yeah we are all also around the age of 30 
I calmed down since I had my baby. have to admit though that you instantly play better when you can stay calm.
It’s better to avoid them all together, really ruins the experience😭
Not liking to play without shields (I suppose he plays dps) is understandable. I love to play widow and still I don’t like others who pick widow because the majority are either super passive or they cannot aim. Anyways, raging and not liking certain setups is a completely different thing.
I have a friend who is a bad dps and whenever we queue in competitive as dps and lose he rages against tanks and supports. The problem with this mentality is not really the shield. The problem is that this prevents him for ranking up and be a better player.
Not picking shields means that you actually pick 2 off tanks. Off tanks like Roadhog can do loads of damage and get solo kills. This means that if you can adapt a bit as dps and pick something with more survivability (Soldier, Mei, Tracer) or play conservatively with others like McCree, you can still win the game easily if everybody does his thing.
not having shields actually transfers a lot of responsibilities to your supports (i.e. heal fast with good decision making) and exposes dps with bad positioning
that’s weird, they got kids but i haven’t noticed them calming down, it feels more like they pull out all their frustrations they have received from real life and spew it out online.

maybe it’s different because I am the mommy 
daddy also didn’t calm down much!
I used to have a friend like this a long time ago. I’d always feel embarrassed when he would overreact and get super toxic. He was like 13 or something though so it’s a bit more understandable.
I was like 15 or 16 at the time.
Id tell you to cut him off but I know it’s not that easy.

Yup. One of my mates will constantly put me down when I play damage and not support, and will then start screaming and raging if we start losing and (if I’m on dps) will blame me for not doing anything, and that he has X medal (bearing in mind, I play Symmetra, so damage medals aren’t really my focus, or solo killing the team, as Symmetra’s kit doesn’t allow for that unless it’s a killer flank or a telenuke with Dva).
And when I play healer, he constantly complains how he’s not getting healed, I point out I have a medal in healing as this is his thing (he loves his dman medals), and will instantly start stuttering and stuff saying ‘Oh no, I didn’t mean you, it’s our other healer’. Who is usually an off healer, so of course they’re not going to be healing as much unless it’s a team fight, where he normally plays Widow or Ashe, gets a pick and an ego the size of Jupiter, gets shut down by the enemy Widow, and then complains for not getting healing.
It’s depressing…

Just do what I do and try to resist hitting push to talk.
that might be it, but who knows, maybe it’s a personal thing.
they are kinda like that.
Yep that sounds a lot like him
