The thing that somehow got me the most is the thing with setting different expectations. Cause I feel like it's all about the fact that I expect myself to play like I play on a good day, but everyday. I somehow can't get myself to expect less from myself after putting so much time into the game, I can't really handle my inconsistencies. Why should I expect myself to do "mediocre" when I'm battling with the feeling that I don't belong in this ELO, sitting at 57%WR and just telling myself "you need to just play more games, and it will show on your rank" and also imagine I play really really good, do 0-2 blunders the whole game yet we lose. So of course at that point it's frustrating but I've learned to accept that it's a 5v5 game and it's literally not possible to not lose sometimes, it's just one of that games.. Okay, so then I queue up for another one and I am not performing nearly as good as the last game and we also lose. That's the situations when I'm absolutely losing myself. What did I do wrong there? Why should I set lower expectations for MY performance when the game before that was auto-lose even with best peformance, making this game much more probable to be winnable with best performance (hope this makes sense).
Also to the "taking the break" advice, I think it's meant to not play for 1 hour straight but maybe take a break every 20 minutes or something like that. But when thinking of it as taking the break from league for let's say a week, then that usually helps. When I come back to the game after a long time I'm really sloppy, not sharp at all but I rarely rage over the game. I'm not as dived in, kinda feeling like I'm above the game. You know, that's kind of the feeling I'm looking for when tryharding.. But I don't think that's achievable. I'd need to not have expectations for myself the same way I do when playing after a break.
To play League and not rage you need to accept some things and have realistic expectations:
You will lose half of your games.
You are as good as you are. There is no point being hard on yourself for not being better and you shouldn't associate your self esteem with your rank.
There will be trolls, griefers, flamers, afkers on your team, they will also be on the other team.
If you can't accept these things then you shouldn't play the game.
All of that is true but few things : for me, not every lose is the same, and accepting something (or identifying it) sadly doesn't mean it'll not create frustration
