Any ways NOT TO TILT on promos losses?

I've made a huge improvement on how to not go full tilt mode recently and it made go back to gold 3 instead of gold 5. Basically I play less ranked games and when I lose I stopped before all the raging start tilting me. I'll play until I lose a game then stop for the day. I was in a 14-2 streak basically winning everything which got me to my Gold 2 promos for the first time ever. As usual I lost REALLY fukin hard my two promo games and now i'm extremely tilted. I didn't play well but again as usual when the games count the most I get mismatched against a challenjour team meanwhile our team is basically bronze. Last season I lost so many promos it was ridiculous and each time it was followed by a huge losing streak. How do you guys deal with this?

I just don't play ranked this season, it's a freaking joke man, idk why people want to put themselves through this awful match making system that is abused by boosters and smurphs as well as premades.

Putting solo queue players against 3 man teams with voice communication like skype or discord, is just fucking beyond acceptable, i literally quit ranked the day Dynamic Queue became a thing, i tried a couple matches, got matched against plats, diamonds, and freaking challengers IN PREMADES and said, nope, i am done.

I hope one day they restore solo queue, longer queue times are well worth a balanced match of solo queue only players. Id'e rather wait 5-10 minutes for a match than waste 20+ minutes for a loss against a premade anyday.

First of all, fundamentally promos are no different from ordinary games. If you maintain a 50+% winrate there's still a decent chance you'll lose a few promo series, so it's going to happen and knowing that may or may not help you personally. Otherwise, after losing a promo or if you find yourself tilting, stop. There are different signs for everyone, but learn the signs that you personally are tilting and any time you're losing a game, look for those signs. IF you see them, so play another game, play an aram, or do something low stress. Come back to it later with a fresh mindset.

I have about a 53% winrate in ranked, so i know that even if I lose my promos one time around, statistically I should win them when I next get back into them. Plus, having the free win can only help me out more :) I still get annoyed when I lose my promos, but that's just natural. Knowing that if I get back into promos I'll likely go up gives me the incentive to try harder
