I am never playing a non ranked game again
My apologies to anyone in ranked that I have to play with while learning a champ. But I played my last game of unranked last night and I will never do it again. Unranked makes the 7th level of hell look like heaven. I waited two weeks to finally try Pyke when his price dropped and in three straight games I couldn't have a single game where I was even able to test him out. It was either adc just afked from load or they kept announcing their 1k ping. Or the time my team went to buff and just afked while the other team invaded and killed all 4 of them and took the buff while I was the only one actually at my computer wildly pinging and trying to warn them.
There is no way to learn or enjoy anything in normals because no one gives a shit. I don't expect people to be playing at 110% all of the time in normals, I don't even expect great matchups. But this is beyond the pale, people throw on purpose and don't even make an attempt to play the game. I don't give a shit about my rank anymore, this game is 90% suffering anyways but I fucking refuse to take part in that clown fiesta ever again. I know riot can't do anything about it, it's just a cultural thing. I really wish I could play on korean servers sometimes. I am sick to death of the no fucks given NA culture.
