(Civilised Discussion) Why we need both Draft Pick and Blind Pick
Let me keep this concise.
A great structure in team games is to have 3 queues:
- Normals: Blind Pick A place to do whatever you want. Anivia ADC? Annie Jungle? Kalista? Sure!
- Unranked: Draft Pick To practice, to exercise, to put together an epic training montage to "Eye Of The Tiger"
- Ranked: Flex/Solo-Duo The place to try HARD. The place to WIN. This is the real battleground.
The problem? There's little differentiation between the three. Somehow, Ranked is full of trolls, and Blind Pick is full of tryhards. I've never played Draft Pick, because that's never been in OCE, but I'm sure that's somewhere in the middle.
The best solution is to make a bigger difference between the 3 queues. Encourage **Blind Pick ** to be a playground. Make losing **NOT **feel so bad. Encourage friendly chat. Ultimately, "Trolling" is just having fun in the wrong environment.
Ranked? Well, penalties need to be steeper. Ranked should feel like a battleground, like you're proving your worth.
And the topic of the week: Draft Pick Penalties shouldn't be as steep, but still be similar to Ranked. Here, people need to learn and practice. Draft Pick should be like Ranked, but slightly more relaxed.
Let's all be civil about this, and try look at the bigger picture.
