What exactly are you personally gaining by messing around in ranked solo instead of normals? Do you just gain some sick pleasure out of actively making the game worse for the people that DO want to actually play serious games in ranked?

Man, some people are butthurt.

I fuck around in ranked because I have no distinction between ranked and normal, with the exception that I dick around more in normal so it's less likely that I'll have opponents that outclass random TL pickups and such.

As for dicking around later in "won games" it's because of complacency. This isn't some LoL-constrained phenomenon, and it's not a dbag phenomenon either, it's human nature. You're ahead, you feel comfortable enough to do something off the wall. Sometimes you pay for it. But whatever. The opportunity to have a 6000 gold lead and be able to buy a Gunblade is too tempting sometimes. And it's just one game anyways.

Edit:
Back when we tryharded 5rank I think most of our team also "fucked around" in solo ranked because it was the best way to testrun a concept or hero or whatever. Amazingly, normal games tend to be utterly garbage for actually giving something a good test. This usually means that we're trying some bizarro build or practicing a hero and not playing up to what our elo would suggest. It's also why I mentioned way back a year or so ago that solo queue is a crapshoot because you never know when that "high rated player" is checking something out, even if they're absolutely dead serious.

I don't understand why some people have this bitchy mentality when it comes to players playing a game and having fun with it rather than trying their hardest to make optimal plays all the time.

I'm a good player, I play hard, I play to win, I play tournaments, but LoL is still a game and I still wanna have fun with it. If I'm queueing up with friends and roflstomping, I'm going to do some crazy shit just to have fun and I don't understand why people gonna get all butthurt about pissing away a single game that was probably a ton of fun for everyone involved except the one guy who's still hung up about losing 12 elo.

You know, you could just tryhard in ranked and mess around in normals. Suddenly nobody has a reason to complain about dropping 12 elo.
Some people care about their elo, or at least they want to be informed that you are going to troll BEFORE you throw the game. It's not up to you to decide what other people should care about.

You could just mess around in ranked and tryhard in normals, it's not up to you to decide what other people should care about.

It wasn't me who decided that people care more about ranked elo and (a bit) less about normal games.
If someone is bothered by many other people being bothered by him trolling ranked games then that someone is well advised to change his attitude because changing the attitude of many other people is much harder to do than changing your own.

In other words: The majority is against trolling ranked games and you also are supposed to follow that Summoner's Code thingy which includes a no trolling guideline afaik. Either you follow the majority and the Summoner's Code or you deal with the consequences (QQ + possible ban).
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

we're talking premades here and probably normals at that. but what I'm saying is that it's fucking stupid to complain about your friends having a good time, going too far with their goofing off and ending up losing the game. Shikyo needs to stop dickriding Kerp because it's Kerp and start playing with people who won't piss away a lead if that's how he feels. different people play the game for different reasons and you can get mad about stuff in solo queue but getting mad and raging about premades is just stupid. Find a different premade if they don't have the necessary values for you to have a good time.

How did we get to bashing trolling in ranked when Shikyo's situation is almost certainly a normal? Or if it is ranked, he SAID it was a premade, so everyone knows each other.

Yes it's dumb to troll people you don't know in solo queue. But if you're premading its really not that hard to get everyone on the same page.

it's normals, we were playing vs SK nRated and I wanted to brag about beating him, I even went 11-3-26 that game but noo people have to ruin it all

EDIT: And those people do normally try, they just got so cocky because they thought we win no matter what and that's what pisses me off

I shouldn't have even mentioned Elo (this is probably what got us into trolling solo ranked, which is a completely separate matter), but I'm thinking of things in terms of my IRL friends + Utah/Bear/Turkey where we hate playing against unfun shit so we just spam ranked without caring about the Elo just so we can use bans. Besides, I just don't think 5 man normal vs. ranked changes the siituation at all here. In premade, if they're not on your page about what's important, ditch them and play with people who do.

P.S. Last 2 pages should be moved to Memorial QQ Therapy thread, sorry for blowing a stupid tangent up.

EDIT: TL;DR for Shikyo. Get the fuck over it, in the grand scheme of things, no one gives a flying fuck about whether you beat some pro in a normal.

Well yeah I'm not disagreeing with that. Might have gotten off track somewhere.

If it helps in any way, there's plans to introduce Normal Draft Pick so now you can try-hard and mess around in Normals without worrying about Elo.

Huh it was just 1 post to vent wasn't it? You guys are the ones starting a huge debate, I just don't understand why people can't keep playing properly until the end. That attitude also makes people lose games where they're losing, turnarounds happen more than you'd think if you just believe in yourself all the way.

You realize how silly it is to say that Kerp pissed away your win by screwing around when nrated was probably screwing around to begin with?

I don't ever see Normals being a good place to try something out.

When I want to play a new champion or try a new build.. I learn that champ by grinding out ranked games, not normal games.

Also, I believe(not 100% sure) you can get reported for trolling normal games, and even custom games. Idk if the tribunal makes that distinction, that's a huge problem as far as I'm concerned, since I should be able to go into normal and custom and do whatever I want.

I think I've been reported a couple times for Gangplank Jungle last 2 days in ranked, even though it's super good , I know ive been que dodged twice when locking in first pick GP and saying im gonna jungle.

It's really strange, half the games I play in hes banned, so people know hes improved, but half the games I play in everyone freaks out if someone takes him, and say lol GP pick.

Of course it is but have you ever lost a game where opponents have 3 inhibitors down and their nexus is below half hp? zz

Hm. You can get reported in any game mode (even Co-Op v AI) if you're ruining the gaming experience for others. The action taken will depend on what you did. The Tribunal is only a guide. Final punishment is determined by Customer Service so the Tribunal can always be overruled.

The way I see it is that Normals is where you test is some really random thing you thought of to see if it's even actually viable, and then once you have an idea how it should work you go to Ranked or something.

Why would you solo normal to practice something specific? Most of the time you won't even get the role you want--especially if its solo laning and the other 4 players all instalock solos.

yeah normal soloq is awful for practicing anything, when I practice solo on a new champ I do 3v5 vs AI because that way you always get to be at mid, other than that you should just play ranked as those games have proper roles almost always, unlike normal with 5 ad carries .
