Just had a ranked game, when skarner camped me around 5 times in mid and killed me most of the time while I play safe.

At the same time, hecarim was raging and saying how 'I am useless'.

This made me really mad (I just said 'muted' and 'pls be less toxic', but didn't rage), and thus turning irrational to 'must make plays' mode, and I even walked into the enemy wards to gank people.

After this game I would simply reflect on my mistake. But then, I am thinking:

How to play a game properly and maintain rational while you are mad, and you aren't performing great, and the enemy jg camped, and the teammates rage at you.

/mute all
Give yourself 10 seconds to feel frustrated, upset, disappointed, angry, whatever it is you feel. Get mad at yourself for that short period, then move past it. It's over and done with.
Regather and focus on what you have to do now. You've put the past behind you now and you need to focus on what you need to do to win. Try to get that done.

After the game is over you can reflect on the mistakes you made and try to ensure you do not repeat them, but you can't stay upset/frustrated etc while a game is still going or you will continue to spiral downwards.

let the rage flow right through you and let it out on the poor victim also known as your lane opponent

If you cannot help but be angry, use it as fuel.

Anger can be like oil. You can set it ablaze for quick and disastrous results, or you can use it to empower a machine for a more controlled and long term purpose.

The trick is finding out how you do that. Finding ways to keep calm or divert focus usually help.
