Dear Riot: Sandbox

League of Legends needs a sandbox mode, but not a normal sandbox mode. A normal sandbox mode is for rip offs and older 'MOBA' this is League. I think a new map should be created, a place of hostile foes and deadly creatures. Every so often the foes stop attacking and you can recharge. Here are a few ideas.

Outpost - Create a outpost at the edge of 'Dangerous location x' - Maybe set in the voodoo lands, or some other wild place. The map starts with a ring of towers and one large tower in the middle. Each champ spawns by the far towers. Waves of creatures spawn off map and slowly come at your tower. The first tower is a low level fight against tough monsters who give jungle level exp. As the waves get stronger and more diverse, slowly towers fall. The team who last the longest wins. Why team? Because League is a team game.

Training course - A Noxian general training course where as you venture across the map you get random camps of monster that you fight (Noxian trained monsters) and you test your ability to destroy. The winner is the first player to reach the center, each course is designed for a different champion type. Players are too far apart to effect each other, but the race to finish the course is real. (Some excepts apply)

Shurima Desert - Ancient training ground. Sand creatures appear, and destroying them sends them to another player's area to deal with. The goal is to keep the sand creatures fighting the other players (Although players can work together) or be over whelmed. Different types of sand creatures would be more or less effective against different champion types. (Sand roaches are easy for AOE champs)

The idea of a sandbox is to practice. Creating interactive sections of the league universe to practice basic skills in would be amazing. Pay X gold for a cannon barrage at a target, practicing map awareness (Who is the best to attack) or making high value minions under tower harder to last hit as practice for under tower last hitting.

I have more fleshed out versions of this if you want to see more.

This isn't a sandbox, it's a whole new training mode. A sandbox is meant to be something to use the existing map and be able to change features at will. Gold, XP, Cooldowns, Level, Health, Mana, Monster Health/spawn status, etc.
