Seriously, if you're life has gotten you that far down that you need to trash talk a normal game when using your main, just go find that mute all button because no one wants to hear it. Normal is where people to play new champions, learn how to play a new role, or try something completely different just for the lulz. Get your ego out of this game please.
Khorvus5 votesActually it's Practice Mode, Custom, and Co-op vs AI where people are supposed to learn how to use champs and once comfortable, then take it live. There's nothing worse than hearing "It's just a norm nbd" or better yet some sarcasm when they feed "Oh did I affect your ranking?". Normal mode takes the same amount of time and energy to play as a ranked game, this is a weak excuse.
DrCyanide5 votesAnyone who's actually played against AI knows that's only an option for maybe one game before you've learned everything you're going to learn about a champion from playing the bots. Normals is where you actually learn the champion.
While Normals takes the same time/energy, it doesn't have the same lasting results. Lose a game in Ranked because you picked a new champion and you could force a teammate to win 5 games in a row to catch up to where they were (if that loss was a promo). Lose a Normal game and you're set back at most 1 game for a first win of the day or a mission.
Weathered1 votesI can't speak for lower ELOs, but in higher MMRs practicing against AI is completely useless and doesn't help you learn a champion any more than reading their wiki. Once you progress to knowing the game knowledge well enough it is much more efficient to jump in and learn the champion on the fly, or at least for me it has worked.
Regarding practice tool, I've only ever used it to practice extremely hard champion moves, like one part GP barrels or Kha'Zix double jumps.
Kivolan3 votesTrash talking shouldn't be in any game, period.
I play my main in normals regularly to make sure I keep my skills up to snuff, to try new items, new builds, or play against new or reworked champions.
