What to do when you get frusterated.

[Chief Sosa]

So, I have been having a problem. I get really frustrated and just rage quit so hard. I really want to stop doing this but I just cannot help it some times. For example, when Meep kills me with the Flamethrower+Compression+Flare gun combo. That grinds my gears. Or when I get in a huge stump. I just dont know what to do. Any one have any tips for calming down and not rage quitting?

 

[Captain Killjoy]

Step 1: Choose engineer.
Step 2: Find the best strategic spot possible.
Step 3: Set up shop.
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit! (and hopefully calm down)

 

[VP :3]

Just take a breather.

Take a deep breath (or three), switch to a different class you might not play often, give away your hats to charity...

Eat a fish. Double points if you catch it with your mouth.

[Fermonx]

I can't help you, when i rage i blame everyone and give my wall a falcon punch then close TF2 xP

 

[Shiznoe]

I just take deep breath's, maybe switch to a different class and just run around for a little bit.

1.) Switch to Scout
2.) Shoot some bullets into some pyros
3.) If airblasted shoot pyro in the face and double jump out of there
4.) repeat
5.) ???
6.) profit

i have found that Falcon Kicking someone in the nads really helps

Actually, when I get frustrated, I go switch to engineer. I just find a good spot that is good if a spy comes, because they are really your only threat. And even if an uber destroys everything, the 20 sentry kills makes me feel like I did good

This, I setup a Pandora station with all kinds of relaxing and classical music, but its still fairly intense. I play that station almost whenever I'm playing videogames and I stay nice and calm the whole time and just generally find myself having more fun.

I sometimes play either a disturbed or dance music station if I'm feeling a bit aggressive, but usually its the calm one

I try my best not to show my frustration, but sometimes it gets the better of me and I start saying things like "I'm going to throw my mouse" etc. Typically, though, "wow" is the extent of my frustration.

As for dealing with it, I normally just take a break.

 

[Volcom]

When I rage on DOD:S, I just literally quit and watch an episode or two of a show.

Why ask me?

Great idea for a post Fuzzy!
I have been there as well. I mostly get irritated on Offense when it feels like I am the only one going for the cap (even though that may not be the case) and our team keeps getting pushed back like on Dustbowl.

I remind myself that sometimes you win some sometimes you lose. I have been on both sides many times.

What helps me is I will transition to a support role such as Engineer and help the team "behind the scenes" so to speak. Teles, dispensers, etc... I feel less pressure in this role and I end up helping the team anyways on some occasions.

Now with my "G" status, I will go to spectator mode and just try to ADMIN the server for a while if there are no other ADMINS around.

Having said all that, I still rage out at times and take a break. :crying:

 

[N-Light]

You know what makes me rage, wize trolls.

 

[Caped_Sensei]
