if you aren't serious about a mode, don't play it

If you aren't serious about a mode, don't ruin it for those that are. That means all modes. Not just "the competitive" mode (which stinks). You are on a team, don't start unless you plan to play it as seriously as ranked.

Or, rather, don't play a mode if you don't intend to win.

This is a game, it is meant to be fun. If you are not having fun, why are you playing?

I know what you mean man. I am sick of the "It's only normals" "It's only ARAM" ect comments that most people say when they are feeding like an African relief camp. Normals, ARAM, and Twisted Treeline players should be offered the same competitive effort that ranked players are but because there is no ELO on the line people just don't care and therefor don't really try. It sucks and I agree with you but that isn't going to change the trolls that queue up.

I agree with this completely.

You should always make every effort to win the game, regardless of mode. Saying "it's only normals" or "it's ARAM who cares if I feed" is ruining it for someone else that wants to win.

Not everyone plays ranked, but everyone deserves to have a competitive game where people are actually trying to win. I don't see why that's a bad thing.

League is the only community I've ever seen where "trying hard" is said to someone as an insult. It really says a lot about the people that think in such a way, though.

So........ What are you trying to say here?

I know the dont troll and int feed etc but I get the feeling you are implying at something else.

I like to try new champs on the alternative modes because you level and itemize faster and have to learn in a very fast paced environment. Not gonna stop doing that just you take the game too seriously.

I play the game for fun. Fun doesn't mean int or troll or anything, sure, but it also doesn't mean "take this shit super seriously at all times like your rank depends on it."

Fuck that.

If you're mad I'm experimenting in an ARAM, go back to Ranked. If you're mad I'm trying new champs in Blind, get out of Blind.

So you're telling me that I'm forced to play at my fullest potential on fun mini-games such as URF, even when there's a ranked implement system? That's fucking idiotic, hate to break it to you.
