As someone that tries to think outside the box from time to time I've asked myself where does this anger come from? In day to day life you notice that a lot of anger and self hate comes from something such as depression and real life stress. In nearly every case I've had in a game where someone is raging I've called them out about it (in a friendly way have you) offering them friendly support and someone to talk too. So far this has worked for me.

Put yourself in their shoes; League of legends is a game, something you can enjoy with people you never met who don't know you or your story. It's free and has no commitments and is easy to pick up but hard to master. Yet if you do master the game to some degree you can make a career out of this. Yet for a lot of people video games and other such activities are a form of escape and gives you the feeling of accomplishment which they cannot get from their real life to many problems they might face such as love life, friendships or family or even worse. The idea of your escape being something that can be your life is on the same level as buying a lottery ticket in my eyes or in one word. Hope.

Like real life and league of legends we need to get the message across that its okay to make mistakes and that you're not alone! There are so many like minded people out there yet communication seems to be everyone's weak point! That's the reason for this post. Its unlikely but I'm just a nobody but I want to help make a difference and get people talking and caring for one another. This is a game we all enjoy and love for one reason or another.

If anyone does need someone to talk to no matter how little or big their problems could be feel more than welcome to drop me a message here or if you would like to play some stress free games where making mistakes are okay feel more than welcome to add me in game EUW: Duo.

A community needs to support each other and I hope this can be the start of it!

TLDR - real life issues link with in game rage, community should come together and talk. Support one another through a game we all love.
