Draft normals removed

Xerceas··2 votes·778 views

Why is it that I have to suffer in blind pick while EUW and NA get to chill and actually get their roles in draft. Just yesterday I can name 6 examples of when me or a friend of mine didn't get our roles because blind pick. For example I called adc first and then just as I am about to lock someone instalocks and yells "PREMADE BOT" and steal it. This happened four times.

Yeah, I have no idea what they were thinking. Kind of ridiculous, if you ask me. Draft is obviously the better pick in between the gamemodes (unless they brought teambuilder back). Makes you wonder who makes the decisions around there.

Normal Draft hasn't been removed. Not on NA at least.

Frankly I don't mind blind pick only because I can play the champion I want even if someone on the other team is picking it. Blind pick is meant to be the casual, don't give a crap mode where you just play what you want to play. There shouldn't be any expectation of pro moves and deep strategy. As long as you go into it with that mentality, there's nothing wrong with it.

I don't usually play normals anymore except for streamers' viewer games though.

Frankly it seems like there's too many regions for the game, diluting the playerbase. If it was just "europe," this would be less of a problem. I realize language can be a problem, but is that worth smaller queue populations?

Yeah, but I've heard that EUW people get really tilted when they see someone from a different region and a different language unable to cooperate. I'm in NA so I can't comment on it, but I can see the side effects of it, but I can also see the positives :c

I've played some games in EUW and I'd often see people talking in French, German and Spanish already. I don't thinking adding in the rest of Europe would change much tbh.

There's just so many languages in the EU that I'm sure you have. Plus, don't most countries in the EU make you learn English, or at least the basics of it? So yeah, I'd agree that EU should be connected.

The only problem that MIGHT be - EU is so huge. A lot of players play in EU, so the servers MIGHT not be able to handle the capacity of players. Idk though, just speculating as I'm sure they would've done it a long time ago.

Or at least, I think :c.

Both EU regions have a language problem with EUNEs one being much worse, with Polish, Czech and Romanian people more often than not refusing to speak in anything other than their own native language, sometimes not even knowing basic English in the first place. Then you have the other side of EUNE which is either racist because of us having many countries that hate each other or have so much hate to those three countries because of the refusal to communicate.

Ah, I guess I failed to notice that part, thanks.
