How To Get Good - Fun Not Rage

[@galvanizeddreamer2051]

The best way for me to not rage: is to respect your opponents' skill. Know that they did better than you, and know that you must and can get better.

[@ahloo6920]

This is amazing advice man. I always try to be positive and compliment the enemies in valorant because I know they are better then me and i accept that.

[@neybar6435]

I LOVE THIS

[@PredatorAlan]

pretty hard to have fun sometimes when you have russians swearing at you for no reason and loosing your matches...csgo at ANY rank

[@menro0208]

+PredatorAlan CYKA BLYAT

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+PredatorAlan Haha I've heard about them. Can't mute them?

[@Zero-or9ow]

+Rocket Jump Ninja yeah, you can mute them but thats not what you want :) i have to comunicate with alle of your teamates to win the match. would be cool if valve add a unranked comeptitive :)

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Tobi ★ CS:GO Channel ★ Ah ok, well yeah that's a problem then. Just have to get your Zen on and stay calm anyway haha

[@namelessone3246]

+PredatorAlan I am from Russia and i feel sorry for these bastards. Just want to let you know that it's just some kid's with mental problems , don't take it seriously , ever. The majority of families in Russia don't give a shit a bout a proper upbringing of their kids , and that's what happens , as a result. Lack of education , not even specific but in general , is the case too. So , they are poor bastards , that was fucked up from their childhood and grew up in an environment full of conflict. Feel sorry for them and don't react , that's only choice you have. You cant even imagine how easier would be your life if you stop reacting at all. At the end of the day it's only speech and nothing else . Well , there is even a reason to learn russian a little bit to be able to defend yourself if you really want it =)

[@rraggne]

Watching your How to Get Good series makes me motivated to enjoy gaming more. I just hope that I'm looking for the fun in gaming, not the losing/ winning side. Keep making these kind of videos Zy.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Glad to hear it, will do once I get time again!

[@michakus1308]

Very helpful video! I often raged in CS, because I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I was getting frustrated and that kept me away from playing. I realized that I just can't be "the best" now, but maybe someday. To achieve something you must be patient.

[@Vollk7]

+Michał Kuś true

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Michał Kuś Thanks! Yeah patient and also keep expectations realistic... something I've learned from gaming, unless you get something from it or you enjoy it, you're wasting your time.

[@WildWolf-pu4pj]

These videos are the reason that i still have friends

[@Merjia]

This is why this is the best gaming KZbin channel. Real talk.

[@DefiantFrost]

I think as well just accepting your mistakes is important too. Like in one of your previous videos, just do your best and if it didn't work out, that's okay, try and look at what you did wrong and try to do better next time. I've just been playing CS for fun and over the last few weeks I've noticed a huge improvement.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+TicTacMage (DefiantFrost) Yeah for sure, can always learn something new from a mistake.

[@DefiantFrost]

Oscar Wilde once said "experience is the name we give our mistakes." If you want to follow that train of thought you could argue that the only way to get experienced is to make those mistakes.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

TicTacMage (DefiantFrost) It's a good quote. What's the other one, no better teacher than failure? Something like that. Either way, gotta just give things a try and see what happens sometimes.

[@wisadoublev8899]

Man your voice is so calming and relaxing.

[@IsabellaRosalina]

this game need more love 0:17 thank you for gameplay clip and the topic of this video.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+JDGotit All good, and will be playing more soon!

[@botspoderman239]

Nice vid! Every 8 years old russian boy playing csgo should watch it!

[@Naton]

very true...seems like ppl who rage tend to live in stressful environment

[@lewisclp9412]

you should play solider in tf2! you can rocket jump!

[@dud5606]

it used to be awesome

[@iLiokardo]

He's gonna have to make a jump-crouch script because of his key config to do a proper rocket jump. (a to jump, z to crouch) It's very simple though. steamapps, common, TF2, tf, cfg, create autoexec file (add .cfg to file name or save as config file, important)

[@gap6922]

It nkt the same

[@syv6173]

i mean the general movement is different in tf2

[@codmastertotheMAX]

OMG u should so upload some dirty bomb gameplay! I would really look forward to it! Also great video as always ;)

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Hidden Ninja I don't think I have time to learn to play it! I'll try though.

[@codmastertotheMAX]

Rocket Jump Ninja Whatever suits you :P

[@watsyurdeal]

So....I could have been a warrior??? I wanna go back in time now. XD

[@DrMerAlex]

Very good advice, I love playing battlefield, but with the state of the netcode the first year, it was truly an exercise in "rage control" But I have to say, when I manage to keep calm and not get mad for stupid stuff I play a 100 times better.. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Alexander Remman Yeah there are lots of frustrating things in games. Even the movement and pace of CS is frustrating to me, but I'm learning to be patient. Not that it has ever made me rage, just soooo boring haha I'll get used to it. Thanks!

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Smiley Boy Hey, just tested mine again, seems the left click is crisper than the right. It's fairly common for mouse buttons to be different like that. Even the latest mice I'm testing have that issue.

[@vespa731]

Awesome pointers! I'm still training myself not to get upset whenever I get killed in matches. It may take time. But I actually start playing worse when I try to be all zen-like in matches. Think of it like an NFL football game. What do they do before they play the game? They pump each other up, they don't meditate and go through slow breathing exercises. Same goes for me and my team. I tried going zen for a few days and I was playing worse (10-39, 3-22, 11-25, literally I was playing very poorly). It's as if the only way I can actually play 'well' is if I'm rather angry and alert. When my heart rate and mood is more tense, I actually aim better. I'll keep trying I guess.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+VESPA5 Yeah I've had that before, where it takes some rage to actually wake myself up and play properly. I wonder if some quick physical exercise before playing would have the same effect... both would get the blood pumping and mind alert, so do we actually need the emotion along with it?

[@fernandojason230]

Suprised that you also play TF2! Very good video Zy,this made me realise how often i rage in TF2 and other competitive game,usually because of unsupportive teammates.Thanks for your opinions and thoughts! Just curious,what tf2 map is it?

[@OperationGames45]

hey! who are you?!

[@fernandojason230]

your brother from different mom 😂

[@lewisclp9412]

Fernando Jason Anggoro the map is koth_highpass

[@товарищсобачка]

That very last sentiment is why I don't want to play games anymore. I get so worked up trying to win and I feel like I'm letting myself and my friends down when I can't help us win. Raging makes me feel shitty and raging at (or even near) my friends makes me feel extra shitty. I think it's better if I don't play with my friends anymore, which means I just don't play anymore.

[@definitelynotjin]

if only the whole gaming community found about this video, the internet will be a better place...

[@OnlyNeedJuan]

I quit competitive modes for say Overwatch because I just got stuck in feeling bad whenever I lost, and winning didn't stick with me the same way. Playing just casually, not really giving a shit, has improved my fun in games so much. I am less stressed when gaming, andj ust generally have a much better time. I stopped caring about performance, and started focussing on fun. Is a game not fun to me, I stop playing and look for something else, it's that simple. It has gotten me to play more fresh titles that I enjoy a lot more aswell, expanding the types of games I play.

[@MrSteezy]

I used to rage so bad when I was in Highschool that my older brother would then rage at me for keeping him up when he had to work the next day. Now that I'm 26 it takes quite a lot to get me to get loud and irate and a video game is definitely not going to be one of things to do that.

[@CB_here]

What if you keep having trolls on your team

[@brey200ms]

The only time I have fun is if I beat other people and perform really well, but there's human inconsistency so I can't always perform well and in turn can't always have fun.

[@sladikk]

This is why I prefer more casual communities like that of first person shooters like Overwatch or TF2 over more serious ones like those of mobas

[@frindtlevente]

Very interesting... your accent sounds more like Southern English than Australian. Why?

[@elcreyo]

I just subscribed to your channel. Great video.

[@daysetx]

Fun game can has freezes, bad netcode or obivious ballance flaws (pay2win) exedra.

[@968Taiki]

Great video! Couldn't agree with you more! even if I am guilty of raging most of the time... xD

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+DooMKrusadeR Hey we've all been there, especially when people hide around doors and knife you continually. ;)

[@968Taiki]

+Rocket Jump Ninja xD Camos but yeah.. Karma has hit me hard.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

DooMKrusadeR haha bad luck :P

[@TheWorkingPeople]

good video, good points, all around good

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+TheWorkingPeople Thanks!

[@gap6922]

Fun fact sorce engine is just like highly modified quake engine

[@krempaskyy7771]

Hey look, he's playing tf2, the game I played competitively for 3 years lmao. Idk why but I found that interesting.

[@rogue4340]

I wish dirty bomb was still alive

[@mrgoodsound]

Is quake live still worth the price on steam? I'm a CS player but I enjoyed warming up with DM in Live when it was free. Not sure if people still play anything other than clan arena on the new paid version.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+sk8r boi Yeah I don't see many FFA servers anymore, but I'm in Australia, it was never popular. Not sure about the country you're in, but for me, Quake will always be worth it, even with low server counts.

[@pillmother4649]

Hey it's Dirty Bomb! It's a great game, I think you might like it. Very skill based and fast paced.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+pill mother I've heard it's very team based?

[@pillmother4649]

+Rocket Jump Ninja To an extent. A good team composition with medics is usually necessary, but in regular public matches its possible for an individual to hard carry. I think you would like it due to its emphasis on movement, positioning, and consistent aim.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

pill mother Going to play a few games with friends soon, so we'll see!

[@truegematria7024]

Good vid Zy!

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Carnage 0501 thanks Carn!

[@munfurai8083]

What's the first game?

[@yams3954]

dirty bomb

[@Semajawan]

Saying it's just a game is such a week mindset.

[@getgle]

Its not a game it's my fucking life

[@raimoa1ramsky]

Good vid. Somehow people don't get it :)

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+ramsky hah yeah it's ok though, they will in time ... maybe haha thanks!

[@kmah324]

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Kmah smith Rocket Jump Zen

[@Xielent]

Not sure if it is just me or not, but the framerate seems a bit wonky. Otherwise, nice video.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Jordaan Is it just in some sections? I think my computer struggles to record while playing at times... Thanks!

[@Xielent]

+Jordaan Never mind. That was just with the Dirty Bomb clip.

[@CPUmk2]

Pretty soon we will have fps bots that play indistinguishably from humans. Like, as long as you don't try using text chat, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And better yet, you wouldn't have to deal with lag or leavers. Do you think you would enjoy playing these against bots as much as humans, knowing what they are?

[@ericyida8723]

Yay tf2 :D. Good video !

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+EUSEIQUEVOCÊVAIPERDERTEMPOLENDOMEUNOME Thanks!

[@31Schweinsteiger7]

around 2 min you're playing quake against snowblind who used to be one of the best tf2 players in Australia

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+31Schweinsteiger7 Oh cool, was wondering who that was, figured it was another alias, not an actual player.

[@erikakesson280]

that dirty bomb game play is laggy af

[@jandresshade]

I have a problem with rage in games, but only in competitive games like cs go, but my problemas begin when I lose several games in a row, or when I have toxic people in my team, my english isn't good and I have to confront xenophobic people. when that happened I just stop playing for a couple days or weeks. lately i'm trying play for fun but is really hard to my no get angry. sorry for my english.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Andres Perez Takes practice and constant reminding of "just a game, muck around, have fun, it's all good... I don't get anything for winning, so who cares".

[@jandresshade]

Rocket Jump Ninja I know that, the problem is do it, before play I said to myself "it's just a game just enjoy" the trouble is that I forget it when I'm playing

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Andres Perez Write it on a post-it note and put it on your monitor, then make a habit of reading it every time you die. :P

[@jandresshade]

Rocket Jump Ninja well, I'm doing some of exercise every time I get upset(push ups or abs) and it has been helping

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Nice, keep at it.

[@s_seiya3868]

I don't rage when I lose, I rage when I lose because of lag/internet problems that weren't my fault XD

[@green_applezz3602]

- Sensei - an Ethernet cable is your friend

[@mimicr3y39]

its hard to have fun if your lagging both internet and computer lag

[@RocketJumpNinja]

If that's out of your control and you're not having fun, why are you still playing?

[@mimicr3y39]

​@@RocketJumpNinjaWell, sometimes I can control it, and sometimes I can't control it and just scream "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE IM LAGGINNGG" or I just sigh, I have never experienced smooth gaming except for one time when I borrowed a gaming laptop and if I play on ps4 but I still have that internet lag sometimes . P.S I only scream when I am home alone

[@mertj1508]

3:30 hes playing valve brand quake

[@BOXXYwhat]

i wonder how good you are at rocket jumping in tf2

[@DarkPa1neR]

You are very smart

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+pa1ner Glad you think so! :)

[@superdocmen1510]

I rage because of my ping and because of my super bad luck, and I can't avoid raging. It's horrible trying to play one game of CSGO a day with 996 ping on any freaking server, and when its lot lagging, I play super calmly and carefully, until the time I die in a stupid way and my stupid zero gamesense friends get jumpshot headshots with ak's and the enemy becomes herendous at the game

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+RandomCommenter123 Perfectly acceptable to rage at a 996 ping. Nah, you have to learn to go do something else... no point playing with that.

[@superdocmen1510]

Yeah true...

[@darklightning9319]

996 PING!!!! how do you have 996 ping?

[@Guanjyn]

Probably from a third world country.

[@zakh1579]

ik wut u mean i quit csgo cuz my ping i dn have gd internet and i cnt cuz i live in a shitty country

[@user-xw6uh3yp7g]

What do I get from winning? Well 3 wins in arcade is a loot box...

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Not getting a loot box is worth raging about.

[@dp2gaming994]

I rage all the time. I still have fun though.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+DP2gaming As long as it's fun I guess!

[@freezyt8445]

4:20 hehehe

[@HunterH]

What mouse is the one in your banner?

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+MasterManatees Mionix Castor... wait, it says it right in the banner! hah which banner are you talking about?

[@HunterH]

+Rocket Jump Ninja I guess I am the most blind man in the world! Thanks lol!!

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+MasterManatees :D

[@TheSlash389]

tried dirty bomb. I C what comment you probably read. Trying some new stuff is always good. Fun should be most important for gaming unless you play for living. Have fun free your mind for some time and do something u cant do but in game. Happy gaming

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+TheSlash389 For sure. I've had Dirty Bomb installed for ages, but I'm just trying different games again, see what's up.

[@andresorozco3860]

Which Quake is this one?

[@galvanizeddreamer2051]

Quake live, IIRC.

[@CurruptMonkee]

Do you rocket jump in TF2?

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Ａｍａｔｅｒａｓｕ I barely play it, so not really!

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Zesty Yeah it's no where near as quick though, takes the fun out of it for me.

[@ZestyMcLime]

Movement speed is a lot slower but there's more air control which I think is a nice tradeoff especially when there's a lot you can do with syncing rockets etc. QL and source movement systems are pretty different though, I never enjoy strafe jumping with w so I can understand why you wouldn't like the slower speed.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Zesty Yeah for sure, plus I'm actually not even a fan of air control in Quake CPMA... adds too much randomness, reduces fun. Just not my style of game really! I can see why others enjoy it though.

[@CurruptMonkee]

+Rocket Jump Ninja Hey there is a rocket jumping technique in TF2 called speed pogo, this allows you to go low to the ground and fast just how you like to in Quake :)

[@eriks2001eo]

video is 4:20 😎

[@lainev.8692]

why are you private on Steam :(

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Poot Villano (Lainey) Aww I'm sorry, but with a big list, it gets too hard to organize games with my Quake friends. Plus as much as I'd love to have games with everyone, I'm just too busy! And also too many people were looking me up ;) haha

[@JayPatel-cj3fk]

Which one was first game ?? Dirty bomb ??

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+jay patel Yeah Dirty Bomb

[@JayPatel-cj3fk]

+Rocket Jump Ninja ok thx bro

[@JayPatel-cj3fk]

+Rocket Jump Ninja can you make video on how to bind macros to Logitech mouse it will be ver y helpful to me and other Logitech mouse users right now I am using g303

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+jay patel I've never done it before but it should be easy enough. What would you want the macro to do?

[@mavocado5963]

Do you rocket jump in TF2 also?

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Mavocado I barely play TF2, so not really.

[@mavocado5963]

Thats too bad. TF2 is fun regardless though. I have over 1000 hours on it, and there is more to discover every time I play.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

That's huge.

[@mavocado5963]

+Rocket Jump Ninja HAha, not as huge as your play hours on quake series in total :)

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Mavocado I'm sure that number would be scary.

[@harrison9861]

is it me or is the dirty bomb gameplay laggy

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Harrison Knight I may need a better graphics card...

[@harrison9861]

Rocket Jump Ninja is it laggy for you or is it just a software error what gpu do you have man

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Harrison Knight It's just having trouble rendering the game while also creating the video of it. Geforce 750Ti is my card. Waiting on the new range to come out, then I'll upgrade, this should get me by.

[@harrison9861]

+Rocket Jump Ninja yh probally just the work load on the card

[@noobhacker101]

You would be a csgo god if you liked and played it...

[@Vollk7]

Do you play cs go?

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Shafu Sometimes.

[@esquireeventrade4838]

I'll use an example. Rank 60 EU overwatch players, majority of them use no mics to communicate and generally don't care about team compositions. You would have to be a saint not to rage at that level of ineptitude. Is it your fault that you get angry because its a team game and the chance of success is drastically decreased when they don't care about this. The answer is no. The fault lies with them and blizzard. I agree with this video in the framework of any online competitive game were a single player can consistently make a difference to the outcome of a match but it isn't universally applicable. In this scenario, yes generally its best to stay calm and try to carry. But in games like overwatch where 80% of the player base is spread out over 20 ranks and you get players that either have poor knowledge or just don't care its near impossible to maintain a zen attitude. They ruin the experience for everyone. And I'm not talking about next level strats or anything like that, just simple game knowledge. Similar issue in games like counter strike where bad voice comms drastically reduces the chance of winning the round. Players that just don't care deserve to be raged at and never let anyone tell you otherwise because if they don't care they have no place in a competitive scene. Modern day outrage culture at justifiable rage is so depressing.

[@yoyotuan]

vid length 4:20

[@RocketJumpNinja]

+Le Tuan Says 4:21 for me...

[@No-lx3wr]

Just a game?doesnt matter in real life?LOL NO! we spending so much time to this shit so that makes it realy important part of life and if we losing we rage cause it makes all the time you spend for it useless(not including the skills).Its like building an empire(in real life) and then the barbarians ruined it and not just conquer but ruined and burn the ground where empire was so all the things you do and all the time you spend to building an empire now means nothing cause now you have nothing you loose your empire all you have after it is a skill "How to build an empire".But hey did you realy want to spend another 5-30 years to build another empire when its so unstable and can be ruined by so many things?I think no cause hey you try,you make it,and then you loose it.SO dont spend your time to unstable things beter spend it to something effective like science caue if you open smth new in sicence the people will use it for a while time.Its all play a games have fun ;)

[@CodNeverEnds]

I mean I get the "have fun mentality" but you can't just fuck around in a competitive cs match and when you lose the game for your team say "it's just about fun" because in some scenarios it isn't just about fun.

[@hashashin7286]

You state theories as statements, can you back up any claims regarding far fetched ancestry DNA lingering claims. I believe its not the DNA but more so the EGO how players can view themselves as the best for stomping newbs but then they meet their match or get challenged and their ego takes a hit they then go into a state of denial instead of rising to the challenge and lose focus this leads to the rage and accusations a lot of times. Relaa ex BF pro talked about this in depth regarding pubstomping. I enjoy your videos and have always recommended them for your insight on mice setups etc but these claims are beyond your scope of production without context.
