Addition of a warm up map for players

Hey guys and gals,

Recently I've found myself enjoying Riots new "Dark Star: Singularity" map and got the idea that Riot should create a warm up map for players before they start a serious game. I think having such a map would increase the chances of players doing better in their normal/ranked games and heck I even dare say may prevent some in game toxicity. The map doesn't have to be something fancy or extravagant but enough for players to test their reflexes and warm up their minds. A map that has a short enough game length but long enough to feel satisfying, probably somewhere between 10-15mins would be just right.

What are your thoughts and opinions about this?

So, "practice tool","custom", or "ARAM"? Or do you mean for the Dark Star Map itself?

I play aram to warm up, personally. How would your warm up map be different? Other than apparently a shorter game time?

I think ability usage/dodging is the primary concern for a practice map. I'm unsure of how you would go about making a map for map awareness. Personally, I think map awareness is just a skill you develop as you play more normal games. I think intermediate bots in customs offer a lot of skill building as their AI (which has improved immensely) makes them very gung ho to kill you but also very dodgy when they are in a dangerous spot.
