My issue doesn't lie within ranked though, I understand the concept behind it, I'm trying to point out every other gametype that's not ranked; since that's where the problems come from
you can't do a normals or a new game type with friends and mess around, everyone else makes it feel like ranked, is essentially what I'm trying to say
its like there win to loss ratio matters or something
its pop off day boys DONT STOP NEVER STOP
i see people who'd rather take pd on lucian third item, i'd much rather have rfc. what instances do you take pd? i don't think he needs dueling potential, he's already a monster
also yeah anyone in this thread that plays league for fun confuses me, mobas aren't fun to play casually, being bad at it is painfully boring.

I enjoy playing League with people in the same room, followed by with people I know, followed by solo.
I don't feel the need to validate my skill in ranked, since I prefer to validate it in a game, rather than with a title. I've played more than a few high diamond players, and several low diamond/high plat players at my university's club, and I can go even with them, and frequently beat them, in lane, yet I've never risen past silver rank because I don't enjoy the environment of ranked, so I never bother to dedicate the time necessary to rise in the ranks. And, in the near future, I don't plan on trying to change that.
Besides, it's infinitely more amusing to see people obsessed with rank get flabbergasted when they get wiped by an unranked pleb.
I normally take Phantom Dancer most of the time unless I want to farm for most of the game I take Shiv and I only take Runann's on Lucian when I'm bored. I haven't tried RFC in a while as Phantom Dancer seems better in my eyes overall as it gives more attack speed, the passive is better and it's 50 gold less.
so basically you didn't answer my question at all, and it doesn't seem like you know the answer.
but yeah, people in low elo don't understand laning as much as you think. generally i say people can't visualize how trades will go and who wins what under certain circumstances. people never figure out where the jungler is and often don't manage cs well.
Unless you like, don't play ranked AT ALL, I just refuse to believe that it's a possibility for a silver tier player to win against Diamond tier player in a lane that he actually plays. That just doesn't make any sense, Oracle.
