League Tilt

I need help, ever since one ranked game, I've been tilting...dramatically. After I got placed into bronze 5 after winning 6/10 games for provisional (understandable because of my season 4 mmr) this is after I stopped playing league for half a year I went on a winning spree, by myself, so eventually I got to 98 lp and stopped. Then I went to play a few normals and won those too. So when I came back to ranked, I was confident, so far bronze 5 wasn't bad for me, i kept an upbeat attitude, and kept my team's morale up. I wanted to get out of bronze really badly, but before I didn't care if I won, it was a pleasant surprise that I won many games in a row, I thought it was luck. So as I go in (as a support) somebody on my team mentioned that the enemy jinx is streaming and immediately I freeze, I start shaking and my heart beat rises. My thinking process: Is that jinx a diamond smurf? (stupid me) I have to prove myself, so eventually my adc kept on making the stupidest mistakes, and screamed lag, i got really irritated at him but didn't want to say anything, so i had to repeatedly calm down myself because I was convinced that it was my upbeat attitude that helped me win my other games. So our jungler afks at 7 minutes, and we loose. I get really pissed off at league and vow "to not play again" but the next day...I play again, and my adc feeds, and it goes down hill from there. Even when I do well, I can't carry because my team always gets caught out and chases too far and won't listen to me (also I usually support), also I started playing really cautiously. So eventually I'm at this mess, and I know I'm on tilt, but I won't stop playing league, because I know I'm a shit player but I want to get out of bronze and into silver so my classmates will stop saying I'm a shit player, that I don't have to hear "noob" everyday. I know I'm going to loose but I can't stop, also it doesn't help when people call you a shit player when your self confidence is low.

I was on tilt too in season 3 when I first started, I got placed into bronze 1 but I really wanted the Silver ward end-of-season reward, so I kept on playing until I eventually hit bronze 5.

So what do you suggest? Go on a six month hiatus? Save enough for a name change and unfriend all my toxic real life "friends"? I know the mistakes I make but for some reason don't fix them, how to I get out of this emotional hellhole, or how to I stop trying to have the urge to prove myself, that I'm not a shit player even though I'm in bronze 5, or how to I boost my confidence.

What do you guys do to get out of tilt?

If you see my match history, it's terrible, my cs, my kda ratio, everything, It's all terrible, I just want to cry now ;_; even when I knew I was on a loosing streak I kept on playing...and kept on loosing

or how do you hide your summoner's name from your friends?

I'm not sure on how to hide the summoners name, but I kind of find this same problem. I have a decent amount of friends at my school who I play with regularly, who are all Plat/Gold++, so they always like to come up to me and mention the fact that I haven't even finished my provisionals yet because of my horrible tilt. In normals, I often go on tilt for days or weeks at a time, which kills my brain because I /know/ that I'm not that horrible at least. If you ever want another player to duo with, you can hmu. ; - ;

i dont go on tilt but look at this http://gyazo.com/3fd8ccac965a45edfbfb5b14b350d3bc http://gyazo.com/e8e26a14fd84c040ec98ff33ec847573

going on tilt is like losing lane feeding and having a bad attitude about it :-( going on a losing streak tho is just something that happends. i like to play in the morning right after a nice shower and some noodles for breakfast :D i feel my best in the morning. thats just me tho. add me c:

i forgot to add that when u do get to diamond (u will) u will prove your friends wrong :D but stay humble and remember they all started somwhere and didnt just instantly get good :-)

I don't think you have tilt. Tilt is when you make mistakes because you get angry, greedy or careless. I think you have stress and I too had a lot of ranked stress when I was in Silver IV which is where I was last season after playing ranked for the first time. I knew I could play at a higher level yet I couldn't win games. Then I mediated myself to playing one ranked game, every morning. In the mornings I feel refreshed and because I only play one even if I win, I can focus everything on that. Also if I lose, I know I'm not playing another, I have another chance tomorrow. My biggest problem before was I wanted to climb fast but that just didn't happen. What did happen though was I started winning everyday and my elo gain shot up like crazy until I was passing through tiers with 3-4 games.

When I read your post I see the same thing - you desperately want to climb and you want it fast. I made the same mistake again last season during the last week when I was up for promotion to Platinum. I rushed myself and I lost 3 after winning 2. Only now I've recollected myself and gone back to the "rare" ranked game and I find I win a lot more.
