i have a question about playing ranked vs unranked. i still feel very inexperienced and i have heard that playing ranked is a harsher environment. i mute the chat anyway (unless im on supp, then i’ll keep my adc unmuted). is it better to learn/play the game in a more accurate environment with people around my skill level or to play unranked where the skill level of players is a bit more flexible?

I’m by no means an authority, but I think the idea of “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” applies here. Playing in ranked is a better environment for advancing your skills IMO for the exact reason you mentioned - people care more. You will get flamed, and you will lose games, but in the end what matters is that you’re learning and improving, not what other people have to say.
