It will take many long years to fix the Co-Op battles

because we aren't even willing to take the first step. These are far from what they were designed to do, and far from where they started. However, I have brought up a couple of easy to fix issues and got knocked out of the forum. The notion that we have players who abuse these games just to show how good they are at beating bots.....which has nothing to do with practicing (and nothing to do with my previous topics).

So, I will now just make general statements. The concept of using Co-Op for training purposes is gone. Fully destroyed. When new players come here to train, instead they will find other titles due to the degradation of the Co-Op fights. There is no realistic way to 'practice' there anymore.

It is failures such as this which, in the long run, see games go under. Lack of new players is the result due to poor practice arenas. I will say this that, if I were just now learning the game, I would go elsewhere. Since I can handle the ugly playing Co-Op, all I can do is alert the Community that these training arenas are at risk of losing new players.

Since I have posted a couple of issues, I am prohibited to post them within this topic, thus you now have to just guess at the many things which are in trouble there. try playing there with the mindset of being brand new to the game. If you can do that, you will see the problems as they are clear in nearly every battle.

I just hope that Riot will realize long before the drain occurs that their practice arenas have serious issues.

P.S. Since I am prohibited from posting anything of substance, I see no reason for me to follow this vague thread. However, the Co-Op fights are a problem, make no mistake, and it affects how many new players come into the game.

General practice can be done in norms, specific things like CS or champion mechanics can be done in the practice tool or against a friend in a custom. Co-op is really just there to make the newest of players aware of the most basic things (turrets and structures, minions, champions, etc). It's not a great system, but unless you have an actual suggestion, that's what's available.

What?

And what do you mean prohibited from posting anything of substance?

I do co-op prior to ranked or any kinds of game to get ready (dodging skills and stuff) Also, it boosts my confidence as I can kill as many as bots I want before actual games. It is my jinx now that if I don't play bots I lose.
