Am i wrong for playing to win in normal? I play champs im not good with in Normal but I still try to win and use it fro practice. Every game I play there are people doing stupid tower dives and fights without team and saying "Its just a normal" and it kinda feels like im wasting my time. Like is Normal a place to just fuck about? are you not supposed to try in normal games?
This is the issue with the concept of "fun". It's entirely subjective and varies person to person.
People used to take normal's way too seriously. Now people don't take them seriously enough.
It's not much of a problem if you are just having a bg, or doing risky plays for the sake of doing risky plays but when you are just acting stupid that is just no fun and toxic. That's why we have custom games.
Ranked is no fun either sometimes. I've had people feed or afk because I chose to play off meta champs Like Zil Mid or AP varus.
It's hard to have fun competitive matches in a game that is suppose to be fun and competitive.
You're not wrong to play to win, you should always play to win. But you have to realize you don't lose anything for losing a Normals game, so instead of Tilting because you lost maybe you should reflect on what you did wrong during the game. During normals, you shouldn't take it all too seriously. You should play to win, but you should also be playing to learn, so make sure to take those losses and improve yourself from them.
This may sound like a really long-time-invested solution however, if you make a new account where your rank doesn't matter to you and use that to test new champs, you will have more serious people to play with most of the time.
Yep, it annoys the shit out of me when I'm trying to get a decent game in and I get told "if you want a real game, play ranked".
Remember, if you have to ruin someone else's fun for your fun, then you are in the wrong.
