We should be able to adjust the target dummy's AR, MR, and HP to accurately test damage for builds

the practice tool is great to test out new champs and learn their mechanics but, its a horrible place to test out new builds, runes, and mastery set ups on your favorite champs. the problem is not everyone on the rift is going to have 10k health with 100 ar/mr. the purpose of the target dummy is to be able to practice and test different mechanics with your spell and auto rotations but whats the point if you're not getting accurate dmg results for what you just practiced? being able to adjust the dummy's HP, AR, and MR and or equip the dummy with items (to test things like how much dmg you take from autoing a thornmail item 3075 , how much of your crit dmg randuin's item 3143 is actually mitigating, or how much adaptive helm item 3194 is mitigating your dps, etc.) would be amazing. things like BoRK item 3153 and liandry's item 3151 especially give misleading numbers due to the dummy having 10k health. Jhin's 4 autos Jhin with BoRK item 3153 and RFC item 3094 isnt a build you should go for even though you get triple the dmg and dps on the target dummy compared to IE item 3031 and RFC item 3094

on the flip side, tank players have no way of testing their builds unless they sit under a tower or something. being able to set up a dummy of particular champs and equip them with items to mindlessly auto and combo their spells at you would be an amazing feature as well

thats why they give you 100k gold, you can only get what build you can get. You can also set it to 0 cds anyway.

As much as it pains me to say, it probably isnt very worthwhile.

If you think about it, adding 200 armor will just make you think "Ok so i will do half of what i did on the practice tool."

It isnt too hard to infer how much damage you deal, and it probably isnt worth riots time to program it, as it would take a lot longer than people think it will.

i dont want to attack u personally, but have u even read his post? Sure u can roughly estimate how much dmg u will deal with a pure ad/ap build ,but as soon as u try something like item 3151 or item 3153 you´re screwed ,because the dummys have supid high amounts of health. I guess u are right and in riot´s eyes the time to program this feature is not worth threir time. Nonetheless it would be very helpful for me and i am sure many others for proper dmg calculations and these dummys make the practicetool feel rather unfinished with how restrictive they are.

one thing i wanted to add. It´s true u can still do dmg-calculation by your self, but sometimes you just want to see the results and confirmation that something does or does not work.
