Blind pick? Sure idc. But draft is less lax. I want to win. I don't know where this mentality came from. I got reported because I asked the 2/11 morde to stop feeding. He said "who cares its a norm" Like do people not play to win? Is this not the point of playing the game? I suggested he played safe against the yasuo who was 3-4 levels ahead of him and yet he kept walking to lane and 1v1ing and dying. God damn I hate this game sometimes
HKT Striker1 votesPeople usually practice champions in norms. However, this mordekaizer did go a little bit too far. I don't go 100% all serious mode and pick my mastery 7 champions in norms, but I wouldn't feed (Or at least I wouldn't try to feed, sometimes it's inevitable)
Also, if you want a more serious environment, play ranked. However, be mentally prepared to be flamed at, and use the mute button if necessary.
Anger Gives Motivation On Purpose, But It also reduces intelligence, so I usually stay chill form and drink coke if I feel like I'm starting to tilt. Just drink cold drinks.

and that is the biggest problem, u want a serious game, go ranked and get flamed for everything that happens. Or go play a norm, who cares, AP lulu ADC because "its just a norm" or "aram" or "doombots". cant we just make a separate category so we can report those fkers? So one can play serious without getting flamed at.
Sir Fuzzi1 votesWinning has long been 'tryhard' in League. I can't remember a time where it hasn't toed the line outside of what I am sure is the Tir Na Nog known as Platinum, or Diamond, or Challenger, or whatever division Boards has decided is valid enough to have access to words and opinions or whatever the fuck and where winning is finally an acceptable thing to work toward. That being said, attitude in League is fucking godawful and I am floored when people deny it. I've not see a community quite as bad and I spent much of my teen years on 4chan and vanilla WoW (Barrens chat holla-- The Crossroads is under attack)-- I've seen some shitty communities. For my experiences, League is the worst.
I won't count my five games of DotA2, because I'd rather just forget about them.
I mean, 'serious' is one thing and surely belongs to ranked. But trying to win, or rally a winning effort, should not have a backfire that isn't losing to the enemy team. And yet it does, and sometimes these people tilt out of fucking control when you say things as simple as 'Morde you might want some defense builds if you're having trouble,' launching right into inting. I've seen it happen. People lose it over whatever the hell they want in League and usually try to throw as a result. I wouldn't say it's common for me but it's a common complaint and I've certainly seen it happen enough.
But then, isn't always the fucking 2/11? It's never 7/3 who eats shit to a turret and says, "ha, norms"-- it's the guy who just a goddam trough for the enemy team to snarf goddam Mordekaiser soup out of, all while he acts like this isn't the common occurrence for him to get smeared across the lane like a fart gone wrong.
I don't mean to sound prudish or rude here but I think you might glean something from looking up threads of similar name or discussions.
TBH when I run a KDA of 1:2+ I just tell people "sorry, I'm garbo at champion, trying to learn." Self-deprecation has never gotten me farther than in League, I'll say that for it. It's usually when people turn up with tips and help.
Succubús GF1 votesOmg lol self deprecation usually gives me leniency. If I die a few times I flame myself and people tend to not get too ham on me. Community wise, ive played dota, smite and League. Gotta say smite is just a bit more toxic as theres more rage quits and passive aggressive pinging LOL. But internet communities generally are just going to be awful. I wasn't saying "you have to try your absolute hardest every second in a norms!" but like ffs at least care enough to not make me miserable
Nalisai1 votesNeed to rename 'Normal Draft' to 'Ranked Practice'. Or add PVP capability to practice mode....
DeathBurst1 votesI mean, "who cares its a norm" is not the best answer, but "stop feeding" is the worst comment in the first place. Like, even in Normals, people don't int, they don't appreciate dying. Maybe they try hard a little less, but what do you think you will accomplish by telling them to not feed? "Oh sorry OP, you're right, I'm gonna start being good, now"?
Succubús GF1 votesI literally asked him to be more conscious with yasuo's lead and he ignored me completely. Sorry there isn't a nice way to say "stop feeding:" Because feeding = feeding. LUL
people don't int,
DeathBurst1 votesNo, people don't int. People tilt, rage, flame, lose focus and play badly, blame you for their own mistakes. People are dumb and petty. But people don't lose on purpose, in an overwhelming majority of case. I may have seen maybe 1 or 2 int'ers since the beginning of Season 7, and I've played literally hundreds of games since then.
Icy Hot Shoto1 votesFun fact; bad games exist. If someone's having a bad game, and you go and say "stop feeding", you're just gonna make it worse. If the person is in fact having a bad game and not inting; ie they're getting dove constantly. If you tell them, "play safe", when they're playing as safe as they can... they're more likely to either afk or tilt even more and start feeding more than they were. Give them advice that can help.
If they're not able to ward, tell them to control ward one bush and use their regular wards on the other(s). If they're not surviving, check they're items and see why. If the enemy has crit tell the person to go for Randuins, since that lowers crit damage. If the enemy is ap, tell them to get some mr and health. Help them instead of telling them something that's useless.
If they refuse to listen, they're either way too tilted or purposely feeding. However, it'll depend on the situation. Most often, though, if someones purposely feeding they tend to build boots. Just boots. Or other useless items that don't help them at all with anything other than feeding. Which is usually boots. xD
Succubús GF1 votesI get that, but I honestly was nice about it at first. I asked him to be more careful and he was like "fk you karma you are trash support bad" Me, the 3/1/1 karma doing better than everyone on my team LUL. Support life op
