Stopping Rage
Rage is so important to me, I'm dedicating an entire post about it.
I think it's absolutely critical, and can be EXTREMELY difficult to do at times, but a skill one MUST MUST MUST acquire to be able to handle Solo Queue Ranked Games.
To Start With I'm going to Refer to other Links as well, if my page doesn't convince you.

Multiple Times I've referred to my own experiences with problem games, just how often they come up for me, what happened, and how to leave trolls behind, I'm going to reference several of them, but first, please Watch this following video about

Below is originally from this page: Basics of Ranked
MEntal Prep For Ranked
I just finished my placement matches.
In my placements, I had 3 throwaway games. I had 3 throw away matches after placements. One game, I was first picked and the rest of my team except for a vayne decided to go support. They couldn't hold their lanes and completely threw. Lulu vs Nasus, Alistar vs Diana....
One placement I had an AFK Amumu halfway in.
One placement this person never played Support, not mentioning first time Lux in ranked this season, while I was laning against a thresh with 100 ranked games and a KDA of 2/4.8/16.5. Got steamrolled since I tried ADC to carry this game. I'd try to fight, my support would run, and Lux keep getting hooked and killed while I was csing, feeding their adc 3 kills before I could do anything else.
My last game, just now, everyone had lag problems, so one of my teammates decided to just fuck it and afked, not to mention the duo bot lane completely failed and got crushed, even with me ganking, they had no damage.
I've only played 6 Ranked Games today, finishing my placements and playing 3 games in my newly placed Rank of Silver 1. Very disappointed with my teams, with a total of 2 Win, 4 Losses.

How did I react, I was quite upset honestly.
Completely disappointed in not having the support I needed and the fact that all these games were throwaway games, completely onesided with my team getting facerolled games.
These may or may not be the norm for you. It depends on each person. My way of working on this is praying to God, I get a good game. lol. It's quite ridiculous. You will meet the dumbest people, the dumbest mistakes with builds that destroy your team. Reminding me of one placement game 2 days ago with an Udyr that went Trinity Force when behind, when we seriously needed a tank.
Now I'm going to say something very important. So listen well. You leave them in the dust. You leave all those trolls, those afkers, those terrible players behind. You MOVE YOURSELF UP ELO so you see less and less of that crap in your games. GTFO you tell them. REMEMBER, THEY WILL STAY IN THAT ELO. They will continue to play poorly with those builds, continue to afk, continue to play like shit. You be the ONE to get your own self out.
Like I said before, people higher elo see ALL the MISTAKES you make. Things that are obvious to them that you have no idea existed. Break that wall and get out to Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Challenger. Fuck em all and do what you gotta do.
Having to Start again in Silver 1 is kind of Painful, I remember once I got into the mid to high gold region, games become very smooth, with things flowing quite quickly. The higher quality games are worth it, really really worth it.
