> I been playing this game for over 2 years so far and what I am seeing is a lot of players now being a bit too competitive in casual matches some casuals being too causal in rank matches. I understand that** some players** just like to play blind and draft pick on a high competitive level and don't want to play rank at all or sometimes and some players likes to play casually on a rank competitive system.

> Sometimes, players can be too competitive in just a normal match up. I'm not talking about their skill in general but I mean by their attitude in the game. When someone on their team starts to die a lot (not intently) or just want to try a new build out (even if it's a bit troll), they will start have that competitive mind starting to build up and tell themselves "WTF? This where the human mind started to boil up to the point where they say "No no no , what you are doing is wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself because you should know better about this champion you are playing and how you play them since right now you really started to suck ass at this game and I know that champion better than you." to their teammates (even though they are playing a **completely different champion right now **).

> It's started to get to the point where things just get too far in the game and nobody is having fun right now. Everyone should realized by now that players who really like to play competitive, should go play rank since Riot did said that rank is mostly the play for players like these. Still, players like to play casually since they don't want to deal with their ranks and LP on their shoulders. That's where the player should know by now that they are going in a normal blind or draft pick right now and should lower down their competitive level since this game would most likely have players who like to have fun, may die a lot, or go a completely off meta build. But, the player wouldn't even think the slightest second to think about all of this and just go join a game.

> Now for players who like to play game casually, just let them stay who they are in a normal game. Rank however, should not be taken so lightly since this mode is for trying to be the best of the best. Casual players who play rank casually is kinda ok but at the same time not. Rank is the matter of your placement in the rank ladder and playing casually can be fine but at the same time the player must be competitive. This place not to be messing around since now you enter the real war zone of rank matches. Still it doesn't change the fact that a player will be angry for someone who is playing this casually in a rank game and will get all over their faces.

> This game is mostly to have fun with friends or online players around the whole world and it's sad to see that players starting to forget what Fun even is anymore. Some player thinks fun is to play along with the game and sometimes it's to be competitive in many ways possible. We as the community should know that everyone is not perfect and we all make mistakes. That what makes us all humans and we should stick together before the end is near. There are people behind that champion right now who have feelings too like a human being. We shouldn't just be mad at someone who is either too competitively or too casual in a normal or rank game. As a fellow player, I would like to have everyone try to be not so toxic to one another and just a good time playing this game since this game is what brings everyone together in the first place. We are all not robots who are program to be the most perfect League player out in the whole world but as a human League who can make some perfect plays and mistakes while playing the game. So with that said, let casual players be themselves in normal games and let competitive players be competitive in ranks matches. And if you are player who likes to play causally on rank games or competitively on normal games, then just lower down your competitive state in a normal game or rise up bit more than your causal state in a rank match. We all have a way to express how we like to have fun but, we shouldn't let others turn into your kind of playstyle in game since everyone have a different playstyle. Thank you all for taking your time reading this and let's make** League Of Legends** as strong as ever in the near future as a whole community!

the problem arises when people believe that its ok to not want to win the game. that is called "griefing", which is a bannable offense. if you are doing poorly and saying "gg, its just a game", which minimizes and demoralizes the team, you fall into this group of people. playing casually and playing competitively are different, but in any regard, you should still be trying to win the game. nobody wants to play chess with a guy that just keeps moving once piece back and forth because "its just a game"

Nicely thought out, though I'd add that it's just a game, let those who want to try harder play ranked and keep the groups split.

But that is how a lot of people actually climb. When you take Ranked too seriously everything tilts you of the most minor thing. But when you treat Rank games as if they are normal games you start to gain LP, because you no longer tilted out the ass when your bot lane fails a tower dive at lvl 3. Every 2 minutes you hear Enemy Double Kill Triple Kill constantly. I know you don't treat is super casual like trying a new champion in ranked, but use your main and treat it like your using your main in a normal game.
