Changing "Draft (Normal)" to "Draft Pick" or "Draft Pre-Ranked"

Far too many times I play draft pick and I am matched up with people that don't take it seriously because there is the "normal" tag to the title. Draft pick is for those that are practicing for ranked games but don't want to hurt their rank by going in not in the right mindset. Draft pick gets people in the mindset for ranked. You think of draft pick as ranked and play as if it is then you will be in the right mindset for a real ranked game. But it is hard to do when people keep saying "chill its just a normal game." its not just a normal game. I vote that they change the title of the draft pick so that it no longer say normal next to it. A simple fix for psychology of players.

Flex is what I use for practicing real ranked. I think draft is a normal game and it is just for fun. I think there was a whole thread about this yesterday. It is just for fun, however people are still expected to try and win. But they aren't obligated to play it like it's ranked. You could say "go play blind pick" but what if I wanted to play mid and top? Blind pick resorts to whoever has the fastest internet for roles. No fun playing blind and ALWAYS getting support, so I play draft pick so I can play mid despite the fact that I'm going full AP soraka.

but hat is the attitude, its normals so it doesnt matter, that makes this game NOT FUN. people dont give a crap about "normals" so they play like shite. if the title was changed from having normals next to it then it will change the mindset. or atleast give it some kind of incentive to win.
