Practice Tool has been a huge success.

Granted, there's a few things I've made note of that could improve it. However, as a whole, I think it's been a huge success.

I say this for one core reason - mechanics that used to be primarily accessible to high elo players/one-tricks/high elo one-tricks are accessible to the average player. I learned the Alistar W Q Flash combo in about 5 minutes in a practice tool game, same with J4 E Q Flash, same with Camille E Flash, and on and on.

Things I rarely even saw on pro streams I can commit to learning and pull off consistently in my own games.

Agreed, I've used it to practice a lot of Kha'Zix double jumps and Gangplank one part barrels.

I agree , but I still think that we need to have an option to play vs 5 and practice against them , playing vs 1 is kinda boring

Practice Tools has a lot of room for improvement. The problem is that Riot will likely only improve it based on feedback, but they aren't getting any feedback because no one is fucking using it.

Yeah I really appreciate it. I mostly use it to find out what actual hitboxes are on abilities to find out why things hit when they shouldn't. Some of it is pretty weird if you test it out. It's also nice to have for new champions, get used to their abilities and ranges before walking into a normal game.

Hoping for the ability to bring a friend into the game with you with the game owner controlling things like minions and turrets. It would be nice to test things like damage against specific builds and whatnot.

For me it was the most complicated (and useless) Gangplank Combo: from within Q range, Q then flash to max Q range then one part. I'm pretty sure almost every Gangplank main fixated on this at one point

Why would you need to w+q and flash? unless they flash but still
