[quote=Xaioli]@The_Nameless_Bard That is why Normal games are a joke. I'm sorry to say it, but it's honestly true. The power to ban champions in ranked really brings out the skill factor. Of course, every game is going to have it's "Flavor of the Month", or "IMBA Champions". In normals, anyone can pick those FOTM, or IMBA champs. It's apparent to everyone, and no one likes them until Riot fixes them. Thats why Ranked is more challenging and more serious to me. Also, you can't have duplicate champions. For example, you can't have two Alistars, or two Vaynes. No double Irelias, and so on. :)[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice][quote=Booshido] This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the ....elo [/quote] I see what u did there.[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]I was the first one to talk about that. BOOSHIDO REAL COPIER[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]=/ the fact that I am basically required to play ranked games to get an accurate ELO is total bullshit[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Xai, you say you don't gain much from normals, correct? If you play, you learn more about the game, and that is gaining something right? I mean, it IS a game and I play for fun, I don't really expect a life-changing learning euphoria experience from it o_O[/quote]

I have to agree.[/quote]

[quote=nomad93]@wrath something i dont understand, you say you never played rank but here you are talking about ranked ELO thats like saying having gay sex feels good and you've never had gay sex[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]I feel like you don't learn much from normals compared to ranked games. Why? People troll in normals. It's a given fact. What statistically do you gain from playing Normal games? +Win, +Loss, + Leave and +IP. That's it. When compared to Ranked Games, you +Win, +Loss, +Leave, +IP, +Tangible Rank Points (ELO) that places you onto a world wide board. People tryhard in ranked, btw :). More fierce competition, much more to learn. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @The_Nameless_Bard I'm sorry but it's true. The mindset of most of the LoL community is Normals are for trolling, ranked is for srsbsness. From what I posted above, it's kinda true if you think about it. People play this game for fun/to make their stats look good. Normals just don't simply provide that much anymore. This is coming from a normal queue player with a 200 Win Spread under his belt. After the 50+ win margin anymore, I just feel like I'm not learning anymore. People are just giving up and just messing around. Moving onto ranked was the best thing for me, especially if I'm trying to improve/find my true elo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Wrath - Now, I told you I wouldn't respond to you, but I'll make one exception. Xai, you say you don't gain much from normals, correct? [b]To an extent.[/b] If you play, you learn more about the game, and that is gaining something right? [b]Again, to an extent. People troll in normals, people try in ranked. You learn things from ranked because people actually try. They put up a challenge. In ranked, you actually have something to lose. In normals, it's just like, meh.[/b] I mean, it IS a game and I play for fun, I don't really expect a life-changing learning euphoria experience from it o_O [b]This game is for fun. But you play it to improve also (99% of the playerbase do at least). You play to get better. I'm sure you don't want to be a noob forever. Of course not. People in normals don't try anymore. People in ranked do try. If you want to make an effort to find your 'true elo', and to learn, play ranked. People actually try.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Just played a ranked game...not significantly different than a real game...I'll prolly do it again, but I think a team ranked would have been better than solo...[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]@nomad [quote=wRAthoFVuLK] [quote=DocSmoothJew] Stop acting like I'm crying because I'm stuck at a shitty Elo rating. I'm speaking about Elo on a theoretical level. If you can't come up with anything better than "low Elo means you suck, period." then just move along to another discussion. I have yet to see any argument that refutes my point that "Elo is a rating for one person in a team game". Give me one good reason that it's okay and I'll listen to you. Just stop with your blind flaming though. [/quote] [/quote] read, I mentioned this already previously... and ok Xai I guess you are right about that, I might try ranked again when S2 starts. I'm still not a fan of the Elo system for solo though x_x[/quote]
