Tbh the problem is more with u than the game. if u lose control to a point where u damage things out of anger should be a warning, maybe u should try to seek help? because if u are this way playing a video game u probably act equal in other situations and endanger other people just because u arent able to control ur temper. changing behaviour is rly dificult without profesional help so maybe u give it a try.
I was playing hearthstone and i kept loosing while trying to be creative on my decks.
After witnessing like over 98% of hs just being net decks, and kept loosing.
my anger grew up and i yeeted a mini fan for a phone which ricocheted on my 42 inch tv in my living room.
I remember punching my computer screen after disconnecting in WoW. I was main-tanking Anubarak in ToC25, it was going to be our guild's first kill and the DC happened at like 7%
Couldn't play for days while I replaced the screen. It was at that point that I knew I had serious issues regarding gaming addiction.

At least i don't need to feel lonely on the fact that, i am not going through the same stuff alone.
But yeah, its like, you don't have allot of way of having fun, and when frustration keeps building, it just turns into smashing.
congrats for beein openminded enough to seek help seriously. are u still in therapy? did it accomplish something for u?
Been at doctors, therapist, social planners, social organizers, social activities and used meds and so on. It has been the worst 3 months atm of my time.
Mostly just because unavoidable feelings, mood changes and events that cause my mind to just turn into mashed potatoes.
Are you aware that this is well beyond the realm of reasonable behavior or do you need someone to tell you that you would likely benefit from seeking some help in managing outbursts like this?
He is a man, he is supposed to have outbursts like that. :)
It's probably a good idea to take a break from the game for a while. I understand it can be frustrating sometimes, but it's not worth it to break your own stuff over it.
I have been paying a lot of attention to your posts, Pherosizm. I don't know how you do it, but you are one of the most peaceful posters I have seen in this forum for a long time. Good job! :)
I like to get up to D5 for the rewards. Don't care for Legend but with the stars bonus it is doable every month. The fastest way to do it is play a net deck (or modified, slightly, if you are so inclined). Can't beat them - join them. It goes quicker that way. I then do whatever I like, it's all homebrews until the end of the season past D5.
When the meta gets stale I play once every 2-3 days. I can do multiple quests in one go and don't get frustrated with it as much. Still get the exp., just more efficiently. That's where I get the enjoyment when facing the same deck for the 100th time. At least I get EXP and progress. I remind myself that they will nerf something in a few days... mini-set is coming etc. There's always something you can do to manage the frustrating aspects.
The biggest of all was already mentioned: acceptance. You will win and you will lose. 100% both of those things will happen. And there will be long streaks of win and long streaks of loss sometimes. That, too, will pass.

Very high of motivation and in sight on hearthstone.
I thank you for the thoughtful feedback.
I should probably do the same after maybe, week or so.
I know i am doing empty wishes but for me, i would literally just want a working concept for the classes or class i play.
Shaman has been my main since shudderwock, not because shudderwock otks but because the randomness and fun you could have, i made a shudderwock dragon shaman even.
The point is, shaman for example should only have 2-3 archtypes which would be bolstered around between expansions and than change em up little bit.
Like for evolve shaman, evolve spells instead.
For totems, use them as weapons.
Elementals could do effects that effect the board.
Thats how you can be even more creative and fun! But because blizzard decided to give freeze,dragon,totem, elementals,weapons,overload,spell, battlecry, jade archtypes jam packed to one class. It makes it harder to be creative when there are minimal amount of tools supporting each archtype fully.
This game is based on luck and random factors. Game is too polarized most of the game are decided based on your opponent's class. If it makes you angry get some help.

I'd fire up some different games, when you fix your tv. Multiplayer games are tilting by nature. AAA SIngleplayer story driven games like those Sony make are considerably less frustrating, spectacular and entertaining in a different way.
If money is an issue, well ps4 is pretty old and the games are cheap - Uncharted series, Control, God of War, Last of Us, Horizon, etc.
I broke my TV as a kid and vowed to never break anything gaming related ever again. I don't have a huge problem with raging anymore but it's never worth a broken controller/keyboard/etc
Years ago, in the old secret paladin’s days, I broke my iPad in half on my knee. I add its cost to the thousands of euros I’ve wasted in this addiction.
On a side note, I thought that gambling was limited to packs but I recently learned that it’s far worse than I thought, as everything in the game can possibly be twisted into maddening situations and not actual RNG. Check it.

I just laugh about that opinion. You ever played moba and where forced to end a ranked with 4 pre-made? You ever got flamed to death? It's the internet, saying it's probably equal to real life actions is hilarious...
And what professional help are you suggesting? You don't have to spend money for something so undramatic
Yeah, this game can trigger you in ways you never thought possible. Losing to the most ridiculous RNG related crap, having an opponent with an empty hand topdeck into their one and only out, losing to bad players that make outrageous misplays for any number of reasons, etc. And the weird thing is, this is quite literally the only game I play that actually makes me this angry (albeit rarely), and yet I still play it.
That being said though, I play relatively casually and after the first month or so of an expansion, I pretty much go into auto-pilot, doing my daily/weekly quests and getting my occasional Tavern Brawl freebie pack. The more aggravating BS I run into, the quicker I simply resort back to an auto-pilot mindset. When rank resets, I'll climb back to either Rank 5 Diamond or Legend, depending entirely how I feel about it (and again, usually depending on how annoyed I get during the ladder climb), then go back on auto-pilot. I've asked myself more than once why I continue playing because there have been several times I'll catch still playing while having 0 fun because something pissed me off. Once I realize that, I pretty much force myself to turn the game off.
I have taken occasional hiatuses from the game, taking a few months off and even uninstalling once or twice, but new expansion excitement always reels me back in and for a time, I'll really enjoy the new content. Playing with the new cards, making new decks and having a lot fun with it. But eventually, the meta settles and before long, the few Tier 1 meta decks are discovered and you find yourself playing 90% of your games against the exact same 3 or 4 decks over and over and over and it just becomes stale as shit.

Dead but dreaming
I am. 5 years in the making.
time to get a heavy bag my man
Just take a rest and go play some other relaxing game, I recommend League of Legends. You will find peace there.
<pre id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Prijevod"> </pre>I might go back to it. Playing againts bots or something.
Its kinda fun, just really slow and repetitive.
More fun with a friend, if the friend doesn't get too yelly.
