Playing ranked is for people who want to play serious and stuff that actually works in the current meta. People who don't want to see an AD TF at botlane, A jungle Gragas, A Janna mid. These things work to some extent in normals.

In ranked not so much. That's allso why elo hell even exists and is so frustrating. You expect people to play seriously because it's ranked, yet they keep on picking that darn Karthus jungle for the trolls. Sure all examples work, but not as good as the champions made for those roles, or how much better they themselves would work in their own roles.
