All champions need to be available in Practice Mode.

I'm making this thread again.

All champions need to be available in Practice Mode.

Every other MOBA has either free access of all champions (which I'm not suggesting), all champions in practice mode, or at-least a trial mode!

My friend is playing League of Legends more lately, and he's still annoyed that he can't trial champions before buying them (or simply to understand them.)

Reading about abilities and watching champion spotlights is NOT ENOUGH.

You might think you like some champions, based on their theme and/or kit, until you play and hate them.

You might overlook some champions, because they seem uninteresting, until you _play _ and enjoy them.

You will never know how they feel until you actually play them.

Knowing how to play a champion is the best counter.

Everyone knows how Blitzcrank works: "BIG YELLOW ROBOT PULLS ME INTO ENEMY TEAM." but not everyone knows how he plays.

It's the people who know how to play Blitzcrank that avoid getting grabbed.

It's the people who never played him, who never appreciated the mindset of the champion, who always get caught out.

There's no excuse for not enabling all champions in Practice Mode, unless you want to admit that you like making money off ill-informed purchases.

Additionally: Allow players to invite others to their Practice Mode. If the mode is going to be a "strain on the servers" at-least justify it.

I don't think you guys realize that riot won't put in the effort to do something unless it makes them money. This is why lesser played champions like warwick have tons of bugs, while Riven gets to stay in a good spot every season and Ezreal gets skins so often. Riot won't implement any features into the game just for the players, they only look at the profit. That's why champions get buffed before they release a skin for them. That's why they developed a dota auto chess clone so quickly, instead of putting in resources to make Twisted Treeline a better mode. Auto chess was a popular gamemode, and they jumped on the trend to grab as much cash as they could. Twisted Treeline would have taken effort to balance, and there is no guarantee that it would have been a popular gamemode if fixed, so they just plan on deleting it. It's sad, but $$$ is the only thing that is important to them, like any other massive companies. This is what happens when games become too popular, greed ruins them.

But then you wouldn't be encouraged to buy champs with real world money to see if you like them at a rate faster than never...

And all skins. You get to test them out yourself and it would probably lead to more purchases

PBE and the 'free rotation' are both options allowing you to trial champions before buying them. No need to make them all available in practice mode for that.

I agree that having all champions available in practice mode would be nice, but the above comment/quote is a bad argument for it.

if you want a champ grind like everyone else xd or wait for them to be in free rotation.
