Most people dont have any training (eg holding your wrist correctly), and although you may say it's easy to form a fist it's alot more complicated than that. Punch a punching bag a few hundred times in rapid succession, you will hit it at an awkward angle atleast a couple of times. Each one of those can cause a break in your wrist, some weaker fingers, forearm. The risks of hitting a hard surface like a wall in rage only increase the risk. I once broke my pinky finger, catching a guys face at a bad angle. was just a little drunken fight with a russian over his right to take my step sister to his place after hes had 15 or 16 drinks and cant even back out of the driveway. Offtopic but apparently I was "cockblocking" him and he did not like that much. His parents picked him up in a fit and drove him home. was good lols until the next morning when my finger was quite swollen. tl;dr, it's easy to hurt your hand punching something. | ||

BM makes it all better, and it costs a lot less to replace your conscience after accidentally destroying it. Depends if you're angry with your owns skill, in which case you won't get any release from calling out your opponent. Or you're disillusioned with thinking the opponent is imbalanced or used an imoral strategy, in which case sure your ego will feel better, but you'll have a harder time getting better at the game. | ||

![[image loading]](http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/EmperorPalpatine.jpg) And yea but usually I limit my rage to pillows / chucking water bottles across the room. Much more cost-effective. | ||

Ive broken, so far, A keyboard, two mice, a couple burned cds that were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and a pair of headphones. Nothing expensive though, thank god. Now that I have a nice keyboard and headphones I have to catch them when they want to fling themselves into a wall after I accidentally derp all my mutas and roaches into a thor tank ball. | ||

In fact, some would argue otherwise. As long as the anger isn't affecting other people or your long-term health, there's nothing ethically wrong with breaking a keyboard or punching a wall (provided you own the property or fix it up afterwards). Stop being holier than thou and pretending that anger is a nonexistent aspect of human existence. You know, there was a psychological study that studied if it's really better to punch a punching bag than do nothing about your anger. The people in the study had to write an essay and after that their essays got mocked and such. After that they were giving the option to punch a punching bag or not to do anything. And after that they were given the power to annoy someone writing an essay with electric shocks etc. The outcome of the study was that the people who were punching a punching bag became more aggressive than the people who were doing nothing (The people punching the bag gave more severe electric shocks and gave more of them than the people who did nothing). So it doesn't really help to punch something because as this study suggests, people just get more aggressive when they've encaged in an aggressive activity. | ||

And it's a 1v1 game, that makes it very competitive by essence. IF you loose to someone, that means someone is better than you, or even just simply outsmarted you, I don't see any reason why it's unreasonable to get annoyed at loosing, especially to a cocky player, or a protoss. | ||

Lose* Losing* It's okay to get annoyed, I do a lot. Because I mainly 1v1 I know my losses are my fault, and try to improve the next time I play. To get so mad that you break something, just seems unnecessary & excessive. | ||

Show some discipline and don't rage the world over your mistakes. Instead of throwing your energy in raging you could save your time and refine your game. | ||

I'm interested in the results of this study. Do you know what it was called, who performed it, or where I might find a link to it? edit: After a second of searching this came up: The study Is that right? Yeah it looks right to me. There are slight differences between what you wrote and the abstract of the study, but it's pretty close. | ||
