Changing Runes While In The Practice Tool

The apparent use of the practice tool is to allow players to refine and hone what is optimal in terms of build paths, last-hitting, movement, and animation cancelling. With that in mind, the current state of locking a player into one runeset feels clunky as players are often trying to break down what runepage works with a given set of items and comparing the potential damage output on the practice dummies.

Simply put; the ability to change your runepage without having to restart a Practice Tool match would feel infinitely smoother on our quest to refine champion build potential.

PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATION: Mirroring the current set of options on the left side of the screen, the right side would have a bar that when expanded would show the players current rune page and minor runes. The player would then be able to toggle between runes in real-time. The only things that would be changed are the players runes with the numerical values in the player tabs just left of the champion portrait being reset to allow for accurate data gathering.

LESS PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATION: Mirroring the current set of options on the left side of the screen, the right side would have a bar that when expanded would show the players current rune page and minor runes. The player would then be able to toggle between runes and be prompted to with a lock-in button. Once locked in, the game would perform a Reset Game command, the existing option in the Practice Tool's leftside toolbar, and the game would start fresh with the new runes in places of the old ones.

LEAST PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATION: Mirroring the current set of options on the left side of the screen, the right side would have a bar that when expanded would show the players current rune page and minor runes. The player would then be able to toggle between runes and be prompted to with a lock-in button. Once locked in, the game would start a new match entirely, with the new runes in places of the old ones, reflecting the same start-up that would occur had a player started from a fresh champion select screen in the Practice Tool startup.

While I've couched these options under their respective headers, any of them would implemented in some fashion would feel infinitely more fluid and responsive to the testing out new runepages compared to the present system. The Practice Tool is a huge asset in terms of refining builds, interactions, and bug replication (for the sake of correction). The game and playerbase stand only to benefit from refining it further.
