Normal drafts are for learning champions

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve loaded up a normal draft and picked a champion I want to learn and said “I’m trying to learn this champion, I might not be good” and get met by someone flaming me and dodging. A normal draft is a NORMAL! It’s for learning and having fun, not playing your best champ and tryharding (although you can do that too if you want). I’m trying not to go full rant here but you get the idea. Blind pick isn’t for really serious learning, either. It’s for messing around more than you would in a draft.

No, its really not. Norms is for people that:

Want to learn new champions or improve their techniques in a non-ranked environment.
Want to play casually by themselves or with friends but still take it more seriously than you would in blind.
Want to just play the damn game without worrying about ranked or other bullshit.

If you want to learn something new, do it with other people, not randoms. They don't know you or your intentions, and they'd rather not risk you ruining their fun just because you want to try something you know has the possibility to go wrong.

I think that there shouldn't be any messing around and people should still try to win as much as they can with lots of effort. It's still a game we have to play regardless of it being blind or draft. I do agree you don't have to be perfect nor that has to be your main champ, but you can still try your best. I hate when players turret dive, die, then laugh it off cuz it's their first time and then try diving again and die again. I think the game should still be taken seriously and given effort and not messed around. But yes you can use it to learn new champ but still no messing around. But I think if people really want to practice, do it in bots or practice tool first ffs. :D

Just dont tell people you're learning a champion. It's quite pointless. Saying you might not do good is the cherry on the shit cake as who wants to play with a feeder? Even in norms it sucks.
