On Ranked

Ranked is a different beast than normals. If you want to get better at the game play ranked.
If you want to learn a champion do it in normals or in Flexqueue. Don't first time it in ranked soloqueue.
Don't link your worth as a person to your performance in the game whether normals or ranked. It is just a game and half the time it is a complete **** show and you can only do so much carrying and so much cheer leading.
Don't worry about your LP gains and loses. LP loses and gains get closer together the closer you get to your true rank. If you figure something out and go on a huge winning streak your MMR will go up and you will start gaining more LP for wins because the system wants to place you with players of similar ability to you.
Worry about your own play - Your mistakes and your successes.
Work towards consistently making the right plays and the right calls about where to be on the map.
Then deliberately apply your knowledge each and every time you get onto the rift.
