User blog comment:Yaya123yaya/The Haf-Assed Attitude In Normals/@comment-27832365-20160220070053

Created an account just to comment on that - yes, the issue of treating normals like smth insignificant does exist, and it's annoying as heck. An example of my own - recently I wanted to train Anivia in normals, everything went fine, wrecked Talon in lane, was pleased with myself, yadda-yadda. And we could've finished any moment, but Fiora and Udyr just kept running around the map, trying to 1v5 and doing other silly stuff (and I can't do much alone as an immobile mage). When I begged them to end, I got smth like "I play normals only for kills, it's not ranked", so we didn't group, the other team came back and we lost - lost an hour-long game cuz some people can't play bots or Counter-Strike to satisfy their bloodlust (this FPS mentality cost me a ranked match in the past, urgh, and there also was a Fiora like that).

My personal experience aside, it happens all the time. "It's just normals", "No big deal, surr 20", "Need to go in 5, please end now", someone doesn't grasp the notion that not everyone plays ranked on a regular basis - some people prefer normals and dislike the tension of ranked games; but it seems like a certain kind of folk fervently believes in "if you're playing chess with another amateur, they can curse at you or leave the game at any time for no particular reason, so play international tournaments if you want to enjoy a good game". Sigh, I wish there was a way to do something about these people...

In any case, thanks for bringing this up - and good luck in your future games!
