Riot Need a Match up Training Mode

riot should have a system mode made specifically for 1v1 or 2v2 practice that allows players to choose what type of opponent they want to face for training purposes. For example, if i am playing lux and want to learn the match up versus a zed on a 1v1 and versus a real player, i would go to this training mode, select zed as my queue opponent option, choose lux as my character, and the system will match me up with a zed player who is looking to learn the match up against a lux. Too many players aren't knowledgeable or comfortable playing against other people who main certain champs and it can be very difficult to find very specific games to play in order to learn. This lack of knowledge and experience is hurting the ranked system a lot, especially as newer players who aren't experienced join the game. Its better than practice mode in that you are versus a real player rather than a bot who has opinions, etc, and its better than the practice mode because its easier to find people who main the champion or who have similar interests rather than a friend who is helping you out. It can also help to reorient yourself during champion changes.

Thoughts?

Two big problems I can see, queue times might not be short enough for Riot or a bunch of people. And there is the issue of toxicity. this mode would need a chat of some type, most likely a mandatory message chat (all chat in other game modes) and an optional voice chat that can be toggled on and off. But with these chat options there will be people that use these modes of communication to flame the opposing player instead of helping or teaching them.

And I said WILL because there is no way that RIot can completely abolish toxicity from this game and/or this idea for training. The players, but mainly Riot, can try to get rid of toxicity, but there is a guarantee that there will be atleast one toxic person playing league of legends. I’m NOT saying that toxicity should not be a reason that people are banned, I’m just looking from a realistic/statistical standpoint because there is no way that there will never be toxicity. That is just the way of the world.

Moving on from the two problems, there can be two options for this training mode. A “tutor” mode where you can play against/with a high elo player for the champ you want to learn or a player that is very experienced with the champ you are learning (with some restrictions like above silver 3 and has played the champ recently). And a “practice” mode where you can practice with your champ against a specific matchup (would have longer queue time because you are looking for a specific champ in a similar rank) or a “random” matchup (shorter queue time than the specific champ option because all the matchmaking bot has to do is look for somebody who wants to play against your champ and is a similar rank).

I doubt I would use it regularly but I wouldn't mind it being in the game
