Why all champions should be available in practice tool

Why should we do this?

Currently in the practice tool you can only play champions that you already own or are in the free to play. This is of course not that bad. But what if you wanted to buy a champion but you’re not sure if you wanted to buy this champion. You cannot try this champion out in any way, and would have to see others play this champion. You cannot decide if this champion fits your playstyle because you can only see other people play the champion you’re interested in.

But this defeats the purpose of learning champions through play experience!

No not really. This is because of the fact that if you possess basic understanding of the kit, and some basic combos that the champion can do then this can help with becoming a better player. Having all champions available in the practice tool allows you try out builds for all champions and see the possibilities of these builds.

Also allow all bots or allow spawning of champions that'd fill the same purpose as... how are they called... targets.

I was trying to get a footage of a Kayn bug that required Fiora in the game, but I need an actual person playing Fiora, because she isn't available anywhere.

You can get replays and record it in your match history :)

The last time I had Fiora picked in my normal/ranked games was like THREE months ago.

I didn't mean that you could still get it but if you see the bug happen, you can get a replay and record it from your match history. If you didn't see the bug happen in your own game then there will be footage somewhere on the internet. :)

And how do you think I got the footage for the other 3 bugs?

Yeah, I did find it... In 240p recorded with a potato.

I'm pretty sure 240p is enough for RIOT to find out what's wrong and fix it! ;)

30 videos of 1024p quality isn't enough for them to fix a 10 month old bug! ;)

there are like 100 simply ways to improve practice mode, yet people tell me it´s fine and that further changes would be unnecessary. And i´m like [sg-ahri-1] What!?

i actually really like this idea, and i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet, iv'e been holding onto a kayn shard for a long time and i'm not sure if i wanna unlock it or not, but he isn't free and having to wait freaking sucks...

Yes! Someone posted about this a few months ago, but I guess it wasn't popular enough to get any attention.
