Anyone ever go on complete tilt?

I swear, sometimes I do REALLY good it SEEMS, though many other times it seems like I go on complete tilt and go 1/10 and end up feeding like crazy, I'm thinking that that is just my inability to carry and relying too much on my teammates but sometimes it gets really frustrating. any tips or strategy's to use to get better and learn to carry a game?

Matchmaking seems to fluke sometimes, but some of this is definitely just state of mind. Take a step back between games, make sure you're calm and.. you know, hydrated or whatever before going into another game or you'll just slide downhill fast. As for what to do if your whole team is doing poorly? drop wards in good spots and ping actively. Not aggressively, just ping where an enemy is when you see it, make sure to help people avoid getting ganked, and just farm your pants off until you're back in it. Oh and turrets. With how weak turrets are right now, it's almost always better to push instead of following your lane if they roam. Ping where they're going and get your turret - global gold is godlike, especially if you're behind.

I see what you mean, first game is usally pretty good, help carry the team, then I got for a second game right away after and sometimes end up doing much worse than my first game.

I have a habit that helps me with this, though I occasionally forget and end up having such a frustrating time that I feel my friends end up tilting because of it.

Basically, between games, get up and do something. Doesn't matter what it is, just take a minute or two to do stuff in a non-rushed manner. I usually either make a hot drink or a sandwich. They take time and are multi-step things I can slowly and deliberately do, while also being so simple that I can do them without thinking about it.

By the time I'm done and have returned to my computer I've calmed myself enough to avoid tilting. This doesn't fully work, particularly if the next game is just as frustrating as the last, but it usually does. If I end up not being able to stop myself from tilting I just stop playing, even if I have a group and they want me to keep playing with them.

But as for your post what exactly are you asking? You said you go on complete tilt, but you also asked how you can get better and carry. These are two very different things. I can carry most games that I play with my friends, but the moment I'm on tilt it doesn't matter how good I was, I'm now bad and I feel bad because of it. Tilt will make you feed, no matter how skilled you are, so if you are trying to get better your first step should be to figure out a system to handle tilt.

Because much of the reason I do bad I feel is that I rely too heavily on my team instead of myself, for example I was playing with under level 30's a couple days ago and got demolished big time because I failed to carry and everyone else lost their lane so then they all decided to go bot and I was getting harrased to the point where I couldn't farm. I could have went to another lane and tried but the whole team ended up feeding at just overpowered me. Not blaming my team or anything but it was just frustrating how every single person lost their lane and fed while I was doing somewhat decent in my lane until mid game where the fed jungler ganked and took out my sup like nothing and then the entirety of the enemy team went bot to finish my lane off since they had all won theirs.

Choice of champion, early game rotations, ganks, skill at CSing, knowledge of power spikes, and item build orders are all things that all matter heavily when you're trying to solo carry, but you have to make sure you are up to that challenge first.

That's what I mean when I say focus on your own tilt first. You're going to have a lot of things to worry about if you're going to carry a heavy team. If you start to tilt you won't be able to do it, no matter how good you are. Once you have that handled you can worry about how you're going to stay far enough ahead of the enemy team that you can pull your team along behind you.

People who don't tilt are not immune to the frustration you're talking about, they just know how to deal with it so it doesn't ruin their future games. You can't win every game, after all, you can only make sure your last game doesn't dictate the outcome of your next one.
