Why? Is the 50ish more IP you get when you win really worth it?

And before anyone tries to insult me. Yes, i'm salty.

I'm salty about seeing a wukong/caitlyn/sona/raka in every single game I play on the legend of poro game mode. I'm salty about seeing a fizz/morgana/lee sin/tristana in every single teambuilder I play I'm salty about not being able to play a casual game in normals(draft) trying out a new champ without someone counterpicking and ruining the experience (Well, you can go to bots.) Well, you can tell riot to make bots less r%%%%%ed so it would effect how you play in a game.

I left this game for 2 months. When I came back I told myself "ok, no more ranked. Nothing but tryhard kids who whine about everything. I'll go play with casuals in normals" nope, can't even do that.

Then comes this legend of poro king mode. I think "hey, an aram where you pick your champ. I'm sure the people will pick the op champs in the first few days then start joking around" nope. It's the same damn champs in every game.

Side Note: Riot, is it REALLY that hard for you to nerf all healing abilities across the board to make the game modes you create less, stupid? Urf/OFA/This crap etc. Healing being nerfed would make it A LOOT less infuriating.

"There's always dominion and 3v3!" Ah, dominon. The game mode that's decided by who gets the afk or malzahar bot on their team 3v3, you mean the place where the duo's go to find a solo que'r to b*tch at?

TL;DR: Tryhards need to stay out of casual games

Here's the problem with that....

You specifically mention normal - draft mode, this just so happens to be where Riot sends all the naughty, toxic players when they are banned from playing ranked.

This wouldn't mean much, except Riot forces those players to WIN a given amount of games in normal draft, not just play, but win. This causes a problem for casuals like yourself who just want to play a relaxed game. Because now that game mode is full of ragers all going super try hard to get a win so they can get back to raging in ranked games.

IMO this not only ruins it for you, but pretty much set up the toxic players to continue to be toxic, because now they are matched up with players who aren't taking the game seriously, when for them winning is all that matters. Pretty much guarantees that no one ends up happy.

But what did we really expect from Riot? a company that misses about as badly as any company ever has when it comes to dealing with player behavior.

So, what if I enjoy a champion who is FoTM for a reason of me enjoying them and not because they are FoTM? Do I just not pick who I enjoy using because one person is angry?

Isn't the point of team builder to pick a champion you enjoy without the rage? If I enjoy Fizz occasionally, i'm going to use him.

While I do agree with you, I think you are going about it the wrong way. Like others have said maybe some of those champions are their favorite and are just playing them because they are fun! I was playing Sona my first few games of king Poro, but it was mainly because of the icon (which at the time I didn't know I already had) but still they are fun to mess around with even when they are op! It doesn't change the fact though that what tc is speaking of is a problem! This was mainly back when URF was up and so many people would bitch that I'm not playing OP champions! I could never play the champions I wanted because they weren't good enough to win with in URF. It got so irritating that I just stop playing that mode because it wasn't fun any more. People took it too serious as if they were getting something out of it!
