ELO Hell and Competition:

I am what I take to calling a "Normal" player. 99% of the games I have played are classic SR. I started playing LoL before they even created "Ranked" so I have tons of experience in "Classic" and I'd like to break into "Ranked" play. However, I find that the vast majority of Ranked players I have played with are far more competitive than I am and tend to second guess, deride me, or even fall into profanity-laced histrionics all game long if I openly ask for help and advice. What do you suggest those players who are looking to move from "Classic" to "Ranked" do to minimize friction with veteran "Ranked" teammates with "win or die" tunnel vision?
