How is it any different than soloq then?Isn't it the same thing if people tryhard?Or is it just smurfing but on the same account?

I can see why ranked 5s is better but saying normal is better practice than ranked is simply wrong.

Main reason people play more soloq than ranked 5s is time restraints.

I just want to be able to play with whatever friends of mine are on without being restricted to needing exactly 5 if we made a ranked team, which is ignoring the fact that the skill variance within my group of friends would make ranked 5s somewhat disastrous. Also duo q restrictions wouldn't allow me to play ranked with my bronze friends now anyway so there is that.

idk I guess I could play ranked in the rare situation where I do play alone but my normal mmr is really accurate for me when I do play solo so I really don't see any need to do that outside of doing my 10 placements every year to get the gold ranked rewards.

and yes if you are wondering I tryhard every game because winning to me, is fun.

i'm saying normals are just as good as ranked to me. because i don't get a useful advantage from playing ranked toward improving, so playing normals get me a faster matchmaking service, and thus less time invested to improve at the same rate.

Some people, like myself, find normals a completely fucking useless exercise. Its the exact same thing as ranked but you have nothing to show for it.
