When somone flames you in normals for trying a new champion

I can't agree with that. Because if you learn the mechanics against someone who is using their main, you learn how to fight against champions at a severe handicap in that they aren't human.

A combo might work against bots, but be impractical against a human because who would fall for that? Your expectations of power from a champ are skewed because you jump from having the higher ground to the lower ground.

Yeah, you might get a loss, but you see all the intricacies of the scenarios brought along with the champion you play. Like Jhin for example, his plants do a shit load of damage, and they stack. The bots will walked onto them over and over if even attempt to bait them.

But a human might get hit once with that trick and just decide to walk away. Now you realize that you have to spread them out because vision and the slow are more important to an immobile carry.

1. Please calm the flip down.

2. Nobody is making you play bots and you aren't going to learn bad habits playing against bots unless you actually try playing exactly like them.

3. Bots are like driving a car in an open lot. You have room to make mistakes so that you get the feel for the car you are driving before you take it out in actual traffic. That way you at least have the general idea down.

4. People are going to be upset when they think you are throwing/trolling. 0/6 at the 15 minute mark is just hard to look at even if you are just spectating. Nobody has fun throwing the match unless they are intentionally trolling.

5. Everyone has bad games. No way of hiding it and there is no way someone hasn't had it. However, blindly going into a game without the first idea of how the champion works could be considered throwing in itself because you have the ability to at least look that crap up.

An added note. Saying that you don't care if you feed and tilt your team is one of the most anti fun attitudes you could have. Some people actually need their teammates trying to enjoy the game. Imagine playing Football and the rest of your team only half assedly tries to help, putting no real effort into it resulting in the other guys getting an easy win. Nobody likes the feeling of being the only one trying.

"Refuse to play bots for any reason...I'm an adult" Huh? Refuse to play bots for any reason, why? Even if it's considered courteous to do so and take others' feelings into account? That's more adult than...Everything you just said, which is a rather childish mentality. That makes literally no sense. Disregarding the feelings of others and dismissing that they care at all is "adult"? That's seriously the exact opposite of the spirit of the word.

Normals is the only place where you literally can not lose anything, and you gain IP completely regardless of how well you do.

If someone gets upset in Normals at you for trying someone or something new, well, they're playing in the wrong mode. I still think there should be a "pub mode" of sorts that is separate from Normal Draft because there's no truly casual mode, but since there isn't one, Normal Draft remains the most casual mode there is to just practice.

Time spent gaming is not wasted because it's (should be) a relieve from the stress of everyday life. If a moron plays like he cares about nothing because "it's just a game" well:

• Said person could go Coop vs AI or Custom game, no need to go PvP
• Said person is wasting the time of 4 other ppl, so he/she should just quit

Er, if you're doing something, whether or not it's a waste of time has literally nothing to do with whether or not you get money for it. That makes no sense. Getting paid to do something doesn't automatically make it a good thing, or time well spent.

I would be frightened by someone who believed that, actually. Recreation and enjoying hobbies are certainly not a waste of time, they're a necessary part of life.

The problem is most of the time he will ALWAYS be behind their carry in damage/items. Unless their bot lane is garbage, you aren't getting a kill until mid game and Jhin doesn't even get to an "ok" level of power until 2.5 items. I've played him a good amount (second highest played champ in ranked this season) and still believe he's not worth bringing to a team right now.

Picks are nice with the W, but it is very easy to miss when compared to a Jinx W (since Jhin's actually matches the animation of a very narrow line) and the traps are impossible to hit on someone that doesn't even pay attention and keeps walking. I'm not saying they should be guaranteed damage or anything, but you should have to pay attention to walking on a trap to avoid getting hit.

And don't even get me started on the ult. Still buggy as hell with framerate drops and people skipping around and honestly doesn't hit hard enough to justify using half the time. Later on in the game it hits......kind of hard, but it actually having %missing health damage on it would at least make it punishing for their tank to just shake off all 4 shots and barely move in health (try shooting past Malphite or Sion...doesn't work).

But my #1 change to Jhin that should've happened on release is make Dancing Grenade mark the enemy champion for W. It doesn't make sense for Morgana's puddle to mark people or any other arbitrary ability when my OWN abilities don't mark champions (except E).
