Take a break and don't play it until feeling you're at your peak LoL condition imo. Or play a warm-up normal with the champ you plan on playing in the ranked.
Crossing a 100's rating mark (1500, 1600, etc.) is my biggest LoL jinx. If I lose I'll keep queuing out of frustration too, and end up with a loss streak every time i hit the 90's (I hit the 1490's at least five times in season 1 : \ ).
Or don't give a shit and play whenever you feel like, if you're scared but feel like playing play anyways. If you don't feel like playing don't play at all.
So the prediction guy said Blitzcrank next week. I've always wanted to try him AD, does it actually work or was I/my team stupid to die to him so many times when I last encountered one?

Wriggle's + Phantom Dancer Rammus is very strong, not sure what's so bad about having a jungle Rammus on your team.

You don't even need to build MR you just gotta taunt their ap and kill them in 3seconds.

Guess it's the same for me right now. I'm 1892 atm and 1 week ago I was 1891 and I've been 1890 and 1887 on two other seperate occasions as well. Still haven't broken the 1900 mark.

You just gotta be better than your opponents, that's all there is to it.

This is pretty much where I'm at right now. I hit 1560 at one point but then went on a long losing streak with trolls and feeders that brought me to 1415. I'm trying to climb back up, but I found myself being too try hard and getting wicked pissed. So now I'm just playing around and enjoying my Olaf. (I WILL BRING IT BACK)
I've always had a relaxed view on ranked anyway. If I rise up to the top, that's awesome. But I don't expect myself to. I play better when I'm just having fun anyway. The ranking doesn't mean much unless you're higher up. As long as I'm in an elo where I get somewhat reasonable teams and opponents, I'm pretty content. That was the downside with the elo inflation though. I still see a LOT of idiots and trolls around 1500.

Blitzcrank is a walking terror of CC with good burst as well. The main problem is that he tends not to be able to fit into any particular lane too well. Top is full of tanky sustainy people you can't outsustain, mid is ranged and ranged > you, and the same applies bot lane. And I think Blitz support is a bit of a waste. He can jungle though.
AD/tanky Blitz does work really nicely. W is a massive steriod, E is a CC-nuke, and you have Q to keep the opponent in your face and R for the final burst or more dps from the passive. The idea is to run in to a clump of guys threatening Q, watch them split and start bullying people. You can also peel people off your carry with your CC too. Q also break channels. So pretty flexible. Once you reach late-ish game your burst drops off slightly so you have more focus on your CC and sustained damage.
Anyway, so builds. In lane, rush Cata for sustain. Then Mercs -> Triforce -> Tanky. Building Randuin/Frozen Heart/Banshees/Atmas/Thormail are all situational and really depends on the enemy comp. But they're all nice. In jungle, Cloth+5 -> Wriggles, -> Mercs -> Triforce -> Tanky. In fights, your purpose is to ruin everyone's day.
Once you have Sheen, you have some pretty sick burst so take advantage of it. A lot of people underestimate you from not playing against Blitz regularly. Once you have Triforce + Cata you can kinda go ballistic so long as you have a team that follows up since you have so much CC. Maxing E fast means your CC is very spammy and can get it off several times in a fight, especially with CDR from Blue Buff. (Go for the AP Carry asap for it sometimes, haha) Remember not to use R for as long as possible because the dps from that is good. Line up Qs. Not much else I think to say.
Anyone else on EU having problems with the ban/pick phase? I constantly have the timers disappear, and can't see any of the picks after that. If I haven't picked yet, the game seems to random me something, and proceeds to start the match normally... This doesn't actually mean anything, if I can pick my character before it goes down, but I can't keep dodging every time this happens.

EUW or EUNE? Lastest mini-patch did contain some problems. Also, try a client repair and see if it helps.

What prediction guy? I'm curious because I was thinking on doing some predictions as well, i have all the data, but not quite sure how to process it.

Some upsets already... fnatic almost got eliminated by Alternate, made one hell of a comeback now though. Sypher lost to kujaa's new team of aAa who are now to face Wickd's new team.
