Ranked or Normals. What makes you a good player?

Neither. What makes you a good player is cooperating with your team and accepting small mistakes and throwing them over your shoulder. I understand in ranked it would be a slap on the wrist. But in normal games this doesn't need to be a thing. To long have I seen people judge upon their rank and call people who play normal crappy players. Sometimes we have bad days.. Doesn't mean you should unload and trash talk. Point is. I've seen gold's come into normal and mess up. It's going to happen. I've played 2.5k games so it says on my profile and yes, it says BRONZE. So that means I've played not even less than TEN games of ranked. Don't judge me upon my ranked just because I'm having a bad game in normal and assume I play like this all the time... I make mistakes. Everyone messes up. It just makes the game worse when you put someone down. Instead give good advice without being to critical.

errr, no. if you're like me and you prefer to play ranked, normals are a completely different atmosphere. in ranked you have people trying a lot harder in laning, warding better, and then you have this transition from laning in to careful (...for solo queue standards) team fighting and trying to avoid being picked off and big fights to contest major objectives. in normals everyone lanes and then after the 20 minute mark just runs around doing basically whatever with people solo farming a lane at 45th minute and getting caught out and then the team that caught them out not even capitalising on it by pushing an inhib or doing baron. people don't make an effort in normals.

Normals is an unstable atmosphere yes. But with what comes with that you have to kind of just go with it because not everyone who plays normal is good. This is why it makes it interesting. Ranked is only stressful because of a lot more trash talk. This is why I don't play ranked. It's worse with better gameplay I suppose. The scale is uneven between the two. That's just my opinion. My first experience wasn't that great because of people that like to trash talk. I can accept trash talk in normal because I have an ego amount of wins vs their logic. But sometimes I am in the wrong because I'm not perfect.

ranked isn't stressful because of trash talk, it's stressful because you're all trying as hard as possible to gain elo and climb by winning your games. if you don't care about climbing, ranked isn't stressful. people still shit talk in normals.

heres my two cents

Normals: waste of time, unless you are trying out a duo partner. The reason why I say this is simple. People dont try. Ive beaten plats and diamond on normals, but ik im not at that level yet. they dont try and/or are playing new champs they never played before.

Ranks: its a royal pain. Im currently in Gold which is ok and it is hard to climb since I main support and play solo q. The main issue with Gold and below rank player is the lack of respect for their teammates. What I mean is that some players dont give a fuck if they win or lose. This lead to troll picks and builds. What I consider a troll pick is a player who picks a champ he has never played b4 and plays him in a lane he never/does play. For example: i had a yasou who never played yasou before decide to play him as a jungler. what a nightmare. Then you have duos who are more likely to troll your team. Another example is player will queue for rank instead of normal when they only have 20-30min of game time before they leave. Another example in champ selection player will refuse to communicate. Why dont they mention their 3 strongest lane so that we can work around it. Instead of putting two players in their weakest lanes. Also if you cant play a role. Just dodge for fuck sakes. You will only lose 5min and 3lp instead of making your team suffer 30min and 20 lp
