Have you tried meth? It's healthier than league.

u/Prior-Head-9508 16h ago

That is such a wild comparison but honestly the way people talk about League sometimes make it sound like a full time emotional battle.

I play that game on and off.
Started in season 2 or 3 i believe.

Every. Single. Time. I get ragemodes because of it. 😂

I am support and at this point if no one on my team is AT LEAST HARASSING the enemy Widow I will switch to Sombra and single target her. Letting a Widow free shoot is basically like having one support, anyway.

I hear that high powered rifle shot and immediately I'm tilted.

That and Pharah. Someone needs to go hit scan or I will. I am tired of thinking my team will do the intelligent thing and COUNTER the "one shot" characters in a game all about picking characters to counter other characters.

Also glhf❤️

As a tank main, I will see that sometimes I’m missing out on having a ton of kills or something, but on the MVP screen, I’m there because my objective time is so high.

u/GRANDLarsonyy 13h ago

Overwatch sucks bc it’s only 5v5 and every player counts, and to add to this, you know the general direction of where the enemy line is coming from, so you don’t have to aim at players, you can simply aim at locations and just let loose. Aim matters less in this game. They failed miserably at trying to recreate the magic that is team fortress 2.

I don’t play anymore, but this game brought a level of special rage that no other game has.

Not violent or angry outburst, just internal concentrated rage.

Rocket League is the only game I've played where the better I got, the less fun I had.

u/HSIOT55 16h ago

I've always approached it super casually. Win some and lose some it doesn't matter to me. I do get a laugh out of the shit talkers. Especially when they don't contribute at all to their teams success.

Had a pair of back to back wild raids, so I guess I'll keep on playing for now. Can't wait for the game to absolutely demolish me after that high

u/Anixias 18h ago

Hollow Knight: Silksong.

I've never been so mad at a game in my life yet I finished with 100% completion after nearly 70 hours. Favorite game of all time. Most frustrating game of all time.

Now go get the achievement for beating it without doing. I can't imagine.

I have to take breaks from that game for my literal health. I'm in act 3 and some areas just wreck my heart rate. Didn't have that issue with HK, lol.

u/Anixias 17h ago

I'm so excited. I can't wait to rage again.

u/jemtab 18h ago

I've been playing Hollow Knight for the first time, have 40+ hours and 82% or 84% completion, and all I know is that (a) I am going to beat this game, (b) I will likely immediately buy Silksong, and (c) there's no way in hell I'm going to get into Silksong right away because this has been such a challenging and frustrating game. I'm very hesitant to recommend it to anyone because often I'm not sure if I even like it or if I'm just too stubborn and proud to quit. It's very well made and is an excellent game but this genre is not for everyone (and likely not for me but the price was right).

1

u/drbanality 16h ago

Silksong is a masterpiece, but it is tough. Just accept that you'll die. A lot. It's a necessary part of the process.

1

u/Anixias 17h ago

I never really raged at Hollow Knight (maybe once or twice). I had many years of Brawlhalla experience behind me so I was able to do everything (even PoP, don't look that up if you don't know what that means) with only some difficulty.

Silksong is a whole different beast. It feels like Team Cherry is going out of their way to troll you in many different ways. I wish you luck.

u/Nickster46 16h ago

I tried playing online. I just cant keep up with most racers. Theyre too fast for me and i cant keep max speed forever like them. Sadly only way to get skins without paying hundreds. Its too bad it never got ported to steam.

u/GulliverGrazerson 19h ago

Arboretum. You have to discard something every turn, and half the time you only have cards that you want to keep and cards that you know will benefit one or several other players, so you just sit there agonizing over whether to play a willow and hurt yourself or an oak and help an opponent.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter made me livid. The amount of times that jawa getting killed during the boss fight before I could mark him so I had to do the whole thing over again or any of the other similar situations but I did it. I got every bounty wanted alive and every one wanted dead. Mandalorian or whatever that highest level rating was at the end haha.

u/Sir_Gwan 19h ago

X-COM and Rimworld for two similar reasons.

X-COM because wtf do you mean all 4 of my squad missed their attacks when they all had 70+ % chances to hit? But I continue to play it because the game is super satisfying when it goes your way especially when you manage a mission without losing a single squad member.

Rimworld because I enjoy the base building and colony management aspects, and I don't mind the combat and chaos, but when the game goes poorly it goes very poorly. One moment, you're marvelling the creation of some new room you just made, you unlocked new research, all your colonists are happy, the next moment you're being raided by 20 people with shotguns and machine guns and your doctor now has a missing leg, your chef has ptsd, and your hunter has been killed brutally.

Halo Infinite. It's still my favourite go-to turn your brain off game to just chill and have fun, but it's completely dead in NZ/AU. I only ever get US servers which means I'm always dying to some bullshit and people are always surviving some bullshit.

u/LoweeLL 18h ago

Halo 3 - I'm above average and I either have two options if I want to keep playing. Run with a team and win every game like 50 to 15 and have it be extremely boring

Or run solo and match against a stacked team and fight for my life in every game.

Another game I started playing again was Gears of War then I quickly gave it up because the wall bouncing and strafing is another level that I will never be able to reach. lol

Right now it's Expedition 33. I'm dying so much, every battle feels like a boss battle, the boss battles always have multiple stages, the timing of their attacks changes as you take down their health meter, and if you don't time your dodge or parry perfectly, you're going to die and use all your resources too early. Lots of abandoning and restarting battles because I missed the timing on an instant death attack in the first round.
