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. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

I hate it when I feel like try-harding to learn something and then get paired with a pre-made and I have to carry them because they troll me and then they just surrender. Zzzz. | ||

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. u r fk noob. Play to win, nothing less !!! Edit: wow, you fgts actually went on for two pages about a Shikyo rant. When will you TL noobs ever learn... | ||

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. | ||
