Testing bot games

Hi I am new to LOL ... only been playing 3 days ... and an oldie (56 years old) so not as good at these type of games as you young ones. I am actually a refugee from WOW/SWTOR and a couple of others. What I was wondering was if there is or could be testing arenas where you play 3x3 or 5x5 with only bots ... kind of like the training grounds but without the annoying help tips that keep getting in the way of actually playing. The reason I ask is because I would like to test out different champions without ballsing up a whole game for everyone else. It might also be good for testing out new builds/new ideas for gameplay ... ie testing out playing a lane not normal for the champion, or practising jungling. Maybe even don't give XP/levels/ip or whatever else for the testing arenas ... just have them for people to try out stuff ... and perhaps to take noob friends in to teach them the basics before letting them loose on other people. I know they have those low level games that you can choose intro/beginner/moderate ... but even those I kind of feel bad if I want to test a new champion and completely stuff up the game. It took me about 10 or 12 games in the training games before I was brave enough to poke my head into one of those intro games ... I didn't do as bad as I expected ... but didn't do too good either so I felt bad for the others playing. I played Ryze and he is okay I think but I would like to try out some ot the other ones without having to listen to that annoying woman on the training game.

You can create a custom game with you and a team of bots against enemy bots. You can make it 1v1 all the way up to 5v5.

You can even pick the enemy bots and your teams bots.

Just hit "Play" then click "Custom" then "Create Game". On the next screen you can set a password on your room so random people don't join. You can just type randomly on the keyboard as the password isn't important. You can select your map and the team size. Then hit "Create Game" and add as many bots to your team and the enemy team as you want.

When you hit "Start Game" it'll bring you to the normal champion select screen where you can select your champion, runes and masteries as normal and then once you lock in the game will start and it's just you and the bots.

They remove the tips for Intermediate bot games. You can also create a custom match and add bots to either side, though you won't gain any XP or IP from a custom match.
