Practice tool: We should be able to customize the bots

Practice tool is great for us to test out a new champs kit, combos, or items.

But it's hard to fully test our items when we have 3 of them build and our bot enemy hasn't completed their first one. I'd like for us to be able to give our bot items, as well as up their level without having to keep pressing "skip forward 30 seconds", so we can accurately test our build out.

Most build testing isn't for the first items, but rather the first two or three items for the mid game. And by mid game our enemy usually has the same amount of items as us, so its difficulty to do any worthwhile testing with an under-powered bot.

Good idea? yes/yes [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Well tbh i'd like to be able to invite at least 1 person to try out duels at various builds, but being able to customize the bot would be a start, yeah

I was under the impression that Riot shipped out the Practice Tool with intent to continue working on it, but they haven't updated it in a while and it's still not quite perfect.

I absolutely agree that this should be implemented, what's the point in giving yourself a full set of items if you can't reliably test them on champions with their own item sets?

I agree with you although, I wish they'd give us the chance to make bots killable so we could practice cool reset mechanics like kha'zix double jump.
