normals dont count

and why is that?

Because people in this game are elitist and think that nothing other than challenger-tier ranked games matter.

Ignore those people.

because nobody takes normals seriously

I happen to take normal very seriously Even Faker, Bjeregson, and Sneaky had to start somewhere They wouldn't have gotten nearly as good as they are if every time they did something in a normal someone shot them down and told them it sucked. Besides, its not like you can jump into ranked as a new, level one player can you? You have to play normal to hit level 30

why do you take them seriously if there's nothing at stake?

Because I'm allergic to ranked and taking normals seriously is the equivalent of taking League seriously to me.

Even if people don't go full try-hard, (Literally the definition of ranked) it doesn't mean they don't care for the outcome, or will let a Janna steamroll them if they can help it.

are you saying that if you get a job that's not your ideal position within the company you would blow it off and not take it seriously? Its still a match, its still matters to others, and last time I checked it does count. What can be earned in a normal Champion mastery points Mastery Chests Enjoyment(even if your not the best you still get this) Key Frag chance A safer place to play off-meta champs/builds

All in all norms may not have quite as large long term affect like ranked, but its still fun and it causes no pressure like ranked

There's nothing "at stake in a ranked game" either... other then your MMR which by the way is USELESS in the REAL WORLD.

elo is at stake

which funnily enough actually matters

Reaper Soraka2 votes

normals has an mmr system as well, which is at stake. It's the equivalent of elo-- in fact I'm pretty sure the two are interchangeable. The real difference is ranked gives you a border for the next season. Nothing else really changes.

thats the difference, you take normals seriously, pick your main, play smart, ward, fulfill what your role must do etc...while on the other hand you get players that test champions, builds, roles, would take high risks because they dont care if they win or lose etc. Things are very different in ranked, besides the low tiers ofc. On the topic, you are not really to feed if you play mid janna, simply because she is very safe champion, hyper mobile, CC, shield, disengage ult. The problem is you will face a real mage, which will have no problem farming against you and scales much better with items and is likely to have a high roam potential and will start to bother your team really soon. Ofc thats in competitive games, i bet most the time you get mid laners which play their second game with a champion and you will rarely face real mains which care to win on any cost.

Normals dont really count. i had a 95% win rate as varus out of 30 games in norms. Took him to ranked and it was a completely different story

hahahahaha this makes me laugh. I did the same thing with AD Jungle TF. My friends told me that it didn't work anymore and I went on a 9 game winstreak earning 2 S- ranks, including one 18-8-18 with over 300 CS in a 35 minute game :)

P.S. shouts out to your jungle Kog'Maw he builds almost exactly like my TF

Do you rush ludens or tear? I imagine the idea is to one-shot minion waves asap so that would be ludens, but what do you do before that point?

Witch of Babylon1 votes

I get Tear before Ludens. The sustain is disgusting.

I get Tear before Ludens. The sustain is disgusting.

And how do you play the early game? Standing forward and poking with w and e-empowered-autos, or sitting back and using a few Q's and autos to snag as much farm as you can?

Witch of Babylon1 votes

I just do the second thing you said. I spam tornadoes but not too much that I'll get OOM. I take mana regeneration seals and that mana mastery in Cunning so I won't get OOM too fast either. Once I get Archangel's Staff and like an amplifying tome or something I can go aggressive.
