New Queue - Ranked Practice

Someshta·12/19/2013, 3:03:03 AM·1 votes·381 views

I enjoy playing ranked games because I know the other players are both more competitive and more committed to game play than your average Normal player. I play a lot of decent games in Ranked, and they are usually challenging. But, I don't always want to endure the emotional roller coaster that can hit you when your rating is at stake. At times like that, I'll play some Normal matches, but it's just not the same. What I really want is to be able to play a Ranked game without the consequences; to be matched with other players based on my Ranked MMR without the outcome affecting my rating. That way we can take a break from some of the stress and still enjoy the skill level we've worked for.

So basically a "Normal" queue in pbe? I agree 100%, but for different reasons.

I want a normal queue simply for the purpose that I thought the beta existed, namely to play/test champions and situations and provide feedback. I find myself going to play bots on dominion to try out new champions which is less than ideal.

Its hard to do the same ranked for obvious reasons. You could very easily throw a game if the champion you want to play doesn't fit the role you get. Much more pressure to stick to your existing champion pool.
