User blog comment:Nhan-Fiction/A Casual Attitude Waters Down Ranked Play/@comment-184.155.119.99-20130308232108

My argument with this is, I play ranked sometimes because people are NICER in my experience. I'll admit to being a casual player of Ranked, though not as casual as to go and try brand new things in ranked, and I do more than fine. I never weigh a team down, I never cause anyone unneeded stress, unless they are being TOO nitpicky (Try, I can't make it in time for something they started without me cause my character is much slower in general, and they yell at me, they make a stupid call, I follow it, I get blamed, I initiate as tank, no one comes when they looked prepped to). So no, casual players are not the bane of ranked games. Your 'casual' players seem more like they should REALLY try normals more, but sometimes casual players are easier to work with then hardcore ranked players. Or the other option, TROLLS.
