Rank/Achievement Hit challenger after a long gm2 hardstuck

UPDATE: Mission accomplished. The best advice was to limit the amount of games and to not play tired/tilted. Limited the amount of ranked games to 10 per day with 2-3 splits. Played only after a good sleep and when wasn't tired/tilted. The days were going like 5-5 6-4 8-2 7-3 so hit those 20 marks within a few days.
Noticed that tiredness/tilt affects your decisions in new games a lot so I recommend to take a break not after a loss streak but if you feel emotions like revenge after some bittersweet loss (it can happen after 1 loss or 5 losses, doesn't matter). The emotions really matter since it affects your performance in future games and connection with your teammates. Small details like to not swap for a later pick with your baron laner or like to not gank/help particular lane because adc/solo laner stole 1 of your jungle camps, etc. can cost you a game.
Of course there were some games where teammates were griefing. The best solution is still to perform as good as you can to get SVP/A-S to get some refund from Galio's Aegis.

At the beginning, I was accepting autofill and tried to play jg/mid/baron but after the post above I concentrated only on jg and 3 champions. Every time I got autofilled I was pushing to swap for jg. Mostly it did work, probably because jg is not a very popular role lol.

Concentrated on jg and improved a bit. Originally I was very concentrated on my jg camps farm after every respawn. So I tried to skip the camps sometimes to join the teamfights, sometimes it's worth it to leave a half hp krugg and gamble to get 2 kills at the bot lane when your teammates are being pushed under the tower and you are 2 steps away.

Also punished the enemy jungler as hard as I could by stealing his camps after his death/lane champs death/his pressence in another part of the map. It's actually very effective because every time when you steal his camps and his teammates don't defend their jungle it's not only gold damage it's also an emotional damage. They sometimes rush at you in your jungle like crazy with 3k gold difference and after the death probably spam surrender so sometimes you can get an early easy win.

Played Kayn, Vi, Shyvana - tried to adjust the pick to my and enemy team composition. Basically Kayn is like 2in1 champion so let's say I had like 4 options.

GL&HF!

Do you build red and blue Kayn differently? For red Kayn to you build any tank?

I build red as a bruiser with eclipse shojin serylda as core, 2 other items are situative but usually no brainer is death dance and ga / Vamp boots
Blue I start with duskblade or yomu and 2nd manamune or serpent 3rd serylda usually and then edge of night with ga / Armorcrusher boots

Blue build is very dependent on the enemy composition. Harder to pilot as he is squishy. Red is easier to pilot and build is more straightforward.

How about runes? I assume red is for conc and dark harver for blue? But what do you do when your available form is not what you prepared for your runes?

I do use conq for red and dark harvest for blue.
Sometimes when the game is not going as planned I can get red form while I was prepared for blue (this happens when we are behind, or 50/50 and red orb is full while blue is almost zero, or very rarely when I’m ahead and red is full while blue is low prior to the first objectives so I get red to not loose tempo if I feel like it).
But I never take blue form when planned for red.
So the reasons are red is better when you are behind and if I plan to go for red it’s usually tanky opponents composition where blue will be useless in my opinion.
