I'm so exhausted with people diddling around, feeding, or building stupid items and using the excuse "it's just normals". What is the point of playing normals (to get better of course) if nobody gives a fuck. Seriously, I need a new report reason called "it's just normals excuse".
What's wrong with people diddling around, feeding and building stupid items in normals? Isn't that what normal games are for? To try dumb shit out, goof around and have fun? Some people take this game way too seriously.
I'm so exhausted with people diddling around,
Meh, if normals isn't the place for diddling around (I'm assuming you mean, not pushing to win right away when you're in the lead), where is?
feeding,
Agreed. Feeding is NEVER okay.
or building stupid items
Depends how stupid. I've done adc janna in norms and fed (It's bad), but I was trying. I did it a couple times to see if I could make it work (I couldn't), then stopped because it was terrible. But I don't think you should be able to report me for those games. I was legitimately trying a new strat to see if it would work.
It's just normals? It's 40minutes of 4 other people's lives. Some people rarely get time off to enjoy themselves
You know, I was playing a normals game yesterday and decided to try a new champ. I did pretty bad of course but actually tried. GP all chatted "Report Teemo for feeding". I ACTUALLY TRIED.
In this case my comment of "It's just normals GP, calm down" was justified.
Well I get pissed off when someone relentlessly hassles another player on their team who is doing badly and appears to be trying their best, and won't accept the "It's just normal" excuse. IT'S JUST NORMALS. If you want to be super competitive and an asshole to your underperforming team mates, at least do it in a game mode where it is at least somewhat reasonable for you to be making such a massive stink about another player having a bad game/day. Ranked is for people who want to be ranked, and who want to tryhard all the time. Normals is for people who want to play a NORMAL game of the game they love. Who are you to be telling people how to build and how to play? I guarantee you don't have the best mechanics on every champion and that you don't know the best build for every champ.
However I do understand when people are trolling and intentionally feeding, but people DO NEED to understand that this is just a game. While feeding and trolling are unacceptable, trying out a new build or a new play style for a certain champion is perfectly fine for normal. After all it is just normal. If I want to play adc janna or ap sion I sure as hell should be able to.
Well here is the deal man, if you want everyone to try their hardest then go to ranked (even then though... there is always that one guy).
Feeding on purpose i disagree with, but trying different things, new champions, new meta, etc. that is all part of Normals. Sometimes those things end up with the feeding but (at least in my case) its not on purpose and (at least i do) they are still trying.
So when i build AP Fiora to see how well her W does with max CDR and DFG and you get mad at me i will say "Chill its just Normals" and if im feeding i will say "Well AP Fiora doesnt work, sorry".
When people do stupid, trollish, "fun" stuff in normals and end up feeding, they say "chill out, it's just normals" when their teammates get angry that their fun has been ruined. When people do stupid, trollish, "fun" stuff in ranked and end up feeding, they say "chill out, it's just a game" when their teammates get angry that their rank has been ruined.
No matter what queue you play in, there's always some special snowflake who can't seem to fathom the idea that they aren't the only one playing the game.
its just normals fkin scub go back to bronze
The game is suppose to be for fun, and normals is a place to practice weird builds and fun strategies. If you are looking for a more competitive environment then go play ranked, but normals is for fun.
When I say "It's just normals" it's usually when an ally is raging at another ally or an enemy is raging at his team. Seriously, it's just a game and it should not be giving you stress. If it is, then take a break for a while.
you know, it's a normal game. They don't need to try hard like you because it's not ranked, the only reason you're getting mad is because they're doing non meta things like building stupid items. A normal game isn't "TO PRACTICE MY ELITE GAMER SKILLS TO PREPARE TO CLIMB ELO AND CLAIM MY ROLE AS THE NEW TOP LANE FOR TSM" no, to them it's a game and they're trying some thing fun because...IT'S A GAME. Chances are they were just playing with friends you had a stupid idea that they wanted to do because doing something like it in ranked is a bit silly.
I personnaly love to test some "fun" builds in normals (AP Shyvana etc.)
But even like that i don't end 0/10 and flaming.
A normal game where anyone is trying some troll builds, but no one is flaming but that ends in losing is fine.
But this is nearly impossible when some people only play Zed then flames on every "non-meta" pick, doesn't even has to be a troll or fun build
Normals ARE to practice and fuck around. If you want to play league seriously / competitively, you're in the wrong queue. Try ranked.
When people say "It's just normals", I always reconsider these things my said teammates did:
they still pick lanes as strong meta. Eg. Katarina mid & Kayle top. But when I pick Urgot top, a teammate dodge. Wtf is up with that.
Jungler still ask for a leash. Assuming the part they say it's just normals, as in let's have some fun, I should be getting my fun from top lane. Stop bothering me for leash man, wtf man leave me alone. Wait, why you typed "report Satimmy95" in all-chat for...
Still builds according to champ meta. Why not AP Darius huh? I still see that try-hard Akali building Gunblade & Zhonyas instead of pure tank Warmog & Randuin.
Says "it's just normals" when I tried to play seriously. Snaps back with "wow you bronze scrub stay bronze will you" after the loss game. First, you say the game is just for fun so there's no need to be too serious into it. And now you'r scolding me for not having the skills as a professional after I followed your advice of "playing nicely"? You just went full retard dude. Never go full retard.......
People need to remember this is just a game......
If you actually want to do hilarious stuff like Nunu ADC/AP Pantheon Mid/Movespeed Ezreal Top, by all means do it, just try to do it in the middle of the night because that's when everyone expects everyone in norms to be high. If you're just flat out trolling and trying to ruin the game for the rest of your team, that's inexcusable, but it's fine to be insanely ballsy because that's how you learn faster. Can I 1v2 those guys? In ranked I wouldn't risk it, but if you aren't sure in norms, always try.
No need to pointlessly rage over a normal game, seriously. As you said, everybody's trying to get better by playing normal game, and being toxic because someone made a few mistakes on his way to get better is just selfish. Of course, intentional trolling doesn't count.
It is just normals. I'm gonna have fun my own way. If I wanted a serious game I would go ranked with the miserable people. >.>
Its just a computer game lol
It's the "carry harder" SoloQ mentality that really drives this particular frustration. I have a friend who only works 3 or 4 hours a week, and thus spends way more time playing League by himself than anyone in our group. From a mechanical standpoint, he's probably our best player, but he just can't handle coordinated team efforts. He's so used to carrying games by himself in SoloQ that he's absolutely dumbfounded when the enemy team groups up for a focused attack and gives up the second he's not utterly dominating.
Since SoloQ tends to be a clusterf*** of idiots doing whatever they please, it's not uncommon for a mechanically skilled player to have a free pass to roam around the map and crush everyone. In team games, not so much... but that doesn't stop him from whining about X champ being OP because he's no longer effortlessly stomping his lane.
In my first 20 or so ranked games I saw more people "trying things out" or straight up trolling than in normals! the excuse should actually be "yeah I'm going yi top, but at least it's not ranked!" Lol my face is still in my hands from that first time AD hiemerdinger mid o_O I don't condone experimenting, as long as it's in normals. Not saying I don't find it annoying when someone obviously sets up for failure in normals and feeds super hard, I mean that's 20 - 50 minutes I gotta busy my butt to get you on my back :p I feel your pain OP. But wait till you see it in ranked and you're in ya promos O_o
You're tired of people diddling around?
So... You don't want me to take Nasus, Sion, or Vi bot lane? Surprisingly it works (sometimes). I still lost some of those games because of grievous misplays on my part, but I had a ton of fun. I take GP bot as the ADC. The harass is super-real once you get a sheen which, by the way, is really easy with +5 gold every last hit with Parrrlay.
It's really fun to mess around. So long as you can do okay and not go 0/999/2 by 20 minutes, I'll defend you for trying something out. More than half the fun in this game is fooling around. That being said, I still get salty.
You do something not meta, there two ways it can go:
You feed and you teammates report you.
You carry and your teammates report you.
Normals are supposed to be the fun non stressing games. Some friends and I found out adc zyra works pretty well in norms and did that with support heimerdinger. We did really well and it was lots of fun not stressing about picking the best champions to win but just playing because we like this game and wanted to have some fun.
