How to not get mad while playing League?

I have a strange question today for you guys, but I've noticed something; when I'm having fun and laughing, when I'm in a good mood, I play incredibly. Every time I buy a new champion, I'm smiling the whole time thinking how fun it is and learning all the tricks and combos and whatnot, and I do really well (My first game with Ekko, I went 13/7, my second game, 17/1. My first game with Heimer, I went 13/0 and ANNIHILATED mid lane, for example). However, most of the day today I was in kind of a sour mood, just ticked off at everything; I was yelling a lot and getting upset, and I was playing horribly. My last match, however, I was laughing and having fun trying to "outplay" a Garen with Fiora (Like, parrying his ult and all his Qs), and I actually did really well! At mid game I was 14/1, but then the enemy Vayne started to get fed and I ended being 19/9 and lost (and I started playing worse as I died more and more to Vayne). So! It seems that I play much better when I'm in a good mood, and much worse when I'm in a bad mood or convince myself I can't win.

Basically, I just want to know how I can STAY in that good mood, and continue playing well.

League, and PvP in other games, tends to kind of tick me off, though I don't know how, as I'm usually VERY hard to even slightly irritate in reality. How would I play League while staying in a good mood and having fun? And, in a broader sense, how do I stay in a good mood in general? I think if I could figure this out, and stay positive throughout League games, then I could actually look at starting ranked games and placing. Right now though, my performance is kind of iffy -- I'll have one great match, and 9 horrible ones.

So... any help you could give is greatly appreciated. Thanks! ^^

TL;DR: It's really not that long... but! How do I not get mad at League? I play a LOT better when I'm in a good mood and having fun.

For me, I would listen to funny songs. I got from Silver 4 to Gold 5 with only a handful of losses, once I started listening to this song. I'm not even kidding.

Stop caring. Seriously...it's a frickin' game. You'll learn this when you're an old fart like me. If you can't laugh and getting stomped...then you probably shouldn't be playing. Additionally...playing with friends and laughing about crap on Vent or TeamSpeak helps.

Probably shouldn't play with so much emotion and just relax more. Always have the mindset that anything can happen in game, enemy comeback, teammate afk or something like that. When it happens you're less shocked and less angry. You should be doing good whether you are in a good mood or not, shouldn't let emotion dictate your gameplay, it should be logic. You seem like a really tilty player and that's not good.
