Normal Draft games blow

Naymliss··1 votes·487 views

It feels like normal games are more toxic. Here are the 2 things that really put me off from playing the mode and have been making me play ARAMs instead.

  1. People don't EVER surrender. I get not surrendering when there's actually something on the line, but when we have an afk and are getting smashed why don't you just throw in the towel and go next? EVEN IF we miraculously can make a comeback, it still means sitting through 15-20 more minutes of them toying with us and killing us over and over again. Oh yeah, and you get flamed for trying to surrender as well.
  2. Complaining about teammate's not picking to a comp. Alright, so i'm over here wanting to queue up for a nice jax or irelia game. I hover one of them just to see them get banned away by a teammate. They type in chat: "pick a tank", and if I pick the other bruiser I wanted to play, they'll turn toxic and do something drastic.

Have any other people experience this?

They dont surrender because this community has decided that surrendering at ANY point, Normal, ranked, or otherwise, Is a sign of WEAKNESS.

How DARE you admit that as hard as you played, the enemy team played better. I lost count how many times I heard (often as we are getting obliterated in a 25 v 2 massacre) "Dont surrender, Never surrender. Surrendering is for weaklings and pu$$ies" I even has a teammate who out and out said "I will report anyone who surrenders for giving up" after we just finished losing mid base tower (last base tower to fall)

I get sick and tired of these kids who think they are the "best player ever on league" so they will hold thier team hostage, make them miserable, and then report them for not treating an already lost match like its an LCS World final.

And as for the whole "meta" thing, its the reason I dont play meta. Not because I am against it. I will try it now and then. BUT my problem is that its become sort of a Fundamentalist CULT. Members of this Cult will stop thinking for themselves and ONLY play how the meta 'allows' them to play. Only build what the meta has deemed 'acceptable' Anyone trying a build of thier own? having a different perspective on a scenario, They are automatically labeled 'trolls' or 'greifers' NOT because they are trolling, but because they DARE go against what the meta has dictated you are "supposed to" play, how you are "supposed to" build.

As I said, I hate the meta because it has become a rabid cult that will beat you over the head with thier doctrine of what characters you are -allowed- to play and in what lane. What items they will -allow- you to build in line with the current meta. The freedom to express your own unique playstyle or build path? thats not allowed. HOW DARE YOU THINK FOR YOURSELF! That is why I hate the meta. And always will. Its not the meta itself, its the cult who beat players over the head with it for not playing "properly"

giving up is reportable and when trying to get out of honor 0 i can't afford a single report no matter what. So never surrender, that and i play with my own honor of finishing something to the end not just giving up when it gets tough

When I see "not just giving up when it gets tough" being used to describe A NORMAL DRAFT MATCH in which the enemy team can literally be waiting for you to respawn to kill you in fountain, I start to wonder. What do you think is on the line? For someone who doesn't have 24 hours of free time, wasting that 25+ extra minutes not enjoying something is kind of ridiculous

Interesting, you feel they should surrender because you are not enjoying yourself. What if the person voting no is having fun?

You need to realize everyone has thier own idea of what is fun, and no matter how hard you try, you will have a hard time to force your ideas on a random internet stranger.

Some people pay big $$ for letting someone else hit them with a horse crop. Who am I to judge what someone likes or dislikes.

If they're locking me in a 70 minute 4v5 slaughter i'm going to judge them

Some people enjoy the challenge of trying to overcome the "impossible ".

Some people actually want to learn how to play from behind. You can't learn by not trying.

Some people get one game a night because time is limited and a surrender means less play time.

Besides, if the enemy is waiting for you at your fountain, you won't survive another 25+ minutes.....and if you do, then you played a great game.

i only play a couple games a night and i don't like losing and if they are destroying me and killing me over and over again il take it like a man and wait till they finish me that is all ur time wasted is not my problem if i am enjoying myself while feeding because i do enjoy doing it so the rare instance when it's ok is just so much fun for me.
