What if there were Training Dummies that move in a line?

That would help with aiming at a moving target. It could be like a dummy on wheels sent at a certain direction. That'd be neat.

Hmm, that sounds like it's got potential to me at least. I don't work on or regularly with the team that's building Practice Tool, I'll pass the suggestion on to them though!

That would be a great way to train on my Jhin Curtain Call shots :^)

@Meddler, I think training mode need dummies that keep shooting skill-shots at a straight line for us to test itemization for tanks and bruisers, could have 4 variations:

AD variation with 1 sec CD per skillshot ( test dps, and dps reduction when building defensive items )
AD variation with burst skill-shots ( A huge dmg one or burst of the variation 1 ) with 5 sec CD so we can process the numbers.
AP variation similar to the first.
AP beam with constant dps ( maybe 2 or 4 ticks per sec ).

Does Riot plan to add the ability to change champion's stats, skills, and multiplayer in the training mode? I think we (players) can come up with fresh ideias to help the balance team in the future, giving feedback with visual representation of a solution could be valuable, don't you think?

Disclaimer: I know the objective with the training tool is to train the mechanics of the game, but I think with minor changes could also become much more.

EDIT: Could even be a huge Renekton head-like structure.

id also like to see for the practise tool being able to make the training dummy just keep firing abilities of your chosing at regular intervals at you.

there are certain abilities in this game that i honestly still have trouble dodging due to wonky hitboxes.

would be nice if we could pop down a practise dummy and make him just fire fizz ults at you every 10 seconds, for example.

Ooo Ooo !!

Can I suggest to be able to change the dummies' Armor / MR as well?

I want to see how much dmg I do on squishies and tanks.

Set them up with Vector cast? Draw out a line that says how long you want it to go, and it'll go back and forth.

NO because in real life your enemies **don't **move in a line. This can only lead to bad habits

Wait what? All movements are in a line. Sure, there is sometimes juking or alternate movement patterns involved, but most of the time the enemies move in a direction to avoid you. They don't just stand still; if anything a static dummy would cause the bad habits. The habits that this would lead to is ability timing and movement tracking.
