And let me clarify. The reason you don't rage while "trying to improve" is because you aren't giving it your 100%. You are essentially practicing or treating the game like a practice mode.

It's like with any trade such as piano. If you are going to play piano, and you want to get to a good level, you can only focus on one aspect to improve at a time. Focusing on everything and combining everything to be perfect won't work.

Same with LoL. The way to improve is to focus on one aspect at a time. And if you're doing that, you will improve but definitely not be "trying to win" as you say.
