ranked makes me want to rip out my hair and cry

I lost my series 3 times today, and I lost it once last night. I swear some mystical force beyond my control is guiding me through this terrible roller coaster.

Stress has been proven to make you perform worse in most activities, video games being one of them. Take a break from Ranked (do bot matches if you must, nobody will judge you) and find ways to improve your mood before returning to Ranked.

I don't really get stress fatigued. I can win my games up until my series, where I just need to win one game out of three because it keeps granting me a free win, but I just can't clinch the win when it matters. It seems like a dumb thing to complain about, but in my series games my teammates really seem to struggle in particular.

One series in particular, our ADC autolocked Sona and had full ad runes and masteries. It's that sort of level of 'out of my control' type of things that happen only when I get into my series games.

I'm a really easy going person and can keep my head in the game. I can't win all the lanes though.

I'm not the greatest teacher when it comes to League but I can think of some ways to deal with that. If it's map awareness that's the problem, just try using a metronome, setting it to a 2 second tempo and glancing at the map and team hp every time it beeps. If it's map control, try using a champion with better a global ultimates such as Gangplank or Soraka.
