Shane Rooney Interestingly I do find people rage a lot less on the Chinese server, but that's probably because they talk to each other a lot less too. KS'ing is also completely fair game and no one ever complains about it, and in ranked I've not yet seen people bitching about not getting a certain role i.e. "Top or feed". They just respect the pick order and do what needs to be done. All in all I much prefer playing on the Chinese server than EUW
when I learn Chinese I will be able to confirm that claim. ^_^ although, I can say that I never had any ping-rage against me when I stuffed up. So I am inclined to believe you.
i remember 6 months ago when i first started ranking i was put in bronze I. i raged at teammates a lot and i never bothered to learn how to improve. thanks for your tips on climbing elo. your jungle guides are so insightful because you always discuss how to "read the mind of the enemy jungler". your conceptual play is amazing. im a proponent of what foxdrop says, climbing out of elo hell is definitely possible, you just need to work like you mean it. bronze I->plat 5, keep up the good work!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i cant play renekton or shyvana :(
This is a very helpful video. Not just for league, and not even just for video games in general, but also for real word confrontations. I appreciate it.
Lul'z me too i got so much headache cause of those raging teammates that are constantly saying Mid or Feed .. Im trolling enjoy lose ... Are even when someones else lose his lane and the jungle is like ' pfff you are too far behind just afk' or even when jungle is like Afk farming and even dont aplies map pressure
Tips when I use to play CoD. These tips were thought up by me and used them in the 4 years of playing online. 1. Chew chewing gum. I have no idea why, but it helps you concentrate and keeps you from boiling. Also makes your talk less. 2a. Take an hour break and watch a TV show or movie that you like. Make sure this is not on your computer where you play CoD/LoL 2b, Chuck some food in the microwave and have a nice meal. Most times when I am angry, it is because I had not eaten properly. Same with fluids. 3. If you have a car, Just drive for 10-15 minutes. This helps with anything. I do this when I'm clouded with homework. 4. Avoid playing when tired. I refuse to play games when tied since it will frustrate you because you're not doing as good than you usually do. Take a nap before hand. 5. Make a scenario in your mind that you have been kidnapped and if you lose or go bad, you will be murdered. I rarely did this, but it's funny because it works.
Very well made video! I actually take everything you mentioned in this video to mind already. It's nice to see it made into a video for the community to see. When I do rarely get upset during a game, I don't even take it to the keyboard. I feel that more people need to just keep their feelings to themselves, and this game will be so much more enjoyable! Great video!!
So i started bronze 2 in Season 3 and was 800 elo last season (extremelyyyyyy toxic). After watching some of your videos they gave me better perspective and I thank you for that Foxdrop. I have since climbed to Gold 3 mainly using your videos as guidance.
I can take it when people feed... But when they say: ''I have mouse problem'' or whatever then i get mad beacsue... WHY THE HECK DOES THEY PLAY A GAME WHEN THEY HAVE A COMPUTER PROBLEM???
Dude I respect you so much. Look people try to make videos about getting better at league and how to remove tilt. Play to improve, not to win. Is the best advice ive ever gotten like ever.
I raged at other people at first. I don't understand it myself, from my current perspective, it was very illogical. I learned to stop raging in general, and the rare times i rage is at myself rather than others.
Upon that though, raging at yourself can be just as bad. You start to feel as if you can't play league well enough, you can get depressed, and negatively influence your play mechanics as much as with anger.
I'd just like to say that this has really helped me a lot and generally made me a better person and LoL player. Today I came close to never playing this game again because of series of lose streaks, and you encouraged me to keep trying.
#3 can be counter-productive. Say the enemy team was trolling you and being successful. You're getting dominated by these dickheads who don't really even care about the game. When you picture them in real life, laughing, it doesn't help your mentality at all.
I like the last tip about playing to improve rather than playing to win. Lately I've been watching replays after every game to see where I could've played something out better and often I find many many mistakes but I've also noticed that some games are more or less impossible to win. If I only wanted to win I'd probably be despondent after a series of games like that, but since I have the replays I can recognize the futility of that goal and instead prepare for more winnable games. Great video.
i just got to bronze 3. I used to only play ranked, cuz the trolls in normals are even worse than the ranked ones. I dont even rage..ill say something like "can i get a gank top, this guys been pushing all game" and the jungler will snap and say "i cant be everywhere at once!"...Its hard to speak with reason in bronze tho..cuz everyone in bronze doesnt think they deserve to be there. They all think they are hidden gods of the game. Im in bronze cuz i played ranked when i didnt really know the game..and im dealing with it. Do i think im better than bronze now? Duh, hence why im getting out of it. Ive been watching your vids tho, your jungling ones. So ive been maining jung, wukong and skarner. All people do is snap on the jungler, lol.
Okay first off. Wukong does not have any cc besides his ult. That means you are relying on your team to take tanks which in bronze nobody does. If you have Lee Sin use him since he can go full ad full tank and anywhere in between he is one of the few junglers who can buy a sightstone without the support thinking thats a message of -'You are not warding enough' (everybody is so easily offended). Also tips for crushing low elo- Go early game champs in most roles. Starting an early game snowball crushes the moral of players making them give up before the 20 min mark. Also push obj 24/7 people not grouping and split pushing takes low rankings off guard. Thats all I got cya.
Ben Wall Wukong can catch anybody off guard when ganking...he goes invis. He can chase for days, and tower dive at level 2. His mobility is awseom if you last his with your e. and if you max your q rather than your e, you can hit for about 200 at level 3, and the cooldown is 3 seconds. Wu is a fighter and an assassin. You can leave your w ina camp with low health and move onto the next one early. He can solo drag at level 9 if built right. And he can escape from almost any situation. I dont rely on my teammates to take tanks..And red buff gives you cc. And the game isnt about kills, its about tower, wu is great as pushing people out of lane, and getting towers. Hes a different play style, not a bad one. thx tho. And i do have lee, i dont like using him. Ps i have over 700 games plays in ranked, im not a noob, i just get trolled.
Dougal Skanes Hi, i won't argue with anyone here, i just want to add some facts : 1. I think at the moment wukong is a better jungler than skarner, simply because he needs no items to be tanky and deal damage and still is more usefull than skarner in teamfights with his ult... 2. Wukong mobility is awfull... he has like 1 targeted gapcloser, which is only on enemys... this is pretty bad xD (i should add that this is not that much of a problem, i do play Elise a lot, and she hasn't much mobility either) and still he has like 1 escape which is not really a gapcloserbut can be quite awsome 3. @ Ben Wall yeah, i guess earlygame champs do work really well in bronze due to bad gold income and due to no / not much knowledge about the champions and what they're supposed to do... 4. Jungler don't need CC... they don't even depend on their team, just walk infront of the enemy with Redbuff and attack him, walk infront of him... it's that easy, and when your team doesn't listen or doesn't help, ping! (or do ur shit alone [only to those who REALLY KNOW THIS GAME AND THE CHAMPS!!!]) 5. This game is about knowledge, people just don't understand... it's like chezz, as teamgame , but noone down thinks he self is bad, just that his team did shit... maybe they had an idea what they do... maybe you just didn't understand... or maybe they just play this game for fun, what is also one of the things player should do, if they don't play to improve.... Thats all for today -- a Platin 2 player --
relrax bösel wus e targets in and aoe, i rush a hydra on him after my golem. If built right early he dominates multi enemy rights all games. Golem, ninja tabai, taimat, and brutalizer. Thats my core like level 13 id say. Counter jungling is an essential thing if you wanna pull this off tho. And ganking regularly, even if its just running through and scaring the laner. The pressure levitation from your laners gives you more opportunity to farm the jung, and the enemy jungler less opportunity to gank. In bronze anyhow. I dont run through the middle of the lane when i play with my gold and plat buddies lol. All you need to win in bronze in more confidence then the other players, cuz most really dont know what they are doing yet.
Listen, I got Bronze 3 as well, people just need to be patient about things, and there is no point in getting angry, which can keep you level, and the game wouldn't matter a week from it too :3
how to stop ragers. be the biger person. take that anger from the mid laner and instead of the midlaner raging at the jungler for doing a bad gank because he took the kill. make your midlaner hate you, make him turn against you and he will get off your junglers back. i have been doing this for a while and its been working out for me. make love NOT war
Foxdrop ur gonna have to make a whole other video just for when teemo rages. Because teemo's hidden passive causes even the calmest LCS players to smash their moniters.
Taking a long break is definitely helpful to prevent you from raging further. Before I took a 9 month break from LoL ( my GPU overheated and spoiled ), I was raging all the time. People flaming at me, trolls, feeders... These just ticks me off. And I usually get into an argument with my teammates. However after that 9 month break I found myself more relaxed and calm. Idk how it will work on you, but it's definitely worth the try. Remind yourself that this is just a game, there's definitely people who plays better than you. Why spoil your body over a game? Getting mad is bad for your health. Accept the fact that your opponent is better than you, and realize your mistakes and improve. You can try this technique to calm yourselves down. Pat your chest ( not too hard ), take deep breaths and count starting from 1. Stop until the anger goes off. If your teammates are raging at you , mute them. Enemies getting too cocky and arrogant in chat? Mute them. Mute button is your best friend. Best way to stop raging is to uninstall LoL. Problem solved. Explore other games, LoL isn't the only game in the world.
Fox, dude. I think i fuckin' love you man. I'm going to forward your entire back catalogue to my team. Love your vids, love your attitude, even love ya shitty little nunu joke. All the best.
I am notorious among my friends for raging heavily. Honestly, it really kills the fun for everyone when I start yelling over Skype that Riven is broken, ignite didn't go off, etc. etc. Your tip on playing to improve, not playing to win was actually brilliant. You were absolutely right. Playing to win is what causes most of my anger, so that helped me out immensely. Thank you
As someone who rages themself (not proud to admit it) this was very eye opening to me. I feel like 60% of my loss comes because I rage. Something just takes over when I get mad and then I get embarrassed that k rage in front of my friends. This video has helped me and showed me there are many ways to not get mad. Thank you fox drop (: Subbed :-)
I swear to god my raging would be cut in half if people just learned to press the fucking tab button consistently so they knew who to focus and who to avoid; who to let farm and who to keep alive in teamfights.
Fantastic video Fox! And you're right about "play to improve." It's not the same thing as playing to troll or for the lols (no pun intended). It's to make yourself a better player. And the better you are the more likely you are to win.
Excellent well thought out video, I especially your reminder that the other players are all real people. It's all too easy to forget that fact sometimes. I think many players would also do well to realize just how detrimental their negative attitude can be; especially toward someone who has already had a rough day... not just in the context of the game, but on an emotional level, it's like the equivalent of kicking someone when they're down.
Your clips helped me to calm down. I was quite stresed out after work and i started to rage. I noticed that before, when i wasn't stresed out i was more efficient in game. Thank u for help. Have a nice games!
Thank you so much Fox! I, admittably, used to rage ALL the time. Things such as "why didn't you go in" "stop 1 v 1'ing, hes fucking fed" stuff like that. But after I watched this video I used your tips over and over (and experienced people raging at me) and I eventually stopped getting mad at this game! I'll often tell my friends if they are raging these tips and it really seems to help. So thank you Fox for making League fun for me ^_^
omfg point number 5. thanks for reminding me man. im a plat 2 working through a hard patch in my play and i had totally lost sight of that, and you're so right bro. thanks a lot
All i can say is thank you fox, you helped me to stop raging and learn to improve nre than win. I've already gone up from gold 4 to 3 in a day, thanks man. :)
my second time playing in pvp i was playing kalista i knew her moves and i already played her in custom (tried to learn how to last hit with her) soo i fed the enemy kalista and the amumu on the team started flaming me. but everyone else calmly told me to just play a lil more coop to get flash and practise. now i just think i fed cus i dont know how to play kalista
waffleartixfox not sure if I'm a bit late to reply to you but honestly don't pick Kalista if you're new. That has to be a really frustrating experience simply because her mechanics are intensive. Right now just worry about farming, champs like Annie make it super easy and you can learn the "rhythm" as per say. Anyway sorry didn't wanna lecture you, just sounds really unfair for a new player trying to play Kalista effectively, haha.
i didnt know that kalista was hard i just whanted to see how the new champ was like. I feel like the exensive champs are the most hardest to master. But thanks for telling me
waffleartixfox Just play annie she's super funny + so much dmg,and last hit with ur Q u will get all costs refunded, but you're probably already somewhat better after 2 months :)
but about rageleaving, i got in a game (i did very good in that game) suddenly i get shut down and half my team goes raging on my ass, they kept saying ''go away we dont need you, ur noob'' so i went afk, after hearing that im not needed for 10 min, (while holding my breath to not explode and burst out at those people, and track them down to kill them) and im suddenly the BADGUY and get 9 reports and a bann for 3 hours, someone say to me who is the wrong one in this: me the one who ragequit after hearing that im not needed for 10 min, or the guys (3 of them) who didnt want me and got all flaming on my ass
I think you are just as bad as the guys that were raging at you. You could have easily muted them, or just flat out ignored them. They were showing an inability to control their emotions, and you did the same thing in response. As the saying goes, " An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Next time you should take the high road, be the bigger man, and stick it out. It will make you a stronger/better person. Adversity is a part of life, you can't change that. But you can control how you react to it. Just my 2 cents.
mhotl thnx for the comment ill try to keep my temper and just mute them and try to win, thats kinda why i watchrd this video (didnt even know what and where the mute button was...) :)
I find this to be a common occurrence in highly toxic games. Going AFK is indeed against the Summoners Code, and you will get reported for it. Even if they are raging at you, you are in control of what you see. It's easy to get riled up when bad things happen. A good way to think about it is no matter how bad you do, as long as you aren't legitimately feeding, you can't get reported. Having a bad game is not a reportable offense, but raging at your teammates is. Instead, mute them if you would like and then just keep it in the back of your mind that the Tribunal will sort everything out afterwards when you report them. I find that when I know someone is toxic and is breaking the SC that simply knowing that I can report them after the game is revenge enough for me.
Play to become a better player, not to win.- One of the best tips I have ever heard. I play to win all the time because of my personality, I will try to change my mind-set to become a better player, but it's always so difficult when it feels like I'm getting extremely unskilled players every single game. 1 in 20 games will be awesome, great synergy, great teamwork and awesome plays. But other than that it is just people complaining about not getting their role or just can't play well in general.
I have an idea .. Why don't you just say in all chat something like this : Hey guys , good luck and have fun , sorry about this but i will mute you all. Then you mute everybody . You can't see their messages but you can see their pings . *Sorry for my bad English*
they will report you for negative attitude , never told to someone you will mute him , juste mute without saying anything that's the best choice trust me.
I agree with Nathan. I actually got called toxic for saying to communicate with pings because Im going to mute everyone as soon as I get in game. People take it offensively when you bunch them up as the same toxic people from your last game, so its best to just not say anything so you don't give them a reason to think negatively of you.
I knew it i loved the classic Warcrafts and i love finding people that realize wow isn't the only Warcraft lol plus that cut scene is just awesome and fits your theme perfectly!
Thank you for this video the 3rd, 4th and 5th tips are really good. And even if we could find some of ur tips by ourselves, it's better to know that they work for you, who always keep calm whatever the situation is.
Thank you foxdrop, just in time, I've been on a pretty bad losing streak and I know each game I did terrible and can never concentrate when toxic flamers or always my first priority.
thank for that video - some things i already thought about myself but that point with imagine the person behind the player gave me a whole new look on the game
i have a question.... when you mute the player and your team just starts getting annoyed by that flaming player so then they start flaming even though you told them to mute him as well but they don't.. what do you do??
if they are arguing with them still just mute them as well. it makes you curious as to what he/she is raging at and then you're inclined to unmute the muted rager.
wow i have watched 2 of your videos and im already admiring how you deal with problems like this in LoL. i know that i can be raging and really needed theese tips. thank you :)
That comes under playing to improve, not to win. If your goal is to simply win then the people in get in the way of your goal (i.e trolls, afks, etc) will get you really frustrated. If you're playing to become a better player, then it doesn't matter if you lose because you're not necessarily failing at your goal, self-improvement. As long as you continue to improve, your elo will rise. Maybe not right now, but definitely in the future.
When I first started LoL, I was the rage-er when I played with my friends. This didn't last very long though when I realized that when I raged, everybody's mood fell with mine, and thus caused us as a team to play worse. The interesting thing is I never raged at any of them. Anger is easily induced in others even when it doesn't have a target.
Thank you for this, it's a great video. I just started playing LOL but have played other similar games. If there's that person who opens up the game talking about how they have had bad teams all day then I know we're going to lose.
Really helpful. I actually just finished a frustrating game. I definitely need to use the mute button more b/c I tend to argue back with a flamer instead of trying to improve my play. Love the videos man. Keep up the great work =D
Last tip, the ignore button is really good, works a lot of times for me! You stay calm and can play better bc you can concentrate better on the game. Love your pro tip video's, after 2 years I still learn new things. Tnx!
Top 5 reasons for subbing to you 1-You got a british accent which is funny 2-You seem like a nice guy 3-You have great instructional videos 4-You answer to comments 5-My 1year old daughter loves foxes
Its cool that you took the intro template but then made it your own and changed everything around and added lee sin. Most people will just take the thing, put their name on it and use it. Nice job! :D
I never rage while playing but i love to see this type of vids. I see everyone thinks that you should see the importance of one game in the future. Interesting. Anyways if I can see 2 ppl that never rage with this game its Foxdrop and Siv HD and both say this tip.
I lost 5 Games in a streak and i got so daym frustrated and angry that i felt so bad ... and I had to cry at the end... srsly i watched this now and i feel so much better ! Ty Foxdrop
I've broken many mouses and keyboards in my time, I know Dyrus has as well. Probably many people have.Even the German video game rager guy has too. I would go berserk sometimes and scare people around me or my friends on skype. Over time, you will get better at controlling it, only if you make the effort. I've learned a bit of what Fox drop said in this video just by playing solo queue and being self critical, but I've noticed a lot of other good points as well! This is a great video do rewatch!
It might be nice to have this in a document so we can write this down and read it to friends who rage. It'd be hard to remember all these in the moment.
I was that person who "raged" however reading a few articles on reddit changed my whole thinking. There is no point to rage b/c a the ned of the day like you said in the video it gets u know where. So this week I didn't rage once and won all my games. One game in particular we were losing and our vi was toxic to a point of ignoring her. However I didn't and instead of joining in on the rage I did the complete opposite and tried to motivate. In the end we won and I gave teamwork to every1 but vi
Hello foxdrop! Nice video. My favorite is the `play to improve'. Whenever I have one of these kind of issues, I find that keeping a journal (i.e talking about the issue, and analyzing it) helps a lot. Hope that helps too. See you soon!
I realized something after the last tip... I am raging often, and i realized, why play to win not to learn? If you try to win, you won't learn as much as if you play to learn. If you play to learn, you will just get better and better and climb anyways ;D thanks foxdrop :)
To go along with number 3. Even if it seems weird because you don't know if they are skilled yet and if you would want to play with them in the future, it really helps(especially in ranked) if you ask any of your team-mates during champ select if they would like to join you on, or even toss out your information to some form of voice communication (i.e skype/teamspeak info). Voice communication is extremely important not just for better team coordination, but also for being able to really understand the concept that the other players are actually human beings. You can hear their emotion and get a better understanding of the logic they used during each instance of the game. And if things don't work out well in the end, and you just plain do not see yourself being able to enjoy playing alongside that person in the future, there is always that block/delete button :).
I finally did it. I was s2 promos about to be s1, 1-0 promos. I watched this video and it completely changed my gameplay. I was not being toxic anymore. So close to gold, didnt rage in weeks. Then, waiting for my duo to get ready, i was banned for 2 weeks because of rage before. I only raged twice about a month ago and i was so bad because i was doing so good at not raging. Ugh.
So, so true!! I've been trying to keep My calm cool lately using some of these tactics by own judgement. I'm glad I stayed tuned tho! I'll try to exercise a lil' bit and try to improve instead of win! I'm rather sure that is a very Good way to stay calm. Thank ya! :3
You can try using my 'elo hell' video to help with that, link in description :)I understand that can be very frustrating though. Still, I think playing to improve and not to win is a great philosophy for getting out of elo hell, too.
foxdrop, I find that it is hard to control my anger when I am angry because I don't realize that I'm angry at that moment in time (as strange as that sounds) I am more focused on what has cheesed me off. but If I become self aware of my anger while I am feel angry then I can take a step back from myself and tell myself that the anger I feel at that time is going to make this game ,win or lose, and other games that I play after worse for me and spiral out of control (go on tilt). Also when I get myself killed I take the time that I am out of the game to 1. Think about what I did wrong, 2. What I should of done (by mental rehearsal and visualtion) and if angry and aware of my anger I practice mentally relaxing myself and letting go of my anger with your tips from this video
For what it's worth I agree that people shouldn't play when they're having a bad day. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who are doing that, though. Giving them the benefit of the doubt is a way that helps me to not get so angry.
This is actually a quote my teacher told me and has helped me a ton. "Your goal is to not be better than others, your goal is to be better than you were yesterday."-Mr.Hutchens
I actually used these strategies in my last ranked game. We had a jungle Gragas who talked trash, refused to help lanes, and overall, was just a troll since the beginning of the game. What really helped was acknowledging that he was a person, who probably had a bad day, was not feeling well, or some whatever. From there, I was able to not accept his trolling. The other team got Baron three times; 2 of our inhibitors were destroyed(nearly 3); and we did not have any inhibitors against the opponent. Eventually we won a few team fights, and climbed our way back to win the game. Just thought I would share. It feels good to enjoy the game without enmity. Anger would just stunt any possibility of growth. There's no need to take it so seriously; it does not have any impact on my life anyway.
I do appreciate most of the points in the video besides the one I stated and I have watched all your videos (post 3.11) and I really appreciate what you do for the community. If only you could reach out to the people who don't actually care enough about the game to look up guides to watch your stuff. I guess we can dream...
I saw a SidHD where he asks on how you feel abot a game in a year. Found myself thinking this is not a very good way to see it but then I realized I cant remenber games with ragers from 1 months ago, however I do remenber great moments from several months ago. And I do belive the mute button is a GODSEND.
im crying right now... ive been one of the worst ragers flamers and leavers on LoL for the past 3 years. ive probably left over 1000 games and raged more than that... god im crying... i dont wanna be angry anymore, i never wanted to be angry... at least you tried to help people like me... good video =) i hope it can help even me when the damn servers come back up
OMFG I love you foxdrop I have played this game forever and im always told not to blame my team and see what ive done wrong and fix that (in bronze we all know its pretty much always our team :P) This doesnt work too well for bronze! But the self evaluation does a littlebit. But i took you advice on not to rage and help fix our team and it really does work! In my last game our panth wasnt very good ult wise, and our leona noticed that and yelled at him! He ignored her, so i told leona to just calm down in a friendly way and i helped her to understand to give advice instead of getting mad. She helped him with the stunning and ulting and at the end panth ulted behind nexus and won! Thanks again for the help Fox Drop much love!
I don't watch Siv or Sky and I've not seen that particular Gbay video. This isn't a compilation of anti-rage videos, it's just my own one. I'm not surprised that others have made similar points though, no one here is doing anything extremely innovative. Although for the record, I learned the "would you care in 1 weeks time" from Siv, ironically not from a video but from a random comment he posted on reddit like a year ago. Guess it stuck with me.
How to stop raging in 2 easy steps:
Step 1 - Play on the Chinese server.
Step 2 - Don't learn Chinese.
:P
*****, Thanks m8.
Shane Rooney Interestingly I do find people rage a lot less on the Chinese server, but that's probably because they talk to each other a lot less too. KS'ing is also completely fair game and no one ever complains about it, and in ranked I've not yet seen people bitching about not getting a certain role i.e. "Top or feed". They just respect the pick order and do what needs to be done. All in all I much prefer playing on the Chinese server than EUW
when I learn Chinese I will be able to confirm that claim. ^_^
although, I can say that I never had any ping-rage against me when I stuffed up. So I am inclined to believe you.
EUW? What is this peasantry? The American servers are SUPREME in rage!
i remember 6 months ago when i first started ranking i was put in bronze I. i raged at teammates a lot and i never bothered to learn how to improve. thanks for your tips on climbing elo. your jungle guides are so insightful because you always discuss how to "read the mind of the enemy jungler". your conceptual play is amazing. im a proponent of what foxdrop says, climbing out of elo hell is definitely possible, you just need to work like you mean it. bronze I->plat 5, keep up the good work!
but..but how do i play tryndamere if i dont rage :(?
You don't you're not supposed to play Trynda
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i cant play renekton or shyvana :(
This is a very helpful video. Not just for league, and not even just for video games in general, but also for real word confrontations. I appreciate it.
this game made me a rager
Lul'z me too i got so much headache cause of those raging teammates that are constantly saying Mid or Feed .. Im trolling enjoy lose ... Are even when someones else lose his lane and the jungle is like ' pfff you are too far behind just afk' or even when jungle is like Afk farming and even dont aplies map pressure
But this game made me turn into udyr or Tryndamir because people rage for no reason
So much this. I dont rage in games, ever, except this one >:(
Russell Haynes fingers crossed*
This game made me a troll

Tips when I use to play CoD. These tips were thought up by me and used them in the 4 years of playing online.
1. Chew chewing gum. I have no idea why, but it helps you concentrate and keeps you from boiling. Also makes your talk less.
2a. Take an hour break and watch a TV show or movie that you like. Make sure this is not on your computer where you play CoD/LoL
2b, Chuck some food in the microwave and have a nice meal. Most times when I am angry, it is because I had not eaten properly. Same with fluids.
3. If you have a car, Just drive for 10-15 minutes. This helps with anything. I do this when I'm clouded with homework.
4. Avoid playing when tired. I refuse to play games when tied since it will frustrate you because you're not doing as good than you usually do. Take a nap before hand.
5. Make a scenario in your mind that you have been kidnapped and if you lose or go bad, you will be murdered. I rarely did this, but it's funny because it works.
That kinky bastard
Very well made video! I actually take everything you mentioned in this video to mind already. It's nice to see it made into a video for the community to see. When I do rarely get upset during a game, I don't even take it to the keyboard. I feel that more people need to just keep their feelings to themselves, and this game will be so much more enjoyable! Great video!!

So i started bronze 2 in Season 3 and was 800 elo last season (extremelyyyyyy toxic). After watching some of your videos they gave me better perspective and I thank you for that Foxdrop. I have since climbed to Gold 3 mainly using your videos as guidance.
I can take it when people feed... But when they say: ''I have mouse problem'' or whatever then i get mad beacsue... WHY THE HECK DOES THEY PLAY A GAME WHEN THEY HAVE A COMPUTER PROBLEM???
Dude
I respect you so much. Look people try to make videos about getting better at league and how to remove tilt.
Play to improve, not to win. Is the best advice ive ever gotten like ever.
I never understood raging.. I would rage at my self for being stupid but not towards other.
I love that, why aren't there more of you? Q~Q
I raged at other people at first. I don't understand it myself, from my current perspective, it was very illogical. I learned to stop raging in general, and the rare times i rage is at myself rather than others.
Upon that though, raging at yourself can be just as bad. You start to feel as if you can't play league well enough, you can get depressed, and negatively influence your play mechanics as much as with anger.
Well I didn't mean rage rage. Like I would say to myself "I could have done this better but whatever what's done is done"
It was for anyone else reading the comment as well :)
I'd just like to say that this has really helped me a lot and generally made me a better person and LoL player. Today I came close to never playing this game again because of series of lose streaks, and you encouraged me to keep trying.
#3 can be counter-productive. Say the enemy team was trolling you and being successful. You're getting dominated by these dickheads who don't really even care about the game. When you picture them in real life, laughing, it doesn't help your mentality at all.
I like the last tip about playing to improve rather than playing to win. Lately I've been watching replays after every game to see where I could've played something out better and often I find many many mistakes but I've also noticed that some games are more or less impossible to win. If I only wanted to win I'd probably be despondent after a series of games like that, but since I have the replays I can recognize the futility of that goal and instead prepare for more winnable games. Great video.
i just got to bronze 3. I used to only play ranked, cuz the trolls in normals are even worse than the ranked ones. I dont even rage..ill say something like "can i get a gank top, this guys been pushing all game" and the jungler will snap and say "i cant be everywhere at once!"...Its hard to speak with reason in bronze tho..cuz everyone in bronze doesnt think they deserve to be there. They all think they are hidden gods of the game. Im in bronze cuz i played ranked when i didnt really know the game..and im dealing with it. Do i think im better than bronze now? Duh, hence why im getting out of it. Ive been watching your vids tho, your jungling ones. So ive been maining jung, wukong and skarner. All people do is snap on the jungler, lol.
Okay first off. Wukong does not have any cc besides his ult. That means you are relying on your team to take tanks which in bronze nobody does. If you have Lee Sin use him since he can go full ad full tank and anywhere in between he is one of the few junglers who can buy a sightstone without the support thinking thats a message of -'You are not warding enough' (everybody is so easily offended). Also tips for crushing low elo- Go early game champs in most roles. Starting an early game snowball crushes the moral of players making them give up before the 20 min mark. Also push obj 24/7 people not grouping and split pushing takes low rankings off guard. Thats all I got cya.
Ben Wall Wukong can catch anybody off guard when ganking...he goes invis. He can chase for days, and tower dive at level 2. His mobility is awseom if you last his with your e. and if you max your q rather than your e, you can hit for about 200 at level 3, and the cooldown is 3 seconds. Wu is a fighter and an assassin. You can leave your w ina camp with low health and move onto the next one early. He can solo drag at level 9 if built right. And he can escape from almost any situation. I dont rely on my teammates to take tanks..And red buff gives you cc. And the game isnt about kills, its about tower, wu is great as pushing people out of lane, and getting towers. Hes a different play style, not a bad one. thx tho. And i do have lee, i dont like using him. Ps i have over 700 games plays in ranked, im not a noob, i just get trolled.
Dougal Skanes Hi, i won't argue with anyone here, i just want to add some facts :
1. I think at the moment wukong is a better jungler than skarner, simply because he needs no items to be tanky and deal damage and still is more usefull than skarner in teamfights with his ult...
2. Wukong mobility is awfull... he has like 1 targeted gapcloser, which is only on enemys... this is pretty bad xD
(i should add that this is not that much of a problem, i do play Elise a lot, and she hasn't much mobility either)
and still he has like 1 escape which is not really a gapcloserbut can be quite awsome
3. @ Ben Wall
yeah, i guess earlygame champs do work really well in bronze due to bad gold income and due to no / not much knowledge about the champions and what they're supposed to do...
4. Jungler don't need CC...
they don't even depend on their team, just walk infront of the enemy with Redbuff and attack him, walk infront of him... it's that easy, and when your team doesn't listen or doesn't help, ping! (or do ur shit alone [only to those who REALLY KNOW THIS GAME AND THE CHAMPS!!!])
5. This game is about knowledge, people just don't understand...
it's like chezz, as teamgame , but noone down thinks he self is bad, just that his team did shit...
maybe they had an idea what they do...
maybe you just didn't understand...
or maybe they just play this game for fun, what is also one of the things player should do, if they don't play to improve....
Thats all for today
-- a Platin 2 player --
relrax bösel wus e targets in and aoe, i rush a hydra on him after my golem. If built right early he dominates multi enemy rights all games.
Golem, ninja tabai, taimat, and brutalizer. Thats my core like level 13 id say. Counter jungling is an essential thing if you wanna pull this off tho. And ganking regularly, even if its just running through and scaring the laner. The pressure levitation from your laners gives you more opportunity to farm the jung, and the enemy jungler less opportunity to gank. In bronze anyhow. I dont run through the middle of the lane when i play with my gold and plat buddies lol. All you need to win in bronze in more confidence then the other players, cuz most really dont know what they are doing yet.
Listen, I got Bronze 3 as well, people just need to be patient about things, and there is no point in getting angry, which can keep you level, and the game wouldn't matter a week from it too :3
"Play to improve". This is the best tip I've heard in my 10 months of play, thanks and subscribed!
how to stop ragers.
be the biger person.
take that anger from the mid laner and instead of the midlaner raging at the jungler for doing a bad gank because he took the kill.
make your midlaner hate you, make him turn against you and he will get off your junglers back. i have been doing this for a while and its been working out for me.
make love NOT war
Foxdrop ur gonna have to make a whole other video just for when teemo rages. Because teemo's hidden passive causes even the calmest LCS players to smash their moniters.
Taking a long break is definitely helpful to prevent you from raging further. Before I took a 9 month break from LoL ( my GPU overheated and spoiled ), I was raging all the time. People flaming at me, trolls, feeders... These just ticks me off. And I usually get into an argument with my teammates. However after that 9 month break I found myself more relaxed and calm. Idk how it will work on you, but it's definitely worth the try.
Remind yourself that this is just a game, there's definitely people who plays better than you. Why spoil your body over a game? Getting mad is bad for your health. Accept the fact that your opponent is better than you, and realize your mistakes and improve.
You can try this technique to calm yourselves down. Pat your chest ( not too hard ), take deep breaths and count starting from 1. Stop until the anger goes off.
If your teammates are raging at you , mute them. Enemies getting too cocky and arrogant in chat? Mute them. Mute button is your best friend.
Best way to stop raging is to uninstall LoL. Problem solved. Explore other games, LoL isn't the only game in the world.
If that is how you saw LoL, then obviously you did not have fun and the game was not for you. :P
Aleksander Solheim I had fun and the game was for me. Enjoyed every moment of it.
Man Hound easy to say and impossible to do
Amon_LoL It's possible.
Amon_LoL It's definitely not hard to do, I can say that much, but it really depends on your situation.
"Play each game with a desire to leave the game as a better player.... if you are imporving as a player, your win will come" Cant praise this more!
Fox, dude. I think i fuckin' love you man. I'm going to forward your entire back catalogue to my team. Love your vids, love your attitude, even love ya shitty little nunu joke. All the best.
Don't let your emotions towards him gain control!
Give into the dark side
thecreator625 Ich hab gesehen was du getan hast. ;)
CMBruler No given to the darker side we get free coffee everyday it really calms the nerves :)
I am notorious among my friends for raging heavily. Honestly, it really kills the fun for everyone when I start yelling over Skype that Riven is broken, ignite didn't go off, etc. etc. Your tip on playing to improve, not playing to win was actually brilliant. You were absolutely right. Playing to win is what causes most of my anger, so that helped me out immensely. Thank you
But after when you come back to the reality you rage ...
2:58
Don't be stupid. We don't have girlfriends.
Crowloq your damn right
Crowloq How about boyfriends? xD
OfficialSevenStrikes how abut asexuals?
Crowloq Don't speak for "we" , you are just one person! WTF. Thanks!
Alexon Asaf Has anyone ever introduced you to the concept of humour?
playing LOL to relax... HA!!!
i play LoL for high blood pressure
I play LoL after an fight with my mum, then get mad at the game slams the door and flip my bed over and blame it on the game.
As someone who rages themself (not proud to admit it) this was very eye opening to me. I feel like 60% of my loss comes because I rage. Something just takes over when I get mad and then I get embarrassed that k rage in front of my friends. This video has helped me and showed me there are many ways to not get mad. Thank you fox drop (:
Subbed :-)
I swear to god my raging would be cut in half if people just learned to press the fucking tab button consistently so they knew who to focus and who to avoid; who to let farm and who to keep alive in teamfights.
John Smith I agree. And I think I'm the only unranked player who does that XD [win rate went to 98% after I started doing that]
Jeoffrey Auscia Thats pretty much unpossible(98%win rate), if ya play more than 2games/day
+Jeoffrey Auscia 98 percent. Riiiight....
For sure, I got a real Mathematician and a bunch of calculators
Thank you so much for making this video. I really improved my resolve and self appreciation overall.
Reported - Every LoL game ever.
Fantastic video Fox! And you're right about "play to improve." It's not the same thing as playing to troll or for the lols (no pun intended). It's to make yourself a better player. And the better you are the more likely you are to win.
thank you soo much for the tips.i am a riven main and riven players are the most toxic players.
well they shouldn't be because riven is the easiest champion ATM
Bullshit that riven is an easy or a noob champ. Playing riven in high diamond to challenger elo is harder then azir.
+Manos apostolou I hope ur joking dude riven is not the easiest and is not close to it
look at general sniper u dipshit
Excellent well thought out video, I especially your reminder that the other players are all real people. It's all too easy to forget that fact sometimes.
I think many players would also do well to realize just how detrimental their negative attitude can be; especially toward someone who has already had a rough day... not just in the context of the game, but on an emotional level, it's like the equivalent of kicking someone when they're down.
How is a shower exercise?
*Winks*
Allister Macgregor no patrick shower is not an exercise Kappa
***** wow, that's so sad, condolences
Allister Macgregor FAP TIME
Allister Macgregor the thing u do in the shower called speedfap is an exerciser and a relief
Your clips helped me to calm down. I was quite stresed out after work and i started to rage. I noticed that before, when i wasn't stresed out i was more efficient in game. Thank u for help. Have a nice games!
do physical exercise like taking a shower...
wtf do you do in the shower foxdrop
I sing
Aleks Dobovsek you're not joking
D: How did you know?
Aleks Dobovsek c:
well i move my hands to wash my body and hair what do you think everyone does?
Thank you so much Fox! I, admittably, used to rage ALL the time. Things such as "why didn't you go in" "stop 1 v 1'ing, hes fucking fed" stuff like that. But after I watched this video I used your tips over and over (and experienced people raging at me) and I eventually stopped getting mad at this game! I'll often tell my friends if they are raging these tips and it really seems to help. So thank you Fox for making League fun for me ^_^
i wanne thank you :D 3 mounth back i was looking this video. And now i don't flam ;D and i win more games.
so ty ;D (sorry for my poor grammar).
omfg point number 5. thanks for reminding me man. im a plat 2 working through a hard patch in my play and i had totally lost sight of that, and you're so right bro. thanks a lot
I can't fucking stop it. This fucking game gaves me pretty serious headaches, i went to the hospital one time.
Heard these ideas, yet I like how they're explained here. Definitely GJ, spread this to other players.
It is annoying when the other team calls people noobs, what happened to.the principle of friendly competitors
All i can say is thank you fox, you helped me to stop raging and learn to improve nre than win. I've already gone up from gold 4 to 3 in a day, thanks man. :)
really good video
these are still relevant tips! good job.
my second time playing in pvp i was playing kalista i knew her moves and i already played her in custom (tried to learn how to last hit with her) soo i fed the enemy kalista and the amumu on the team started flaming me. but everyone else calmly told me to just play a lil more coop to get flash and practise. now i just think i fed cus i dont know how to play kalista
waffleartixfox lol why did u play kalistar on ur second pvp
i think my second pvp was yi lol
i just whanted to try kalista
waffleartixfox not sure if I'm a bit late to reply to you but honestly don't pick Kalista if you're new. That has to be a really frustrating experience simply because her mechanics are intensive. Right now just worry about farming, champs like Annie make it super easy and you can learn the "rhythm" as per say. Anyway sorry didn't wanna lecture you, just sounds really unfair for a new player trying to play Kalista effectively, haha.
i didnt know that kalista was hard i just whanted to see how the new champ was like. I feel like the exensive champs are the most hardest to master. But thanks for telling me
waffleartixfox Just play annie she's super funny + so much dmg,and last hit with ur Q u will get all costs refunded, but you're probably already somewhat better after 2 months :)
I always forget that playing normal games is yes to have fun and win but to improve on your champions. These tips really helped !
but about rageleaving, i got in a game (i did very good in that game) suddenly i get shut down and half my team goes raging on my ass, they kept saying ''go away we dont need you, ur noob'' so i went afk, after hearing that im not needed for 10 min, (while holding my breath to not explode and burst out at those people, and track them down to kill them) and im suddenly the BADGUY and get 9 reports and a bann for 3 hours, someone say to me who is the wrong one in this: me the one who ragequit after hearing that im not needed for 10 min, or the guys (3 of them) who didnt want me and got all flaming on my ass
I think you are just as bad as the guys that were raging at you. You could have easily muted them, or just flat out ignored them. They were showing an inability to control their emotions, and you did the same thing in response. As the saying goes, " An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Next time you should take the high road, be the bigger man, and stick it out. It will make you a stronger/better person. Adversity is a part of life, you can't change that. But you can control how you react to it. Just my 2 cents.
mhotl thnx for the comment ill try to keep my temper and just mute them and try to win, thats kinda why i watchrd this video (didnt even know what and where the mute button was...) :)
Mikey Dekker No problem mate. Good luck :D
I find this to be a common occurrence in highly toxic games. Going AFK is indeed against the Summoners Code, and you will get reported for it. Even if they are raging at you, you are in control of what you see. It's easy to get riled up when bad things happen. A good way to think about it is no matter how bad you do, as long as you aren't legitimately feeding, you can't get reported. Having a bad game is not a reportable offense, but raging at your teammates is. Instead, mute them if you would like and then just keep it in the back of your mind that the Tribunal will sort everything out afterwards when you report them. I find that when I know someone is toxic and is breaking the SC that simply knowing that I can report them after the game is revenge enough for me.
Play to become a better player, not to win.- One of the best tips I have ever heard.
I play to win all the time because of my personality, I will try to change my mind-set to become a better player, but it's always so difficult when it feels like I'm getting extremely unskilled players every single game. 1 in 20 games will be awesome, great synergy, great teamwork and awesome plays. But other than that it is just people complaining about not getting their role or just can't play well in general.
Only reason i rage, TEEMO FFS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man, needed this tonight big time. Good points and i like how you get into each issue personally. Not just a statistic or something.
I have an idea .. Why don't you just say in all chat something like this : Hey guys , good luck and have fun , sorry about this but i will mute you all. Then you mute everybody . You can't see their messages but you can see their pings . *Sorry for my bad English*
they will report you for negative attitude , never told to someone you will mute him , juste mute without saying anything that's the best choice trust me.
I agree with Nathan. I actually got called toxic for saying to communicate with pings because Im going to mute everyone as soon as I get in game. People take it offensively when you bunch them up as the same toxic people from your last game, so its best to just not say anything so you don't give them a reason to think negatively of you.
"why would you want to wish your enemy good luck" - Phreak
Nathan Pelletier
I always use this as a jungler and as support.
then they will start spamming pings and report you at the end.
I knew it i loved the classic Warcrafts and i love finding people that realize wow isn't the only Warcraft lol plus that cut scene is just awesome and fits your theme perfectly!
Thank you for this video the 3rd, 4th and 5th tips are really good.
And even if we could find some of ur tips by ourselves, it's better to know that they work for you, who always keep calm whatever the situation is.
Thank you foxdrop, just in time, I've been on a pretty bad losing streak and I know each game I did terrible and can never concentrate when toxic flamers or always my first priority.
thank for that video - some things i already thought about myself but that point with imagine the person behind the player gave me a whole new look on the game
i have a question.... when you mute the player and your team just starts getting annoyed by that flaming player so then they start flaming even though you told them to mute him as well but they don't.. what do you do??
if they are arguing with them still just mute them as well. it makes you curious as to what he/she is raging at and then you're inclined to unmute the muted rager.
wow i have watched 2 of your videos and im already admiring how you deal with problems like this in LoL. i know that i can be raging and really needed theese tips. thank you :)
That comes under playing to improve, not to win. If your goal is to simply win then the people in get in the way of your goal (i.e trolls, afks, etc) will get you really frustrated. If you're playing to become a better player, then it doesn't matter if you lose because you're not necessarily failing at your goal, self-improvement. As long as you continue to improve, your elo will rise. Maybe not right now, but definitely in the future.
When I first started LoL, I was the rage-er when I played with my friends. This didn't last very long though when I realized that when I raged, everybody's mood fell with mine, and thus caused us as a team to play worse. The interesting thing is I never raged at any of them. Anger is easily induced in others even when it doesn't have a target.
Thank you for this, it's a great video. I just started playing LOL but have played other similar games. If there's that person who opens up the game talking about how they have had bad teams all day then I know we're going to lose.
Really helpful. I actually just finished a frustrating game. I definitely need to use the mute button more b/c I tend to argue back with a flamer instead of trying to improve my play. Love the videos man. Keep up the great work =D
"When you're raging it can be hard to appreciate logic" I'm going to be using that alot now. thanks foxdrop
Last tip, the ignore button is really good, works a lot of times for me! You stay calm and can play better bc you can concentrate better on the game.
Love your pro tip video's, after 2 years I still learn new things. Tnx!
Top 5 reasons for subbing to you
1-You got a british accent which is funny
2-You seem like a nice guy
3-You have great instructional videos
4-You answer to comments
5-My 1year old daughter loves foxes
Amazing video man! Really nice to see people that are actually making these kind of video's!
Its cool that you took the intro template but then made it your own and changed everything around and added lee sin. Most people will just take the thing, put their name on it and use it. Nice job! :D
I never rage while playing but i love to see this type of vids. I see everyone thinks that you should see the importance of one game in the future. Interesting. Anyways if I can see 2 ppl that never rage with this game its Foxdrop and Siv HD and both say this tip.
I lost 5 Games in a streak and i got so daym frustrated and angry that i felt so bad ... and I had to cry at the end...
srsly i watched this now and i feel so much better ! Ty Foxdrop
These tips have helped me climb up to g4 when i was silver, thanks foxdrop!
I've broken many mouses and keyboards in my time, I know Dyrus has as well. Probably many people have.Even the German video game rager guy has too. I would go berserk sometimes and scare people around me or my friends on skype. Over time, you will get better at controlling it, only if you make the effort. I've learned a bit of what Fox drop said in this video just by playing solo queue and being self critical, but I've noticed a lot of other good points as well! This is a great video do rewatch!
It might be nice to have this in a document so we can write this down and read it to friends who rage. It'd be hard to remember all these in the moment.
Thank you so much. I have so much trouble with this. I think that I'll do ranked now. You are a hero FoxDrop. Subscribed.
Well that's the point. You've got to work at it and control yourself. Emotions are powerful but you can overcome them.
I was that person who "raged" however reading a few articles on reddit changed my whole thinking. There is no point to rage b/c a the ned of the day like you said in the video it gets u know where. So this week I didn't rage once and won all my games. One game in particular we were losing and our vi was toxic to a point of ignoring her. However I didn't and instead of joining in on the rage I did the complete opposite and tried to motivate. In the end we won and I gave teamwork to every1 but vi
Hello foxdrop! Nice video. My favorite is the `play to improve'. Whenever I have one of these kind of issues, I find that keeping a journal (i.e talking about the issue, and analyzing it) helps a lot.
Hope that helps too. See you soon!
I realized something after the last tip... I am raging often, and i realized, why play to win not to learn? If you try to win, you won't learn as much as if you play to learn. If you play to learn, you will just get better and better and climb anyways ;D thanks foxdrop :)
tip 5*
The Nunu puns in this video are actually funny!
Great advice Foxdrop.
To go along with number 3. Even if it seems weird because you don't know if they are skilled yet and if you would want to play with them in the future, it really helps(especially in ranked) if you ask any of your team-mates during champ select if they would like to join you on, or even toss out your information to some form of voice communication (i.e skype/teamspeak info). Voice communication is extremely important not just for better team coordination, but also for being able to really understand the concept that the other players are actually human beings. You can hear their emotion and get a better understanding of the logic they used during each instance of the game. And if things don't work out well in the end, and you just plain do not see yourself being able to enjoy playing alongside that person in the future, there is always that block/delete button :).
I finally did it. I was s2 promos about to be s1, 1-0 promos. I watched this video and it completely changed my gameplay. I was not being toxic anymore. So close to gold, didnt rage in weeks. Then, waiting for my duo to get ready, i was banned for 2 weeks because of rage before. I only raged twice about a month ago and i was so bad because i was doing so good at not raging. Ugh.
So, so true!! I've been trying to keep My calm cool lately using some of these tactics by own judgement. I'm glad I stayed tuned tho! I'll try to exercise a lil' bit and try to improve instead of win! I'm rather sure that is a very Good way to stay calm. Thank ya! :3
Great advice, I've tried using these tips and they really do work.
This video has a lot of good insight. I don't tend to rage often but these tips are good.
the zen tune at the end tops it all off :p you're awesome
You can try using my 'elo hell' video to help with that, link in description :)I understand that can be very frustrating though. Still, I think playing to improve and not to win is a great philosophy for getting out of elo hell, too.
foxdrop, I find that it is hard to control my anger when I am angry because I don't realize that I'm angry at that moment in time (as strange as that sounds) I am more focused on what has cheesed me off. but If I become self aware of my anger while I am feel angry then I can take a step back from myself and tell myself that the anger I feel at that time is going to make this game ,win or lose, and other games that I play after worse for me and spiral out of control (go on tilt).
Also when I get myself killed I take the time that I am out of the game to 1. Think about what I did wrong, 2. What I should of done (by mental rehearsal and visualtion) and if angry and aware of my anger I practice mentally relaxing myself and letting go of my anger with your tips from this video
For what it's worth I agree that people shouldn't play when they're having a bad day. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who are doing that, though. Giving them the benefit of the doubt is a way that helps me to not get so angry.
This is actually a quote my teacher told me and has helped me a ton. "Your goal is to not be better than others, your goal is to be better than you were yesterday."-Mr.Hutchens
I actually used these strategies in my last ranked game. We had a jungle Gragas who talked trash, refused to help lanes, and overall, was just a troll since the beginning of the game. What really helped was acknowledging that he was a person, who probably had a bad day, was not feeling well, or some whatever. From there, I was able to not accept his trolling. The other team got Baron three times; 2 of our inhibitors were destroyed(nearly 3); and we did not have any inhibitors against the opponent. Eventually we won a few team fights, and climbed our way back to win the game.
Just thought I would share. It feels good to enjoy the game without enmity. Anger would just stunt any possibility of growth. There's no need to take it so seriously; it does not have any impact on my life anyway.
You sir are a genius! Thank you for showing me how to do this. You seem to talk out of your experience. Big like!
Very good point about the primary goal of the game.
Congratulations Foxdrop to 200k subs!
I do appreciate most of the points in the video besides the one I stated and I have watched all your videos (post 3.11) and I really appreciate what you do for the community. If only you could reach out to the people who don't actually care enough about the game to look up guides to watch your stuff. I guess we can dream...
I saw a SidHD where he asks on how you feel abot a game in a year. Found myself thinking this is not a very good way to see it but then I realized I cant remenber games with ragers from 1 months ago, however I do remenber great moments from several months ago. And I do belive the mute button is a GODSEND.
im crying right now... ive been one of the worst ragers flamers and leavers on LoL for the past 3 years. ive probably left over 1000 games and raged more than that... god im crying... i dont wanna be angry anymore, i never wanted to be angry... at least you tried to help people like me... good video =) i hope it can help even me when the damn servers come back up
OMFG
I love you foxdrop
I have played this game forever and im always told not to blame my team and see what ive done wrong and fix that (in bronze we all know its pretty much always our team :P) This doesnt work too well for bronze! But the self evaluation does a littlebit. But i took you advice on not to rage and help fix our team and it really does work! In my last game our panth wasnt very good ult wise, and our leona noticed that and yelled at him! He ignored her, so i told leona to just calm down in a friendly way and i helped her to understand to give advice instead of getting mad. She helped him with the stunning and ulting and at the end panth ulted behind nexus and won!
Thanks again for the help Fox Drop much love!
One thing to add about playing for self improvement is there is never a limit to how much better you can get at the game.
wow,this was such a peaceful and good video,thank for helping me...
I don't watch Siv or Sky and I've not seen that particular Gbay video. This isn't a compilation of anti-rage videos, it's just my own one. I'm not surprised that others have made similar points though, no one here is doing anything extremely innovative.
Although for the record, I learned the "would you care in 1 weeks time" from Siv, ironically not from a video but from a random comment he posted on reddit like a year ago. Guess it stuck with me.
