Suggestion: Allow players to test out champions before buying them

Łøkı··1 votes·495 views

**Tl;dr ** Allow people to try out champions on a small (solo) trial map. Purpose: to prevent those "this champion sounds neat... oh wait I actually hate it" feels.

Longer version: Create a very small trial map that only loads minions and neutral monsters. Under the store info for any champion you don't own, there'd be a link to that map. You'd load in at level 6 (so all abilities are available). You'd then have about 2 minutes to test out the champion and see if you love it or hate it, before the trial ends and you're taken back to the store.

Thoughts?

Its called Free Rotation Week. Letting people play the champs anytime they want would cause them to lose money and they are a business. You get plenty of IP to buy the initial cheap champs. They give away a lot of free stuff already in a free game. It seems greedy to ask for more.

Oh man, maybe my idea wasn't that clear... you wouldn't be able to play an actual game through that link. All this would do is give you a few minutes on an empty map to try out the abilities for yourself (versus just watching the videos/reading the descriptions). I think it'd actually increase sales, because people who are hesitating about buying a new champion could try them out, fall in love, and decide to buy them.

i think this should be a thing it would help the summoners but how would you test it out

That's what the rotation is for. Otherwise people feel no incentive to buy champions with RP.

Heroes of the storm Try mode is great for this among other things.

Rotation... + now you can use the Hextech system for it, but who wants to RENT something if he can get it from a little more work...
