. The flip side is that they probably don't feel the same high from winning a close game
I also noticed the same though as I got older I rage less when I lose a game I was definitely supposed to win, so maturity plays into it too. You realize it's just a video game and you have other things going for you. It's sad when you see full grown adults screaming hysterically because you know it's all they have
easy, stop playing online with morons, it's just a bunch of morons in online games anyway.
or if you are felling daring, how'bout getting a life outside?
The games suck play minecraft it has literally millions of mods which turn it into the best game ever made PLAY MINECRAFT
Stop playing online or stop playing ranking/ladder bullshit, as that's just rage bait and entirely designed for you to really get into it
Play old chill games with server browsers and in chill servers where nobody cares that much. Unfortunately a lot of these are really old and more or less only have oldgays that are amazing in it left. Matchmaking really did a number on the remaining TF2 servers
