Time Trials

I've made more than my fair share of smurfs. But I don't do it to stomp on inexperienced players in normals to boost my inflated ego Draven . In fact, I dislike doing that, and people that do it. So I result to spamming bot games to level up my smurf as fast as possible. I hate grinding though, it's the worst for me. Always has been in every game I've ever played. So to keep myself from going insane I would time myself and try to beat my time each game I played. It was and is addictively fun. My fastest game was with my brother clocking in at 9:57 I think it was. We went Diana/Heimer top. It took us 7 or 8 games to get under the 10 minute mark.

  My point is Riot should make a game mode called Time Trials (kind of like in Mario Kart) where you compete to get the fastest time possible in bots. One for Intermediate and one for beginner. There could also be solo and dynamic ladders too. The high scores would be posted on a highscore ladder thing on the website. It could be a global ladder or a region ladder. 

  This would be a great addition to league because it could take some stress off of the frankly terrible ranked system that is in place right now. Dynamic queue takes away basically all of the fun of SOLO QUEUE.

It could maybe replace Dominion? I know they're taking that away and haven't planned on replacing it with anything. Granted people only used it for hide and seek, but still it was a fun time-waster with friends.

After talking with my friend about this he said that Riot should just add the timer to regular bot games, but I think Riot should would have to create a new game mode to avoid the inevitable raging that people will do when they get a new player in their game. Also, it should give the same exp/IP that regular bot games give.

I'm pretty sure it's one of those things that'd be 'solved' relatively quickly since bots are very predictable, and the highscores would basically just be a list of people who used whatever ideal comp to get that 5 minute win or however fast it can be done.

I'm pretty sure I heard the fastest involves being olaf and intentionally getting low health, then going ham on the turrets in mid lane for what it's worth.
