Just remember...you can't control other players and their attitudes...just stay positive. If someone rages...just mute. Nothing wrong with it...you're not doing something bad when you mute them...sometimes their rage infects others...so don't give it the opportunity. Likewise you can't control AFKers...it happens...even in Challenger. Someone AFK's on your team...don't let it get you down...just use it as an opportunity to work on a miniature set of goals for the game that are not win/loss dependent. CS at 10/20 minutes, etc.
As to the feeding...heh, sometimes man you just have a damn bad game. Don't be too aggressive...pay attention to being potentially baited etc...and sometimes you just have to know when it's best to give up the tower. Better to back up and surrender the tower then stubbornly try to save it and give them kills on top of the objective.
Do a few Normal Draft Pick matches first to get mentally prepared. If you're on tilt in the normals don't go into ranked yet, it can wait.
I dont hear about Ladder/ranked anxiety as much with LoL as I did in Starcraft 2. I do think people 'care' too much about their rank in this community. Most of us saw a lot of anger on these boards after this season's placement games. Say even if you do get placed in Bronze V, these should not be hard games to carry in. I got bumped down from Silver 4 to Bronze 4 after placements this season, and its been laughably easy to move up. I notice that a lot of times people dont get placed where they belong, but they get there after 50 - 100 games later. Take every game as a chance to learn and see new things to watch out for. Dont worry so much about your ranking.
I am not worried about my ranking I don't think. I am just like what if my team afks? or they rage at me? or worse I FEED :( and i sit in que thinking these things and I am like umm maybe latter.
Try to play as much urgod as possible the months before entering your first ranked game. It will give you the mechanics to gg
