What can I do?

Hi! My name is blank, and I used to get permanently banned a lot. Over the past year, I've really got my act together. However, my first permanent ban in about a year happened today. It's no excuse, but is definitely a reason for the stress I experienced. Got a good 5 games of INTers, trolls, and some genuinely nice people who were just having bad days. No excuse, I get it, but what can I do to stay calm/sane during these moments? I haven't had a punishment on this account for a good while( couple months ) and this is one of the few times I've let the stress get the better of me. I threw around the word idiot sometimes, and complained, but that's about it. I can post screenshots of chat logs if need be, however there's more games than just the two shown on the reform card where I said some things. Particularly a game where we had a thresh top, vlad support, and the heca and ahri gave up within 5 minutes and wanted to open.

TL;DR Got banned, haven't gotten banned in almost a year. How can I deal with stressful situations, ie people having bad games, trolls, INTers? I genuinely want to get better, and become a better person, but I'm not good with stress, video game or IRL.

The short of it, the hard truth you need to accept is that your anger is pointless. Fighting a troll does literally nothing. It even encourages them. You can try briefly being nice, but after that, your attempts are meaningless. They won't change. It is best to just ignore them and move on.

You need to just learn to give up on that person and block them out.

Listen to classical music and get something to hit(like a cheap boxing bag). You won't believe how much stress you can relieve by punching a boxing bag.

what you can also do is tie some pillows together and punch those
