Its Just Norms!

SorryForYourLoss·Jun 7, 2017·9 votes·967 views

I really don't care that it's just norms. I'm not trying to waste 30-45 minutes of my time on a loss because you want to troll and int every lane while bragging about it in chat.

"Its just norms" is the most tilting statement anyone has made in my presence on league. That, and "I dont care."

Sorry, if this was call of duty and i could get into a new match in 7 more minutes, whatever, feed your happy ass off. But this is league. If you don't want to try at all, go play aram or the featured game mode.

Norms are good for trying champs in pvp when bots become too easy. If they're not trying to win that's rude, but if they are but are sucking, they're probably trying the champion.

Unfortunately, it's pretty much just a shitty meme at this point. Just like when you're playing an ARAM or any other game mode and people will say "It's just ARAM" or "It's just Poro King". People who scorn or belittle others for wanting to do their best to win have some of the most negative mentalities in League of Legends. It's like they don't understand that their own definition of fun isn't the only one that exists. Some people consider doing their best in a game regardless of winning or losing to be fun, and that's perfectly fine. Others are more competitive and have more fun in victory than in defeat, which is also fine. But somehow, the latter are made fun of for being "tryhards" while the trolls who pick top Bard or support Gangplank in Normals get a free pass more often than not because "it's just a normal". Seems fair to me.

It's the same deal with Flex. People don't care for win. And it should be more important as it's ranked after all

As a player of bot annie and support garen, i agree that "its just norms" is the worst and most annoying excuse for someone being bloody bad.

If one must fuck around with idiotic picks in norms, at least do it right and make an effort.

right? I never judge in pre game. I pick Zed Support sometimes because of his heavy sustain and naturally bursty damage vs ADCs. People who say GG in champselect belong in the deepest pits of bronze.

Hehe, talon support in norms is fun too.

Ranked shaming is petty and contributes nothing to a discussion. Nice try though.

Betting someone will place poorly in ranked is it's own kind of arrogance. Maybe not rank shaming, but still a stupid and rude way to seek entertainment.

btw did u know air conditioning is sexist?

I don't care. You're clearly setting up another arrogant joke.

Since exactly 7 years I just play normals. Okay, there was no ranked back then yet, but I often hear "dun crie, itz normalz".

Funny thing is, since it's actually a normal game, not a private bot game, of course the rules apply there as well - and thus reports and bans. Just yesterday (!) I had a Rammus in a 3-premade that was a total asshole and proud of, he and his 2 premades ruined my game on my alternate account and they were like "It'z normalz, nuthing happenz" and simply reported all 3 for all 3 reasons (giving up, feeding, verbal bause) and it took only one game that I have been greeted with a "punished player" popup before I even got into the endgame tally screen. So, listen you fucks: "Da normalz" giving you "regular banz" that will fuck up your whole account including your "gret ranked skillz".
