Well I'm Bronze IV so here's what not to do:

Don't yell at your team. Ever. Don't insult them, no matter how much you want to. In fact, if you're not instructing some move, stay out of chat all together. Communicate by pings only. Some even go so far as to mute the chat or disable all-chat. The game should be what you're focused on, not the people in it.

If someone afks or trolls, just get the game done and move on. You can't control everyone. So don't rage or act like it's the end of the world. Just keep trucking and your elo will eventually gain. Because believe it or not, League is a sport, and barring major physical or mental handicap, eventually everyone can learn the conditioning to get to Plat or higher.
