Hello everyone!
Lately I started to play a bit of PvP, since I feel that bots have nothing more to teach me and I would like to see how other people play the game. You know, just to get the feeling. And I encountered strange... "condition" of mine while playing those few matches and wonder, if there is more players like me, with similar (or even the same) problem. Here it goes:
Usually I have no problem when fighting 1v1, 1v2 or even 1v3. I mean - no mental problem. I am excited (either about to get the kill, or - if it's the other way round - to get the hell out of there), but can play as usually.
But if I happen to engage in a team fight, with 3v3 or more players, all hell breaks loose!
As if having 6 or more champions all in the same place wasn't enough (it can get little confusing since you don't know which health bar belong to which character), now everybody go ape**** and spam all their abilities - each one of them with its own fancy animation.
All of a sudden my screen turns into a flashing madness! Full of colours, shapes, lightning, shadows... champions moving here and there within the same 5cmx5cm space, explosions, clouds, rainbows and gods know what else is going on in there, everywhere...
...and I am totally lost! Can't even seee my champion, and since I started to play with unlocked camera - I can be even in different part of the map - for all that I know! My adrenaline just goes bananas and I can't figure out what's going on, who's winning and what to do! I'm so blanked, I can't even press SPACE, to see where am I, and can't tear my eyes out of the fight, to look down below, how many HP and mana I had left. It's like if you show a rattlebag to an infant. Just can't stop wathcing all those colours, that means death.
So what I do - I just stand there like a ***** and frantically press Q W E R and D - my Ignition. And right there I can't remember, if I even picked Ignition as my second spell!!
Meanwhile I can't see my mouse pointer as well, so I just move my R.A.T.T. in all directions, pressing the above mentioned buttons, and as I am using the smart-cast system - I really don't know which direction my abilities goes, or if I'm hitting someone at all!
And all that time, I just pray to the dark gods, that this rainbow insanity will end ASAP. I don't give a TRUCK (you know, that regular 18 wheeled one) who'll win, I just want it to end, so my brain calms down and I can continue playing.
When the battle is finally over, it all goes to normal in an instant.
So, is it only me, or is this common happening to the others as well? Or maybe it will go away when the excitement of playing against real people fades a little. I don't know...
Anyway, my friends found it amusing when I told them about it, and enjoy my disoriented, confused commentary while team fighting even more. So I decided to share this with you and see, where it goes.
But funny thing is, that sometimes it even works!! I scored my two pvp tripple kills with this "tactics". So maybe I should just stick to it and who knows... I may even brain-freeze-panic myself into the ranked matches...!!! :D

Also...playing a split pusher helps since you're usually just by yourself pushing away. HUEHUEHUE. (I main
Since I don't have this problem in bot games, ARAM or Dominion, I guess it's just plain stress of playing against real people. I never before played PvP games (except few FPS shooters but that's totally different).
And I still think it's kinda funny :D
There are modifications that can help (yellow HP bar etc) if this is a problem for you. Generally speaking though, if you position correctly in fights there are very few times that this can actually happen to you. Practise and getting your eyes customed(?) can help I'd suppose.
Keep calm and combo.
