Practice Tool Reset Suggestion/Bugs

Hello All,

I have a request/suggestion/frustration regarding the game reset function in the Practice Tool. I submitted this to riot and was advised to post on this forum.

I am a relatively new player and mainly play jungle. I am still trying to decide my champion pool, so I try out different junglers through free-to-play or purchases. A huge thing I do is practice their pathing... ALOT. I watch jungle guides on champs then practice their pathing and clear techniques. My problem derives from a change at some point where now, when you reset the game in the Practice tool, the game timer no longer resets among other things (Runes and items also do not reset).

This creates a very annoying problem, where I have to do a lot of math after a couple clears to figure out when I come out my first clear and to the scuttle or for a gank. For example, after a few clears and game resets, the game timer is now at 11 minutes, I force spawn jungle camps then wait for 11m 30s to start my clear. I finish at 14m12s. Now i have to turn both those times into seconds, subtract them from each other, and then add 1m29s (89s, intial jungle spawn time) to get an idea of how I did relevant to better players and identify why I am slower. On top of that, I notice runes like perfect timing and magical footwear do not reset either. I cant remember which but I know items I have seen item actives not resetting either. For some reason, the warding totem or oracle lens sometimes do not reset. Another weird thing I noticed is that sometimes the top scuttle does not spawn.

I do not remember this being the case as recently as this 2019 Fall, and it is very frustrating to not actually be able to reset the game. I actually have to quit and restart to get a fresh game time, items, runes etc. to get a feel for my timings. This is my perspective from jungling, but I am sure practicing laning and having magical footwear etc at level 1 when you are trying to work on csing is annoying. As well, trying to calculate how your csing is going at a certain time in the game would require some math in the middle of play.

Perhaps this was changed due to programming constrictions or it was unintentional, but I would appreciate any feedback on this. If anyone wants to add other oddities or bugs they have seen, hopefully riot will see this and work on a couple changes. I love the practice tool, it has made my life so much easier, and fixing these "bugs", would make the learning experience in LoL even better.

Thanks for your time, Anomander
