I think my ranked games have weirder team comps than my normal games sometimes. Just played one as Fiddle support where our only tanky person was Irelia. We just out-damaged them and fiddle fear was enough to stop any initiation.
I look at it as, bots are where you try the really, really weird things before bringing them to a normal (Jungle Ezreal), normals are for trying new things in a decent environment, and draft and ranked are play to win.
I also don't really run into the meta freaks you guys do. Everyone just kinda falls into each role with few issues, with bot ending up with a few weird pairs every 5 games or so. No one complains though and I usually win those games because the people know how to play their champs.
I prefer for people to at least try in blind picks. I'm playing it because I want to win, not because I want someone to dick around with jungle heimerdinger. Personally if you are going to do lolzy things that aren't really going to work I say do it with friends. I don't mind unconventional lanes or anything, but if you are going to do something completely bonkers, like jungle heimer, do it with people you know, so if/when it goes horribly wrong you didn't ruin someone else's game. Though about that jungle hiemer, I was doing 3's with my friend and somehow we got jungle hiemer on our team. After the game I of course stalked his profile and it turns out he was on the rank 6 3v3 team on the NA ladder. Sometimes things make no sense. I guess for people that are that high normals are just a way to mess around, idk.
But to answer your question better, I'm not really. It's annoying to see people be omg talon mid lane you're not ap scrub and stuff, but I like to win. I understand if they are being serious mode in ranked pick, since it's ranked and all. So I guess people should try to do well in blinds, but they don't need to be super serious.
I hate when people take those extremely seriously. I use blind pick for practice and practice only. Whenever I see people take it seriously I just facepalm.

Yeah I kind of look at normals like that because honestly I rarely play them and if I do it's because I'm practicing a champion or my friends don't want to play ranked and I just tag along.
Hey everyone
The Top Fails today are really epic fails.
So I guess I'll dodge every game with a Lee in it.
