"It's only (insert nonranked gamemode here), why does it matter?"

It doesn't matter what gamemode it is, Draft pick, blind pick, ARAM, Bot games, the RGM of the week, we've all seen someone say this.

While sure, normals is a good place to test champs and champ builds, it doesn't mean you can just be a jerk. I don't care if it's even a bot game, being a nuisance to your other teammates by feeding, ping spamming, being offensive and aggressive, etc. it's completely unwarranted and frankly I will report you.

There's no reason to get too mad over a non-ranked game, as long as the guy is still willing to win

I quit the game when people started using the "its only flex" excuse when they started to suck. Some people just don't want to be competitive.

"it's only a game" is what I get in both ranked a lot.

I've never said this myself but there have been people who've said it in my defense for all the weird stuff I try. It shouldn't really be an issue as long as the person the phrase is applied to is making an effort to win, especially so if whatever they are doing is in an attempt to learn or create a more effective way of winning.

It's perfectly fine to do cheese picks, just as long as you're still trying to win through any methods

In reality, lol is a game, it doesn't matter ranked or otherwise. But people should still try their best to win and pretend it matters regardless of the game mode.

And then their's the other side of the coin where I want to play anivia bot or anivia top but some piece of shhhhhhhhhhhouflette starts flaming me. While you want to you it doesn't mean you can be a jerk. I don't care if it's ranked (DON'T YOU HIT THAT DOWNVOTE BUTTON YET YOU INFIDILE :D) sometimes I have a certain way of building that might not be as meta as other things but it works better for me than the meta build. Like the time I went through my Iceborn Fiora phase (das shizz was dope until I just got sick of using fiora).

There's two sides to this coin in my opinion.

You should always be trying your best to win in the game. Troll picks or building something that doesn't make any sense ruins the game for not just your team but sometimes the other team as well. (I don't find curb stomping an enemy team due to d/c or troll any fun). But those who rage abusively about someone trying something new or just having a bad game need to relax. It IS just a game.

If you want to play some really weird shit, find a group of friends to make a match with.

Hey, as long as they don't completely troll and int feed I couldn't care less what they do in norms. They don't have to try their best, just try not to lose. I believe that the most important thing in a normal game mode is to have fun and try not to ruin everyone else's while your at it.(except in ARAMs, you can do whatever you want in there cuz I am not touching that trash mode with a 10 foot pole)

Aram: it's just an aram brah XD Normal: it's just a normal brah XD RGM: it's just a <rgm name here> brah XD Ranked: it is only game, why do you heff to be mad? :^)

As soon as the game you're sweating blood to carry starts to become unwinnable because they trolled all game long:

OMGF REPORT THIS TOXIC PIECE OF SHIT JUNGLER NOOB REPORT STFU XD MEME FUCK YOU NOOB REPORT I DESERVE CHALLENJOUR MY TEAM IS HOLDING ME BACK DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO NOOB YOU'RE <insert score or other data that's irrelevant to the point he's trying to make> NOOB TOXIC OMGF REPORT <player> NOOB

Aside that i only consider "serious" modes the summoner's rift games and i honestly don't give a shit about the rest...

Why. Dear retarded community of league of legends, why are you like this?

Extra credit: dear bronzetards, this game is mathematically structured that a mistake punishes you more than a good action rewards you, and yes, not doing stuff falls under the "mistake" category, this is a game that can legit lose by itself if you don't know how to play it, it's pretty simple once you learned it, and yet you refuse to learn but at the same time you want to win despite trying to intentionally lose. And the retarded company that manages this game pampers and empowers you. Why. It's not season 3 anymore where informations were scarce and just by knowing how to right click you were automatically a god at league. The internet is oozing with informations right now, yet you refuse to access them. Why.

Not counting all the pieces of shit and underaged brats that play this game not for the game's sake but rather to vent their frustrations online on other people because they're powerless losers in real life and they feel protected since they know riot is a SJW company and has their backs. I'm talking about the few, legit, remaining players.
