Practice Tool Idea

The practice tool helps with a lot of things, and I can say it has certainly helped me and a lot of other players improve. I have seen in many recent games an overall improvement in last hitting skill, resulting in better CS, and many complex champions being played better. There is one thing, however, that it doesn't help much with: skill shots. While one's mechanics may be amazing, skill shots are relatively hard to train in practice tool when your only target is standing still. Generally, your target in a real game will not be standing idle for you to blow your entire kit on them for free. So, I propose an idea- add in one more target dummy option that causes it to move in a straight line. The way it would work is, you mark where it starts and finishes, and the target dummy then moves back and forth from Point A to Point B to Point A and so on, not stopping unless dummies are cleared. While you may know the direction the target is moving, and even the distance, the idea here is to allow you to train your skill shots on a moving target, which can really help when you play champions that are very much skill shot intensive, like Nidalee who is strongly reliant on landing her Q, or Ezreal, who's kit is basically nothing but skill shots. Furthermore, it can help you train combos on a target that would likely be running away with any combo based champion, like Lee Sin or Riven. Now, I have not worked out the idea as to how the dummy reacts if it is displaced; perhaps maybe just run back into the initial player-created line. Regardless, I feel like this would be an awesome addition to the practice tool and would certainly help a lot of people in landing skill shots.
