In Flames?

Everyone gets frustrated, sure, but some people are more prone to those cascading mistakes than others. I do it now and then, whereas Kortin does it much more frequently.

I haven't. :P

It doesn't happen often to me, but I have some...very odd cases. Like a 70 minute 21-2 Sniper game which we barely won (I was getting so frustrated with my team that I started making mistakes left, right and center), and that other game that I told you about a while ago where I left a game that was pretty much won because I was detrimental to my team.

I think I'm too passive. I miss out on too many opportunities, even playing AD. Playing anything else, it makes me pretty much useless.

It also means you get caught out less, and don't fall prey to greed. That was pretty much the inhouse players' biggest weakness. Plus, you make up for it via the extra farm.

I'm ashamed I still have In Flames discography on my HDD.

Exactly. Everyone rages and gets frustrated, but every individual shows it (or doesn't show it) in different ways. Personally, I usually never rage, but when I do or I get frustrated, I just get quieter and terser. Usually more focused too, but while trying to maintain enough awareness that I don't get totally tunnel visioned.

In Flames is the first or second (can't really remember) melodic death metal band I listened to. In Flames is one of the bands that got me into metal and even tho I don't listen to them that much these days they're really really good. Just bought an sounds of a playground fading shirt last month.

and all the LoL talk going on right now ;_; I haven't played in days and I'm soooo close to lvl30... cba to play atm even when there are some champs I want to test on the rotation. well I'm not that good anyways I guess. I suck at ad carrys. I mostly play top lane or jungle, sometimes mid. but (solo) top <3

In Flames is my melodeath band of choice. They didn't get me into metal, I grew up listening to metal and rock thanks to my mom being a MASSIVE metal head in her day, as well as my aunt, so yeah there's that. And yes, in flames are really really good, i just like come clarity (album) more than any other. The song aint half bad either. My favorite in flames song though will ALWAYS be Reflect the storm. always. And I'm an ap Mid player in Lol. I CAN Ad carry solo top and jungle, i suck at support, but i prefer my AP mid <3

I don't think playing Irelia is helping, since ideally she does just farm passively until she can get Trinity Force and Wit's End.

I usually get both quieter and louder (quieter in the game, louder IRL), though I think I can usually still discern between my own stupid mistakes and those of the team. I tend to downplay myself a whole lot more in those conditions as well.

All that shows is that you're playing her the way she's meant to be played. And I've only seen you play her once, so I can't really say much else.

Does anyone know how to increase microphone volume even further than what the volume setting and microphone boost can do?

Right now it's as if I'm whispering.

Nope, not working. Tomorrow.

Those are the hardest things to deal with in LoL IMO. Some of the cases are pretty cut-and-dried, but sometimes--especially when it comes to hectic lategame teamfights--it's really hard to tell who did what wrong, or if wasn't any one error but a compounded set of them made by the team as a whole.

I just get straight-up quieter. I'll talk less on Skype or Vent and I won't say anything in chat (although I don't say a whole lot there either, usually).

Oh man I feel like shit.

Wtb happy youtube video's and images... And pony...

Check for a control on the headphones. If not there, check your Sound System area in the Control panel. If it's a 3rd party program, like live stream or ventrilo, it can be boosted in the settings.

Buy better mic?
Also, what Frey said.

Whenever I would play LoL with Ziru and that one guy I can't remember the name of we just laughed at each other and called each other names when we made dumb mistakes. But it's not like I played ranked matches or anything. I was just filthy casual.

In all fairness, it's merely the fact that I pay way too much attention to myself that allows me to say (a bit more clearly) if it was me or them that made a mistake. I think just about everyone here knows that I'm morbidly afraid of messing up.

Even when I can clearly see that it wasn't predominantly my fault I still tend to think "was there something that I could've done earlier that would've made things a bit better for us here?" And then my self-deprecation kicks in and I end up saying "of course, you idiot."

I need to fix that.

I'd say that's a good thing. While you sacrifice a slight bit of communication, it also makes you far less prone to raging. And raging isn't good.

Also, trains.

Only thing I really have, and I've been over using it since I got it.

It's a standalone microphone with no controls.

Ventrilo doesn't pick up anything at all, Skype does pick up something - when I'm furiously blowing into the mic.

But then I stand at a risk of buying something that doesn't work either!

Ventrilo. Settings. Outbound. Boost it up.

Or check your sound settings in your control panel first.

I have my favorite songs on all of their albums. I guess Satellites and Astronauts is my favorite song. Now I remember that In Flames was the second metal band I listened to. The first one was Soilwork. Distortion Sleep was the one of the first metal songs I heard and it's still one of my favorites.

If there's nothing interesting on the rotation I tend to play Olaf, Panth or Renek top or some other champ I just can't remember now. I like solo tops, dual tops are lame and a pain in the ass tbh. Panth jungle is a lot of fun too, 2-4 kills around 8-10min are nice^^

Soilwork is pretty good, i've listen to a few of their songs and what i've heard I've enjoyed.

And I love pantheon. My friend use to do a taric pantheon bot kill lane, oh my god it was amazing. Not even a SORAKA AND VAYNE boy lane combo could beat us. He normally picked up clarity and got mana manipulator early on, so i was good with mana the whole time, and with his heal i would fine on health. I would constantly poke with my spear, and when we went in for a kill he would stun, i would spear, i would jump stun, he would aoe smashy smash, and i would just beat them up till they died.
