Do you have anger issues while gaming?

[Shinkicker444]

Yep, but it's weird. I could be playing an MP game and the team I'm on could be losing and I don't mind to much. I might get a bit annoyed, but overall I'm still enjoying myself. But if I die, even in a winning game, I get pissed off. I'll curse at the screen for a good few seconds, before settling into disgruntled silence waiting for the stupidly long re-spawn timers games seem to have these days - which just let the anger fester.

I do get annoyed at "random" games where you rely on "dice" rolls, like in EU4, you have your army.. better general, higher discipline, better tradition, greater tech and ideas, and like double the troops of the enemy, but you. roll. fucking. zeros. WHAT IN THE UNHOLY SHIT. So damn frustrating.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

I have severe anger/rage issues in general so yes.
When I was younger I screamed, threw my controller, put my fist through walls/doors, etc.

But after a few years of therapy and working extremely hard at self control I can now get angry without destroying something

Thanks to that when I get angry at a game I just let the controller drop from my hand, bury my face in my pillow and take a deep breath. Then I'm ready to go again.




Sometimes though I snap weaker controllers in half before I force myself to simply drop them. Damn, fragile ps2/3 controllers...

Edit: Thats only for singleplayer games though.
I've always been a lot more relaxed when it came to multiplayer for some reason.

30 DAMAGE ON A SINGLE SHOT?! FUCK YOU ARCHERS!

Of course they would ignore everybody else and run alllll the way through the rest of the team to oneshot the Pegasus unit at the back. Of course.

Fire Emblem AI has no intention of winning. It solely desires to cause you endless suffering.

OT- It depends. Lately I've been a bit more stressed than usual with finals, so I haven't been taking my games in league all that well (not to mention that my recent games I've either been support and had to deal with an adc who couldn't tie their own shoelaces or jungle and had to deal with a whole team who couldn't tie their own shoelaces, but at least I get to play wukong then). Usually I don't get that mad though. My friends tend to laugh after I apologize for raging after a game due to how mild I am about it. I just am not that good at being angry.

Did someone just give me an excuse for a League discussion? I believe so.

If you're one of those who hate to support but still get stuck with it I would just recommend picking Soraka. Funny that a few months ago I swore that Soraka was the absolute worst support in the game and nothing would shake that belief. Then they changed her passive to something anywhere near relevant and oh now she's super good. Max Q first, start with a full Sightstone rush and build full AP. Rylai's or Liandry's first major item (maybe a gold item as well if you want) nobody sees it coming. She's supposed to be a pure health/mana battery right? She can't all-in effectively at all. Well now with my professional build and skill path she can and she's perfect for carrying that braindead guy who just won't stop walking into stuns...

Also Wish is super hype. LIVE YOU FUCKS!

I dislike how pretty much everyone plays nothing but AP carries as supports now. Annie, Morg, Zyra etc etc aside from Thresh (I don't really see very many effective Leonas anymore.) Thresh being 100% broken at all times because he can do everything and that lantern is the best move in the game. 'S why I don't play bot much anymore. I try to learn Vayne but they always have some hellish lane like Lucian/Annie and Vayne is just super squish all game long.



I'm gonna learn Rumble for my first proper top lane (Level 30, Silver 2, owns every character, still has no idea how to play top. Get on my level) because of the TTGL Rumble skin that's coming out. Oh god I can see it now... Every 1v1/gank/attempt on my life is going to have me shouting something about who the hell I am.

Man, learn to support like a real man. By which I mean a real cow. Because no matter how hard they may try, they cannot milk those. Still, Alistar can't do much if everybody just keeps playing dumb. You can only save so many people with your limited supply of headbutts per minute.

I really don't like playing mages is the thing. I am good at tanks (which is why I play alistar and taric when I have to support), but mages just seem wrong to me. For adc I can really only play Sivir. I like Lucian, I mean, how could you not like the blackest champ in league of legends, but I just can't do anything with him. I'm too much of a coward. That and everybody plays Caitlin. She is such a pain.

Ha, think that it's weird that you can't play a proper top lane eh? I can't play a single mid laner. Not one. And I made it to Gold 5 (pleb). Also I can't play elise for the life of me despite having mained jungle since season 2. I should really figure her out some day. I can't just let my victorious skin go to waste after all.

EDIT- also, yes, that skin looks freaking awesome. So glad I own him. I really do need to get better at him though.

I play a bit of the cow, not much for awhile now though. I play that specific type of cow that goes to great lengths to ensure he is NOT that retard who saves the enemy team with his knockback. I walk (or Flash) right up to someone, stun them, walk past them then headbutt them back into my team. That's it. That's all I do. I know he can WQ and do that fancy combo but that's kind of being an on-click Leona combo without so much follow up. You're wasting the displacement as a gap closer in my mind.

Top is mostly the domain of scary melee bruisers and i've been fucking shreked up there too many times by some tough to deal with **** like a half decent Jax. If I have to top I just play Singed. Get Catalyst/ROA and Tear, hit 6, farm between towers. I don't even care about whoever was laning against me at that point, he's just background noise. By 25/30 minutes I expect to be doing full proxy and pulling all three minion waves in their base for the absolute stupidly good pushing power ever. All minions die before they hit their inhib tower, god bless whoever thought that up.

Aside from Singed who is always playing a totally different game from the other 9 people in the game, I played Irelia in Season 2 and fed horribly and I can play Elise decently but she's probably the safest person you could possibly play in top lane so it's sort of cheating.

My main AD Carry is unsurprisingly Ezreal. Who hasn't thought "I WANNA MAIN EZREAL!" at some point in their League career? He has my favourite sort of skillset, three damage skills and one massive damage skill as an ult. The Trueshot Barrage animation never gets old for me, he's the most anime type character in the game. Like, if League got made into an anime you can be sure he would be the main character.

My mid lane pool is really limited. Ever since they nerfed Twisted Fate's... Everything, several patches in a row I can't really autolock him every game I get stuck with mid anymore. New Xerath is my go to mid now because that range is criminal and good luck stopping him from farming, I still can play Diana especially after the buffs to her shield and she's one of the least mage-ish mages out there. You need to hit one skill then just jump on their face, might be a good one for you maybe.

I have roundabout 7 junglers though. Jarvan, Vi, Hecarim, Nocturne, Aatrox, a bit of Darius, sometimes Rengo but he's very high risk high reward cuz he tends to either be totally useless if he doesn't get rolling or when he does get going he oneshots everything immediately, Eve, Elise and a spell of Nasus. I jump around the list a lot but I always come back to J4 and Vi.

I get frustrated, sure, but not really angry. Maybe I did when I was a kid, but not now.

This week, I was replaying F-Zero GX for the Gamecube. Anyone who has played that game will tell you it's one of the hardest games of that console generation. When I got stuck at trying to beat one of the story missions on Very Hard after 50 tries, I didn't ragequit. I simply would grip the controller, hit "Retry", and told myself I wouldn't let this game beat me. Sure enough, I eventually did.

On a side note...WHERE IS THE NEW F-ZERO GAME, NINTENDO?!

I jump around the list a lot but I always come back to J4 and Vi.

That's generally how I play him too, aside from when I play him as a big wall protecting the team. I do often wind up hitting people over wall on accident though, or mistaking the angle between our models because I'm so damn huge.

Singed is a totally legitimate top lane, and my personal best one as well. I just love making everyone hat me and then running around while they can't kill me. It's like a more effective teemo taunt strategy, since he can actually kill people and do teamfight stuff. He does suck miserably right now though, which is sad considering he's the main reason I made gold.

At this point it seems like everybody just wants to play Caitlin, so I guess that liking Ez is edgy again. It's only edgy because he's not that good right now, but that's irrelevant. I really do wish there was more variety in adc's though, but I guess that's a pipe dream.

I can play Katarina... Poorly. Luckily, everybody else in the world loves mid. Thank God.

Jungle is where I have the most variety too. I play Wukong and Panth as my best champs right now, Udyr is the champ I've been playing the longest and know inside and out, Amumu is the only ap jungler I can play well, though I do play zac occasionally, Rango is the best champ in the world and I love him like he was my own, and every now and then I'll play a game or two as Lee Sin or Pony. I do like Vi and J4 too. They're loads of fun. I'll probably start playing a lot of Vi when Panth gets nerfed to hell.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Nah. I play games to help deal with anger issues. Games are probably one of the reasons I'm so laid back.

But games also aren't as frustrating as they used to be. I remember being a kid and getting angry at games like Ninja Gaiden (1) or Caslevania (1) but they were really hard. You'd kill all sorts of crazy mutants only to get knocked off a ledge by a bird and have to start at the beginning of the level.

 

[waj9876]

I used to get really pissed off at my old Zelda games. And a lot of games actually.

The most recent one I can remember happened the week Dark Souls 2 came out. My first two or three deaths were not my fault. At all. I got so pissed at that.

Seriously though, they make fall damage do so much more damage than before, and then change the way using ladders work, and they don't tell anyone. That whole "Welcome to Dark Souls" trophy thing they have going is kind of undermined when it was the game's fault that I died that first time. Like it's saying "We know you liked the hard but fair difficulty of the first one, so here's an updated and wholesome experie-FUCK YOU! PSYCH! WE'RE CHEAP AS HELL NOW!"

And then I stopped being a filthy casul and learned how to play. And then I realized the game wasn't as cheap as I thought it was when the rage was flowing through my veins instead of blood.

Still a good deal cheaper than it was in the first Dark Souls. It's almost like the developers have a really good general idea, but just don't quite realize what made the first one great.

 

[Maximum Bert]

Sometimes I do although nothing like I used to now its more like *sigh* FFS before it was EXPLETIVES CAPSLOCK!!!!!!!. Fighters are the games I get most pissed off but they also give me the most satisfaction its like a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

If I start to get real pissed off now I just turn the game off and chill that shits not worth it. Also fuck you Law and Kazuya on Tekken Revolution how many times must I beat you? HOW MANY? Somebody please pick another character I know they are god tier and easy to use especially in lag but just choose someone else please. Ok rant over.

 

[Eve Charm]

So how about everyone else. Do you get angry while gaming? How do you deal with it?

Not much at the games per say but I almost damn near lost it after accomplishing some hard challenges and using some skip stickers in a match of plants vs zombies only to have the server crash at the end of the game, take away the completed challenges, not give back the skip stickers and waste a good 20 mins... something was thrown.
