I'm making this thread hoping that some higher ELO players will respond, because I would be interested in hearing what they would say.
I guess for me normals will usually have one team that picks standard/strong meta picks and one team will pick totally random / troll picks. (Not saying these can't be strong picks) That or one team might even mess up their picks, like by picking two mids or not having a support. Lol happens amirite.
Also I will generally play whatever role I feel like in normals cause it's not ranked. Can be fun or I end up feeding lol....
Another question is if you ever go into normals solo or if you always use the buddy system!
There's still an ELO system for normals right? is it the same as your ranked ELO or is it a different one?
... sorry noob questions... tell me if i'm not positing in the right place

I pick support Galio or Kalista and terror my teammates massively, then they carry me to victory. I never solo.

What division are you in ranked? Do you think players in normal are worse or better than when you play ranked?
Support galio sounds fun tho! hahah

the more normals you play the more it resembles ranked,
generally speaking the people who percive normals as a clown shoes zone have a corresponding mmr, up until players they can't outplay with garbage.

I *was* plat iv. I think my normals opponents are a lot better about 30% of the time, and same the other 70% of the time.
Support galio is super dumb, he runs out of mana too fast in lane and has little to no utility outside of ult.

I haven't played normals in forever.
My main's normal MMR is somewhere around the high gold-low plat range for the most part, aka stomps.
My smurf had MMR somewhere around high diamond, before I transitioned to solely playing ranked.

define "high" elo.
I'm gold 1, most of my gold 1 matches have me paired up with plat 3 guys, but i troll so fucking much in normals (shit like akali jungle, or fiddle mid) I'm always playing with silver 2 and silver 3 players.

I play with "fun police". It's kinda why I have ~2.6K normal wins.
Always 5 stack, queues can take a while at odd hours but teams are always competent.

Haven't played a normal games for 1,5 year. No friends to play premade 5's :\

My draft normal MMR is pretty high, so its just like ranked queues, gotten worse recently because of ranked banned players being forced to play normal draft

What's the "fun police".

I think it means, they make sure the game is being played for fun, not for tryharding ?

haha, it's actually the opposite. It's a bunch of well known, high elo normal guys who are known to tryhard and 5 stack with other familiar names. Ehomda is probably the most famous one. Gandhisauce (used to post here on TL) also plays in the same group.
"fun police" refers to the fact that these guys limit, or police, the amount of fun for other players who blind normal queue. I think DkBnet, one of the best ADCs in the group, has like 4K wins and is like +1500 wins over losses.

Where ranked pisses me off, normals make me facepalm.
If I don't play ranked I play with friends 90% of the time I guess? And they don't play ranked (they actually play ARAM most of the time so the normal is kind of rare for them) so they have no clue what to do and we lose horribly because teamcoherence or synergy is completely lacking.
I try to shrug it off, but I'm a very competitive person so unless I stomp or it's an exciting game, it's a lose lose (stomps are just fun because you get to sit in their base at 20 minutes and it becomes some sort of game of who can stay alive the longest or how many times can you ace the enemy team before you get aced or something like that)

I'm so glad this group exists, just being really good and going and stomping in normals XD

For me, even though I'm silver, I still normally go 10-0 in normals.

This thread reminds me of a time where I played bugged Azir in a normal with Neo and got rekt because of it, Neo was like "I'm sorry, I play my normals pretty tryhard, I guess that's not for everybody :/" and then leaves lol
Then like a month later I'm playing another normal and Neo is feeding as support Fizz LOL

I like how your story leaves out that I locked in Fizz first but some other guy also picks mid and I decide to play nice and go support instead.
I wouldn't pick support Fizz willingly, thanks.
