Why are normals so fucking hard?

I don't get it. It is harder to win a normal game with and against silvers/golds than it is a ranked game in plat. Why? I have a 47% win rate in normals and a positive win rate in ranked. Does anyone else find normal games to be pretty miserable?

Normals are hard because theres more skill diversity. Which results in more unintentional feeding than in ranked.

because you have silver/golds on your team too and they dont play like you expect them to.

i just had a similar situation in a normal. we just killed most of the enemy team, snagged baron and i didnt even look at the map, but automatically walked top lane after hitting tab to check enemy respawn timers, as it was the lane that was pushing in the most.

since we were all pretty much full health, i just automatically expected my team to walk down mid and take the turret and the inhib there.

suddently i got rolled over by the other two enemies who were still alive and one guy who respawned, was confused as to what was happening, and realized that half of my team recalled and the other half split up to do random camps in the jungle. no one even walked mid.

we lost the game when they got caught aswell, when we could have just ended it from our position. or at least we could have broken down most of their defenses before resetting.

low mmr doesnt play the same game.

attitude differential and peoepl trying weird shit and in general just not caring. That shoudl be how normals are compared to ranked.... ranked is where you go to try and win and do your best normals is where you try stuff and do things for the lulz .... I wish it was always like that where you didn't get the "normals" attitude in ranked...that is the worst!

actually, a lot of people playing norms are smurfs or some shit. Also, some people play better cause they are not under the pressure of 'LP'.

Definitely. I still feel like people should be matched by level. I mean sure people will have parties where that is voided, but I do feel like I lose a lot of games when I am filled with a team of new players. I don't mind helping players every now, and then. But when it comes to draft, I feel like you should at least get a level match.[slayer-jinx-catface]
