Friendly reminder to Riot to get the practice tool updated sometime

The most specific and high-priority want would definitely have to be the ability to swap runes reforged Pages or edit Pages even without having to close out an entire game. At the most maybe just a soft reset of the game like if you clicked the button. I know for a fact I'm not the only one who wants this and I would have to say that it's almost so high on the list I would want you to put it above champs and reworks, not that you ever would I'm just saying this sort of improvement to the practice to a would probably make it more useful. The only reason I never mentioned getting runes and masteries working with them in the first place is because you guys already announced you would be working on them sometime soon

I would also like something that could allow the dummies to attack you. It's hard to practice various defense things like rammus Shield power with a thornmail versus without or whether or not you recover your health at a decent amount of time. As of right now you basically have to spawn a dragon or a baron and fight one of them. That's not a terrible option it's just I'd rather have something more controllable.

While also on the topic of dummies, being able to set their armor and Mr would be nice. Besides the reworked sejuani not many characters actually consistently stay at 100 armor or Mr unless they specifically built all tank and are already a tanky type champion. If not able to make them customized, an alternative idea would be to have consider multiple dummies. Maybe a gigantic Mundo shaped dummy that has lots of Tanky stats and make the Teemo dummy squishier? That could also fit in with my above point about making the dummies attack because one could attack with a p and one could attack with ad

I'm sure there's more and that i might be alone on the dummies thing but since you guys already said you don't ever plan to allow us to bring a friend into the practice tool I would like it if it was at least something worth using.

  1. Allow me to switch champion in-game.

  2. Allow me to switch runes in-game.

  3. Allow me to switch summoner spells in-game.

  4. Allow me to add more bots to the enemy team, allow me to add bots to my team and allow me to add friends to either team.

  5. Add a "suicide" button for when you want to test Sion's or Kog'maw's damage after they die.

  6. Allow me to spawn Rift Herald.

  7. Allow me to spawn Baron Nashor.

  8. Allow me to change the stats on the allied and enemy dummies.

  9. Allow me to change the map to something else other than Summoner's Rift.

This is just a few of the changes I want to see happening to the practice tool.

You can already reset the game with one of the buttons. I think it's on the second page with the dragon spawner.

The other things are certainly good, though. Like I was thinking q Max on Wukong would maximize my burst damage when I realized that the dummy had 100 armor.

He was saying that it would be acceptable if swapping runes reset it as long as you didn't have to load in again.

Stacking items and passive ablities instatly would be nice. Like item 3070 items Nasus Q Sion W.

I really want others to be able to practice with. Sometimes you want to practice something like a shurima shuffle in lane but it doesn't do you much good if the other player is a stupid pole in the ground that doesn't do anything.

With what I've heard about how this game is coded and built, they'd have to rewrite the whole game to do that.

And they probably wont because big streaming events make more money than their playing playerbase.

Also, having allied dummies and enemy dummies health be variable, so you can test out executes and healing numbers on champs who have those. Not being able to see how much a Soraka w does full ap vs full hsp % is annoying.
