Let me start saying that i understand you and your situation. I too get often mad when playing LoL and the main reason for me to rage is one: i can't stand other players being clearly of a much lower level of the rest of the players in a game. Matchmaking isn't perfect and it maybe can't be at all but when a 1000 wins player shows the incompetence and inexperience of a beginner, i actually get mad. I do whatever i can to provide my team with the best performances, i take the game very seriously and i do expect the others to do the same.

The "you dont play the game to win, you play it for fun" arguments are bull**it to me, good for games like WoW, where the pvp is only a part of the game. League of Legends is a MOBA, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena and its very essence is to best your opponents. If you don't play to win, if you just want to play Poppy, even if it means to go support, you're just an idiot and you shouldn't play LoL. As a part of a team i feel resposible for the game outcome and i try to do the best (do consider i'm a support player) in order to make my team win. If one of my team mates trolls, plays badly, feeds or doesn't listen to the team, well, i can't help myself.

Back to the actual topic, the only thing i could suggest you is not to play when you're already stressed, just do a coop game maybe, and play with friends. I do rage against some of my friends too but they know it's just a matter of that particular game, as soon as the game ends i'm joking and talking with them as nothing happened. They know i'm like this, i may get mad for a couple of seconds but the rage ends there, just don't insult them out of the context.

Oh, a last thing. I often find it very satisfying to play a good game, no matter how it will end. Even if my team loses in 20 minutes because of some crazy feeder or troll, if i just did a really good game i'm happy for my performace although angry for the loss.
