Why is "It's not ranked" acceptable as an excuse to troll around

I understand people wanting to have fun and all.

Why is it okay for someone to blindly pick someone they've never played before into a game and when asked what they're doing, or if they're the jungle ask them (not like a dick, surprisingly enough) to gank and getting the response of "It's just normals, if you wanna be tryhard go play ranked." Why is this acceptable behavior? Why is this an okay excuse for feeding or just being a shit person who ignores the actual game to do whatever they feel like doing?

We have bots, if you don't care about the game go play around and do what you want there. We have the practice mode, you don't care about the game and want to have fun, knock yourself out. Make a custom game with people you know (if you do, I know not everyone knows lots of people).

Why do we accept this crap as an okay response. We don't have to win and all that, but at LEAST do what you you'd to do and make a worthwhile attempt instead of being shitty...not that ranked seems to be all that different now...

"It's just 'insert here' rank. Git good."

Garbage troll behavior that's accepted.

Because it's just normals really, no1 should care what happens in those games honestly. If I'm not allowed to suck or play half sleep there, then where???

It's you who have to go premade if you want a trustworthy team in quickplay.

Usually when I say "It's norms", it's because someone on my team is flaming and being negative. You're not going to win every single game and that's okay. It's not the end of the world if you don't win a normal game. Yes winning is nice, I get it. But it's not the end of the world if you don't win. :P

People want to try out new strats, builds, champs, etc. because that's what normals are made for. You honestly don't learn ANYTHING from playing bots.

I hated my rank for the longest time because every normal game consisted of trolls and ranked consisted of toxic dbags who would slam you for being mastery 2 on a character. sadly the only place to practice is in a lucky normal lobby with actual meta trying players or in a custom. atleast there is a pbe where people don't often troll but are instead learning

It is Not acceptable!

Just don't try to force the issue. IMO every game I play I play to win but you can't force everyone to do so.

As for those who don't try to play to their ability, well disregard them. Find players that share your view and try to play with them.

Sadly some players ( not all ) just want to encourage others to troll out of spite. We have seen the recent bait banning treads so yep, players sometimes just do so.

Edit: grammar
