Stay hydrated and go on frequent walks or runs . My life has been collapsing because of anxiety lately and I just realized today that I haven ' t been taking care of myself . Went on a run and was able to actually socialize for the first time in weeks afterward . Take care of your body and it will take care of your mind . <| sep |> I just don ' t see what anyone gains by pushing the problem down the ladder . Yeah , we all care about our SR so any of us would be mortified at arbitrarily losing 100 SR but if someone ' s already leaving games constantly they ' re already dropping SR and running the risk of a ban they obviously don ' t give a shit . They lose more SR it just pushes the problem down the ladder where they probably already have their fair share of leavers already and people will end up with guys who would otherwise have a higher MMR than them in their games , who as chronic leavers probably haven ' t got the best attitudes to begin with . sounds like fun for the people minding their own business in the lower ranks just trying to play the game , and if they get banned they ' re not playing anyway while they ' re banned so it doesn ' t matter what SR they are , problem solved . I ' m not sure how showing mercy would ruin SR balance . I assume you would gain less as victors if you choose to show mercy and they lose less , how would you game the system to power level that ?
