it's terrible to queue alone for pub games... it can be really frustrating
am barely playing dota now cause I always end up in retardedly bad teams.

Nerdrage is tough to contain if dota is something you do hours and hours daily.

If possible the best thing to do would be to instantly start TKing him. Block him. Give your items to the enemy. Start killing your own main and ALt tab. Show him you have other shit to do but you will happily waste his time. ruin the game, lol at him, then bounce.

you are pure evil

can't do these things in dota 2 thou
and if you afk or disconnect you can get banned or moved to the low priority queue, which is terrible

You can steer your reaction from anger towards sadness by understanding how utterly helpless you are to do anything about it. Anger always carries the implication that you can do something about it, or that somehow other people will start respecting you because you are angry. Online, in a video game, queued with a random, this never works. Look at your helplessness, accept it, and feel your emotional response shift to sadness.

Once sad instead of angry, you can fix it by loosening up and enjoying yourself more.
