Good on you for quitting rage games. I used to have this issue as well and after taking a few years off of them, I was able to get back into them without the anger and frustration.
I only play online games with friends now and only for fun. I actually just got into Fortnite and it’s really fun to play and just kinda goof around with friends in. If we win it’s nice but if we don’t it’s not a big deal. The game is so goofy that it’s hard to get mad at.
But when you do start realizing that the main games you play just piss you off, you need to take a step back and try to find what games actually let you have fun and what conditions you have fun under. For me it’s either single player games, or multiplayer games casually with friends.
I’d probably lose my mind playing Valorant alone but it’s really nice and casually with a group of people just talking and playing together.
Valorant, Fortnite, phasmophobia, grounded, and overwatch 2 are probably the best group games I play at this point. I can’t recommend league sadly because everyone I play with also just gets angry at this point lmao.
That's the exact reason I love playing Fortnite with friends -- and if we get tired of the main Battle Royale we seek out a custom map. We played a Wipeout themed death run last night, and you just can't get mad when you lose if you lose to Lil Whip or Goku
