Play a game that causes even more anger, you'll find that you never get mad at stupid shit in other games when you have to deal with a lagging Blanka who you swear you just DP'd but you got crouching jab.

As for someone who struggles with constantly being toxic and having dealing with really bad anger issues, I can relate to you on several fronts. Whenever I'm angry after a loss I physically take myself out of the situation. IE: I take a walk around my house, or go outside and take a walk around my apartment building.

As for the times where you can't remove yourself during a match and something that upsets you occurs like getting killed during a 1v1 or something that can happen during a match to provoke your anger. What I usually do is try to pep talk myself into not getting angry, I make a conscious effort to try to prevent it and calm myself down. There is more important tasks at hand during my match than getting angry, getting angry will not change the outcome of a situation, so just focus on the task that lies ahead and play instead of distracting yourself with negative emotions.

I still suffer from being toxic and getting angry on several occasions, but I hope my words have helped you and perhaps I should take my own advice from time to time.

Good luck dealing with it in the future because I understand your struggle.

I listen to Chill music to distract the fact that I'm seriously the worst TF2 player ever. Some artists that seem to help are

- The XX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pib8eYDSFEI)

- Plastic Beach Era Gorilaz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-yP9f0gadU)

- Peter, Bjorn and John (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51V1VMkuyx0)

- Post 1998 Red Hot Chili Peppers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzJj5-lubeM)

- Modest Mouse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK1bi4emEkk)

- MGMT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZexg8sxyk)

- Tame Impala (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wycjnCCgUes)

- Keane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx4Hjq6KwO0)

- Post 2002 Radiohead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lstDdzedgcE)

Bear in mind these are just some artists I like, I know a lot of people don't really like these artists.

I also used to play a lot of Boson X as a kind of brainless thing to do, which was fun for about 40 hours then I got bored. Rocksmith was also fun, but either my cable or my pickup seems to be broken because whenever I plug it in I just hear loud, high pitch feedback. My new brainless game is Lethal League's single player challenge mode.

I always just vent without pushing down my push to talk.
