You cannot prevent losing streaks. there will always be a time when you will lose games in rapid succession.

My advise: Listen to your guts. I for myself don't play ranked that often (now I do, cuase I wanna gold and that elise skin), but I also play normals in between. For me, there are these phases where I just lose game after game, becasue of unskilled players, trolls, afks, or all of those. Then I#m often kinda sad, but if I notice this I don't play ranked and keep on playing normals until it stops. And in most cases I have a feeling for when it looks good to play ranked and when it doesn't. I once ignored this feeling and lost so hard, it was kinda funny (only - 3 LP, bless the elo algorithm).

I suppose you want the elise skin too (your profile pic) and that's why you are now going rambo on ranked. Keep it slow, there's still alot of time (I'm Silver 5 right now, and I'm positive that I can make it)

all in all, you can't win 24/7 and the more ranked you play the more you will be frutrated by it uü to the point where you start failing yourself.
