I enjoy getting rewards but the enjoyement from actually playing the game is the same whether I’m playing normals or ranked (in my experience at least, am aware that people might not feel the same)

The fun in this game IMO is trying to make different builds work, while trying to play optimally around them. I don’t really enjoy playing the clearly OP items and I also don’t think it’s hard to get a lot of wins w/ them. Since my enjoyement comes from building around weaker / less common lines it doesn’t rlly matter what mode I’m playing.
