"It's normals" is not an excuse to play poorly

Normals is for getting skill with champions.

Just because it's normals doesn't mean I can keep going up mid lane and play offensively until I die. Just because it's normals doesn't mean I can take my jungler's farm.

You hinder the other people's abilities to learn their champion when you don't at least try (with whatever build you do) to do well.

Its just normals is an excuse the idiots make for being bad at the game.

Actually it is, in norms, you don't lose anything of value when doing poorly. You don't lose LP or rank by losing in norms. So players have all the right to do poorly as long as it doesn't break the rules of the game (Feeding, flaming, etc).

Sometimes I play norms to try weird stuff that works like Tristana top and even if I was doing badly, I know in the end, nobody will care about the game. (Unless you pull off some penta in the process.)

It's a great excuse because there is no loss of anything if you lose and no gain if you win. It's a great place to practice for ranked, or on new champions. You can't expect everyone to just pick up a champion on their first game. That's what normals are for, or to just have fun. It's for casuals, not tryhards. If you don't like that then go play ranked. Playing incredibly aggressive and feeding on a champion is a great way to figure out its limitations (obviously not intentionally feeding, just feeding because you do not know the limitations of the character and make mistakes). Taking a junglers farm is a part of the game. If I notice the jungler isn't farming very well I'll walk up and take it because it's a waste of free gold and exp if the jungler just leaves it there. Sometimes it's also beneficial for a more fed person, or less likely to die person to get a buff because they may be able to use it better than you.

bots = mechanics and skill with champions

normals = match ups and for people who "just dont want to play ranked". figuring out what beats what and what actually works.

ranked = serious try hard put your pants on where they belong, no more on your head.

but it is true, you are mandated to try to win, even in normals, but you are not required to be experts at meta champs, feel free to try annie adc.
