It would allow people to practice teamfighting or laning under pressure or objective control without wasting a ton of time.

Also it could be fun, and fun things are fun.

Yeah, imagine all the custom game modes you could make.

they will probably not allow it to happen because it basically means URF for all players at all time, and you know how rito hate urf.

i was thinking about a "pre-loaded" champs roaster, where we could switch from X champ to Y, without having to exit and enter the practice mode again. that would be dope imo

I dont think they dont want to put multiplayer sandbox mode its just that they havent gotten that far into the development.

they LITERALLY just managed to get this out on PBE, and they have even SAID there will be more things down the line. be PATIENT! and more stuff WILL come to the practice mode as time goes on. it takes a while to make this shit work. I mean come on, the Practice Tool isn't even on the live servers yet, meaning they are still working stuff out with this first model.

I'm actually surprised it wasn't their intention since the very beginning.

I always imagined the practice tool to be a multiplayer thing, I didn't expect them not to have thought about it xD

oh dear god its not out officially yet and after all the years of bitching about not having a "sandbox" mode and RIOT finally does it and you find something to bitch about

Yeah, the main reason I want it is to play LeeSin ultimate tennis.

The focus of Practice Mode is not to enable people to sandbox as team vs team. That was never the intention and Riot stated this when they told us what the Practice Mode was going to be about.

Practice Mode is not a mode for you to play pretend games or have pro teams scrimming against each other. It's a mode where you can practice a particular set of skills by yourself and then leave to play your games with added confidence that you won't screw up that thick wall Flash, for example.

#To quote their Road to Pre-Season: Practice Tool in the Works article:

Our initial approach with a practice tool is going to be low-scope, simple, and straightforward—close to a punching bag and weights for practicing execution. We are doing our best to make this tool inclusive to people at every level. Everyone from Bronze to Challenger should see value in a single-player training mode to practice mechanics and map movement, but we’re currently not looking to develop a multiplayer training tool for organized team drills or pro-play specifically. Once we get the first version out, we’ll pay close attention to see if we missed anything in terms of how to become better by yourself.
