Getting past the frustration and annoyance of losing is a good step to becoming a better person, and it just so happens to improve you as a player too.
I think a large majority of players are limited more by their emotional controls and capacity for stress tolerance rather than their skill. I know for sure that I was one of those people, and I'm still working on it, because I don't think anyone is able to completely detach from their emotions and play to the best of their skill at all times.
Same with anything in life, you can only control you, so learn to let it go. For anyone who's been with me through the past 5 years, you understand what I'm saying  .

It's a hard state of mind to reach. But, it's the right one to have. If you can critically analyze your play, you should be able to detach performance from results.
Doing this is pretty hard though. Probably the best advice(to improve my play in a casual way) I got was to stop playing after a loss. You reinforce the negative aspects of the previous games and it brings your play down considerably. If you can let it not effect you at all, then good on you
that and aggressively dodge games you don't think will be winnable due to composition and/or trolls.

Remember: when you get frustrated because there is a troll/rager/baddie on your team, know that more than likely there is also another troll/rager/baddie on the opposing team.

I very rarely see people troll. I think people have lost what the word troll actually means. People rage pretty often though, that's easy to ignore.

I think people need to learn what the mute button is there for. Instead of getting into a flamefight, as soon as someone is an annoying dickwad just mute him. It is a so much better game.

Agree. Trolling almost exclusively occurs in champ select. And then I dodge and play another game. Of course, Riot has no real means of dealing with champ select trolls...

I practice random stuff in normals and if I consistently destroy opponents with it I'll eventually add it to my ranked champ pool. funny thing is i'm always garbage at ez adc but turn into a monster as jungle ez.
soloq has been great lately about "troll" picks though. only had a few people go "oh shit jungle ez" and no qqers.
Sometimes people just can't handle anything outside the meta. If my team lacks damage and is tanky enough, I'll pick support Leblanc. The kill pressure is enormous and if you can harass with your spellthief's and pick up some assists, you can become a huge assassin threat. But people will still flame me for picking it anyway. People used to flame me when I picked support Morgana against melee supports back in season 3 too, now who's laughing.

especially when you counter their argument and then say "muted" and mute them so it's like you won irl

I keep seeing people talk about it but I just don't get it -- what's the point of jungle Ezreal? How does it work any different than, say, jungle Twitch? How is it possible to jungle someone with zero CC?

You can't escape Ezreal with double buffs. I guess the red buff is to hold you over til Frozen Fist.

You play in the wrong region dude
Support Leblanc? Try support Syndra too
The only problem Ive had with people going out of meta is "Thresh top" post patch and from someone who doesnt play thresh..

Just played a game with 110 kills in 39 minutes... that was insane. Fed 7 kills in 5 minutes to Vayne, ended up winning. Conclusion: My laning is ass, my teamfighting is pretty good, the other team got cocky

Syndra wouldn't do one of my absolute favorite things about support Leblanc- deep warding. In Season 3 I could coat my enemy's jungle with wards with minimal risk while having decent team fight peeling with the silence and chains. That double dash made me have vision tyranny over the enemy support who was simply less mobile and couldn't ward as safely as I can. Syndra has way better team fight utility though if you can line up sick 3-5 man stuns. And that knockback vs divers on adc is just mmmm

This is the best thing I've read in days. Might have to steal the idea too.
Oh wait, I haven't played any ranked this season.

I have like 4 thousand games these past 2 and a half years and losing still aggravates me. It takes like 3-4 losses in a row for me to become really annoyed and stop playing though. I don't think I'll ever be completely indifferent especially if I'm playing badly
I'm only talking about ranked though. I am completely desensitized to normal games, mostly because I play to have fun with retarded stuff like trinity-force bruiser diana, AD kat, and manamune+frozen fist kassadin.
Usually games where i lose to stupid builds, or people do really dumb shit makes me very fucking angry to the point of my blood boiling out sometimes it feels like ._.
