When i play normals I pull out whatever champion i feel like playing and i end up playing pretty decent but then i go into ranked and I play like it's my first time with that champion I don't understand I play even smarter in ranked than i do in normals which is the most confusing part as to why i just start playing so bad in ranked compared to normals.
Tilomentry2 votesIt's because people screw around less in ranked. In normals, people will try out champions for the first time and experiment around a little. In ranked, people will play champions that they are experienced with and know how to work the matchups with.
It's likely that in normals, the people you play against are making awful mistakes and you capatilize on them and just don't see your own. In ranked, people stop making those mistakes but you continue to do so.
F33dMeKills1 votesIt's the most confusing part as to why... why what?
And it doesn't make sense... because if you play smarter in ranked than you do in normals, yet you do bad... playing smart means you shouldn't be doing bad in ranked. Oxymoron.
Although smarty aside, ranked is suppose to be different from normal due to different people and their own determination.
2000boxes1 votesbut it's true i play smarter in ranked in ranked i ward more, i chase less, i farm better, and i roam more succesfully.
F33dMeKills1 votesGood lord, you must be the embodiment of knowledge lol.
Yotzin1 votesRanked is a lot harder than normals. People make less mistakes depending on their skill.
Oolious121 votesIf you play well in normals, why change your play style when going into ranked? Just relax and keep your farm up and you should do just fine.
A Miss Fortune1 votesPersonally I play better in Ranked. I think it has to do with how well someone works under pressure or something?
In Normals It's more like "If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose." and in Ranked It's like "oh god if i lose another game im going back to bronze pls rito help". I work well with more pressure than I do without pressure. I think majority people work better without pressure on them, so when it comes to Ranked it can be a bit more difficult than normal.
2000boxes1 votesi don't think pressure is the problem since my school golf team calls me a clutch player.
A Miss Fortune1 votesGolf is pretty intense man
2000boxes1 votesi agree with this in other sports when you lose it's the team that could have played better in gold if the team loses it's the fault of whoever has the worst score because the team score is all the scores added up together.
SavingPirateRyan1 votesIt's not you. In normals you get people who are just chilling with friends or experimenting. In ranked everyone is at their best.
Raemnant1 votesSorry to say but most of this information isn't entirely correct. There are plenty of ppl who play ranked and are not 100% in it to win it. Most people play ranked because they believe that is the default was the game is meant to be played, and normal are for scrubs. Its very true. There are plenty of people in ranked who are very chill, plenty of people who rage, plenty who chase, plenty who feed
Basically, there are plenty of every kind of player in ranked, just as in normals. There really isnt much difference, until you get into plat and higher. Even then there are plenty of trolls. And I dont mean the usual game throwing trolls(But there are plenty of those) but I mean people who derp around often enough, like normal players
2000boxes1 votesso you're saying i just need to get lucky with what the system matches me up with
Raemnant1 votesYes, pretty much. I have seen people solo carry their way through bronze>silver>gold>plat in a challenge, but those people have all been long time vets and professionals. But most of the time, you're really just rolling the dice to see which team takes it more seriously than the other.
2000boxes1 votesi got out of bronze V - III with wukong but then i needed help so i got my friend who is the around the same rank as me and we've been duo'ing but now he's grounded so i am in a struggle
Raemnant1 votesHave you been trying to play solo? Is that where you're having issues?
2000boxes1 votesyes :( the people i'm playing with are meanies and keep yelling at me and ignore the things they do wrong and if they do notice they did something wrong they blame me anyways because i'm usually the support
Raemnant1 votesSome of the best advice one could give is to just ignore and mute people who are toxic. Proper pinging is enough in terms of basic communication. I feel you though, I'm a support main, and I get a lot of uneeded flak as well. Too many people think this game is Team Deathmatch and if you don't have more kills than deaths, they see you as useless. I cant tell you how many times I try and give advice and someone scoffs at me "Wow the 0/6 support is trying to tell ME what to do, GG" Its so stupid
2000boxes1 votesthat's what i get told all the time and that's when i start crying because if i take the kills the adc will get mad if i don't take the kills the team will get mad anyways T_T
Yummy Sashimi1 votesI sense a bait. What OP tried to say has nothing to do with "ranked seems different to me". All I see is someone complaining about having a bad team, but in a different way, at least that's where the replies lead to.
2000boxes1 votesyou're mean i didn't complain about my team the comments just said it is likely the people i'm playing with i'm just trying to find out why i can play good in normals but then really bad in ranked
Raemnant1 votesYou replied to someone earlier about pressure, and you said you don't think pressure is the case, but maybe it is. LoL is very different from Golf, and at least in Golf, you're playing in a familiar setting where you know people. Here its just you versus 9 strangers, and there's a giant textbook of knowledge that your brain hasn't soaked up yet. And Ranked is where that knowledge is really needed. It's a possibility
2000boxes1 voteshmm this seems like something that i should look into welp time to do what i always do when i need to find answers spend 1 hour stream hunting 10 hours reading online guides and a few days playing team builder
RyzeRework1 votesi mean i sucesfully go lissandra jungle in norms and go 11-2-12 or something like that if i did that in ranked they would know how to shut me down
