Why rage in normals?

I got placed in Gold 3 this season and decided to play normals except for Ranked 3s with friends for the next month or so, because Ranked is so stressful. Why do people have to rage in normals? I feel like there only way you can play a game without getting raged it is by playing ARAM or playing with 4 other friends. What is the point of raging in normals?

What's the point of raging in a video game at all? I mean I can see it in the LCS or organizations alike, but even in ranked why rage? It's just a game.

better question, why rage at all? I get sometimes you really want that win in ranked and then bot lane fed and now you're losing but A: chances are you also made poor choices that helped lead to your loss B: if this game causes so much stress you break the summoners code maybe you should play some candy crush saga and chill for a bit?

That's my take on people raging (I've been known to rage in the past but I'm moving on can't stop people from being bad, better to focus on my own play and see what I did wrong)

Mostly because champions like Fizz exist. Because most people dislike losing as it feels as if you just wasted a solid half hour of time entirely, or perhaps you're against a ridiculously irritating and frustrating champion, such as Talon or MonkeyKing

I think it's okay to rage in a healthy manner, I don't think you should ever curse or yell at your own teammates, as that won't make them play any better, it would probably just make them throw the game since they wouldn't want to play with you anymore anyway. That's my opinion though.

Some people (strangely) take normals seriously.

Normals are where you eff around and try new builds... winning doesn't matter because there are no stakes, however some people (again, strangely) think it matters beyond a simple testing ground. Shrug.
