Chill out dude, It's just norms!

Hey I'm Durytoes and I want to talk about a recurring incident. You've probably played norms to test a champion or practice them. Maybe you play something that isn't meta but seems to work.

(I'm a low elo player and I'm only silver 3)

Imagine this, you're in a game and youre mid laner. Dominating the other laner in cs, kills, and you've roamed to both bot and top! You're already 40 minutes in and the Soraka jungler keeps on dying! (no flame towards junglers) You ask them to play serious because you want to win, but they hit you with the infamous line: "Dude chill, its just norms"

Yeah I get it! It's just norms! But come on man, do you really play 30 minutes to an hour just to lose? Yeah its just norms! you don't lose anything! But do you really just play to waste peoples' time? What's the point? Do you really just play to lose?

I only say "chill it's just a norms" when people flame hardcore. I'll try my best but I might be trying a new champ and testing the limits I can go with them. If you want people who are always on top of their game and playing their mains, you'll probably want to head to ranked.

Your example needs more context as well, why is your jungler always dying? Are they walking around with no vision, going in 1v5, or are they messing around and just dying for shits and giggles? That would change my response.

Yeah I really hate it when people say that shit but it's usually just an excuse for terrible play.
