im trying to get better at the game and normals are way to easy but how am i suppose to get good at champions if the only way to get real practice in is to play ranked? i wanted to test to see what i can play in norms that arent good and be sucessfull last game i played lissandra jungle and went 11/2/15 is there a better way to pratice?
You could always make a smurf, it helped me become better. Plus if you get it to level 30 then you can just play ranked and practice on it so that your "main" account doesn't have bad ranked stats.
Just keep doing unranked until you're comfortable with what you're practicing. Don't take it in to ranked with the typical mindset of Tryndamere's "hurrdurr instalock top ignore everyone in pregame chat". If you can't get your jungle Lissandra then don't run it. No point in screwing your team over.
Two options: Grind some normal games to bring up your normals mmr (it sounds like maybe you improved playing ranked and now your ranked mmr is so much higher than your normals mmr that you can play anything and do well), or practice in ranked and just toss stuff out quickly if it doesn't fit your play style. Personally, I can jump on most tanky utility champs and do okay w/ them after at most 3-5 games, but I'm at least a tier down from my current rank when it comes to assassin skill bc I don't know how to play them in general as well as I do tanks and stuff. Maybe it takes more games w/ mechanically difficult champs bc it isn't just about learning their power spikes and playing the role well in team fights, bu that would be my suggestion based on what you said.
