Why

I'm not the best player in the world, I don't claim to be. I feed just like anyone else at times, but someone please, for the love of God(s), someone explain to me why Ranked is so much worse than normals? People go full retard at lvl 1 and keep feeding, then bitch and raise cane about their jungler not helping, mid/top not roaming, sucky sup/adc. Why can't people admit they suck that game, quit feeding and try to help win.

This game is just cancerous most of the time

EDIT: Tips are welcome, and if you just have to flame, go for it. We need more bans available!

idk, because your experience is uniquely your own.

i'll hazard a guess and say that ranked is more stressful than normals. If a player dies in ranked, maybe it causes you or your team to go on tilt more often or harder than the same scenario does in normals. Players that don't feel relaxed while playing the game are more likely to miss opportunities or make mistakes. Many pro players have said how sometimes they have trouble getting the same results on stage as they do off-stage (during scrimmages). A large part of this is purely psychological. Players in normals are more likely to overlook the mistakes their teammates make simply because their ranking isn't on the line. But when players enter a ranked game, "all of a sudden" there are a multitude of little things that become "important" and now neither you or your teammates are playing the same game.

So maybe that's why and maybe it isn't. But hopefully you find something I said helpful.

Ranked carries a MUCH higher stress factor. As JRobin31 said. Also, many of the people who play ranked don't take the time to go back, and review their own mistakes. Instead, they get the "Gambler's Itch," in that they try to rush into the next game, with the stink of desperation, to try and get on the winning streak, or make rank quicker. When they lose, that stinky stinky desperation cologne becomes more pungent, those players start to tilt more, then rush to the forums, to share their "my team sucks, I hard carried, but they shit the bed all game," or "nerf X champ, because he/she is so broken," rather than devoting some time to thinking outside the box, learning how to counter x champ/playstyle. Players like those, have lost sight/touch with what the game is supposed to be: Fun.

The stress level for many unranked players(like myself) is much lower, because we play to pass the time, to enjoy the experience, win/lose. Also to try alternate things, such as oddball/cheese builds, and lane swaps/double jungling! Many unranked players(like me!) also play to learn new mechanics and playstyles in normals.
