Sandbox Mode is not a risk

The barrier for entry already exists. New players learning how to jungle? They go into custom and practice the clear. Or they're taken into bots with friends, fail epically, do nothing for 30 minutes as they struggle to kill camps, or go to a lane instead. Or in the worst case scenario, they just go into a normal and fail epically but with no friends to help them.

Going into a custom is just the same as a sandbox, except now you're showing the community you made the choice to subject people to inconvenience,s truggle, and wasting time because of your warped and out of touch perspective.

Training Mode and Sandboxes have been an industry standard, an INDUSTRY STANDARD, in competitive games for over a fucking decade, Riot. Street Fighter now has training rooms that jump you right into your match when it's found, so you can "grind" while you wait for the queue. Console games in the PS1/N64 era had this shit. But now this standard is exponentially more important in this genre, because games DO last for up to 50 fucking minutes and learning the game is NOT as simple as "just play it maaan"

This genre has the largest barrier of entry next to maybe RTS like Starcraft, and you arrogant dicks just insulted everybody, trying to act like there is some greater meaning to your backwards, stubborn thinking. The new players who NEED space and help to learn the game, the veterans who WANT space to improve their game...

Screw off with these excuses
