How do you avoid raging?

[Ziday]

Well basically as the title says, i've been playing hon for a while now and everytime i play with friends(who aren't really that good) i always end up raging like hell at them. And everytime the other team trashtalks i always trashtalk back, which ends up frustrating me even more.

So basically, is there anything i should think of when im getting frustrated or start to rage?

Yeah, helpful answer

Smoking weed calms your nerves and makes things significantly less stressful. Not my fault you don't approve of it, or that most of the US doesn't approve of it. You asked for a way to help with stress, I offered advice.

Remember it's just a game, I personally only rage when I do bad myself.

or on the cases where someone is raging ALL GAME from less then five minutes till the very end when we win/lose. I can't stand listening to people ***** constantly CONSTANTLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYY

After playing CS:S all year last year, I've basically given up on raging, unless I get owned many times in quick succession, usually I just sigh and give up, watch some videos, get inspired, come back, fail, then I just do something else.

beta stats don't matter

make an alt and play on that. when you're about to lose, buy a blink dagger and a hatchet and ****ing making a path to their fountain.

Yes. The ability to restrain yourself from raging will come in time. Just keep practicing. First of all, remember this.

If you're in an argument, insults have no merit whatsoever. So if you're telling someone they shouldn't start with boots, and they say "**** you", then don't get mad. They're just being immature. It may not feel like it, but if you handle the situation professionally (for example, asking him why he swore at you or such in a non-negative tone), others will see that in you, even if they don't say it out loud.

If they trashtalk and flame, you can play along, and pretend you're having some friendly conversation. They will usually get even madder by doing this, but it is a good way to sort of vent yourself out without actually trashtalking. And it's not bad on your part because you're trying to be friendly. In some occasions though, they may stop raging and start trolling around with you cause they might find it fun too. In the end, there's less rage .

If they keep yelling at you for some thing and don't listen to what you have to say, then say something like this. "If you're not going to listen, then I'm not going to explain. Go on ahead and keep thinking I'm wrong and you're right." You can even give them a sort of compliment by saying "I respect your right to ignore me."

If they keep saying things like "umad?" then just play along (like above) and say may be, no, or even yes in a comical manner. You could even make a joke out of it... "I just spilled my coke over my piano..."

And other stuffz like that. Hope this helps . Remember... PEOPLE WILL SEE IT if you act professionally! (Not game-wise, but maturity wise). If they keep trashtalking back, it is normal. Those who trashtalk are those that are (or seem to want to show that they are) unable to argue or discuss something properly and productively, and instead have to turn to trashtalking to try to make the other person feel bad. So even if you handle it professionally, they may still flame. But they will see the maturity in the way you speak, or rather, type.

Hope this helps!

This is kind of unrelated, but this morning I learned that if the opposing team has a disconnect, if your team gets a flying courier and parks it behind the enemy fountain, you can steal all of the items the d/c drops into the fountain by waiting for him to drop out of the game, using the invulnerability on the courier, flying in, nabbing all the items, and flying out before invulnerability wears off.


Saw someone do it today, and was in complete awe/lulz.

You should anyways. everythign tastes better and sudenly everythings hilarious.

[[JAC]OTBatman]

i know its not addicting and what not, but ive seen friends get destroyed by it, grades dropped, etc etc

only reason i dont do it, even though i know most likely it would up my grades if anything

Why bother trying to avoid it? Better off getting it off your chest.

I lol'd not because it's funny, but from the sheer confusion I got from reading that.

[Spaztick]

Normally I scream at my monitor lot.

grades dropped because they realized they're a waste of time
