In my eyes:

Normal Blind Pick anything goes. Team comp doesn't matter and I don't care if my team feeds. Do it for teh lulz.

Normal Draft Pick I'm trying to practice for ranked here so I try my best to win. I expect teammates to pick their chars based on what the team needs. If you want to instalock go play blind pick.

Ranked: It's on G

I think normal games are for those certain players who wanna tell everyone what they are doing wrong, or just to enjoy the game without being yelled at for 40 minutes, sometimes.

Like other guy said, normal and ranked are the same, but you can see your ranked elo and stats. Is like "gearscore" from wow.

Blind pick: trolls and 3/5 times the enemy or you team are premade.
Draft pick: people try to win, they follow the meta, less troll, you still can be placed in or against a 4man premade but w/e

Why i dont play ranked? because <1200 zone remember me when i was lvl 10-15.

Normals are for trying new strats out as well as honing skills - It's pointless trying a new build (like spellvamp/semi-tanky ap mundo) unless I'm going to go up against players of a good skill level.

Most of the time I practise AD carries in normals, people trying out new, sometimes bad builds and feeding lots helps me when I'm playing a stable champ - I aim to carry my team and win.

Ever since late last year when I started trying to win in normals, my normal ELO (aka my wins/losses) has skyrocketed, and now every normal game I play has support AD bot/jungler/good champs. After mundo got buffed and I joined a normal Q and claimed "Ap top" after instalocking mundo, a dude on my team asked "Who's dodging" and dodged 2 seconds later lol.

I think you are confused about those "tryhards." No matter if it is ranked or normal you should try to win every game, if you aren't, what's the point? To troll? To be honest, if you go into a normal game and expect to troll in it to blow off steam from the last 6 ranked games you lost, that's exactly what you are, a loser. Trying to win every game doesn't mean you play your best hero, it means you pick someone you honestly want to play, that fits the team composition and you try your best. That is all. Simple as that.

I always play to win, but in normals I don't mind going double ap, or no jungler, or weird builds, or what have you. Its a place to have fun and not worry about hard core try hard beast mode.
