Slow the flow. Take your time. Gain control. Relax your mind.

For me, stop thinking about getting kills. Outplay and let the kills come to you is the mindset I've adopted. Getting a kill does put you in the lead, but failing to do so just puts you in a very bad position. Most people in ranked will try hard to get kills, especially early on, leaving you to capitolize on them. I feel the reason why you look at your score and see you team is 3 to 24, is because people just try hard for kills, fail and get further behind, and repeating to try to quickly retake the lead. The worst offenders are Ezreals. For some reason they think teleporting ahead to fight 2v1 is a good use of their blink. Besides, it's better to be tied, than the enemy team be fed. It's best to be ahead, but if you play better than your opponents you can beat them without that.
