The best way to do it is to view ranked like blackjack. You can make all the right decisions in terms of positioning and burst, steal the right ground pots, bait enemy burst into your guard to give room for your teammates -- after all that, you may come out with a 55% win rate. Which means you can literally do everything right, but you just draw a bad hand. Maybe your team just bursts the wrong target, maybe they die a little too much, maybe you run into someone who is good at forcing mistakes on you and your team.

Push the odds in your favor as much as possible and play enough games to realize your gains with that 55% win rate. And recognize that no single game or streak defines you.
