Practice Tool is a single player game mode in League of Legends. Released in V7.3, the game mode was specifically designed to allow players to interact with training dummies and enable cheats on Summoner's Rift.

General[]

• Map: Summoner's Rift
• Draft type: Blind pick

A simple, straight forward, single-player environment that lets you test out things like checking wall Flash points or if you can solo Dragon with a certain item build, without having to manually spend time experimenting in Custom games.

“	As League gains more and more similarities to a sport, it makes sense that there be a place where you can go to shoot hoops!
	— Riot Games[1]

Bots[]

Only one bot is available to participate in the practice session for training purposes. It is totally optional and can only be picked as an enemy. Its intelligence can be ranked only Beginner or Intermediate.

Dummy[]

Dummy is a unit type that can be directly summoned in Practice Tool, it stands in as a champion for all intents and purposes. It can be summoned by pressing Shift + B.

Upon taking damage from a champion, the Dummy will track total damage, damage per second, and last tick of damage value. Dummy health can be seen dropped, but they cannot die (similar to Undying Rage's buff). After 3 seconds of not taking damage (remaining time displayed visually by the dummy's resource bar), the damage tracking is reset and the dummy health is restored to full.

Using practice tool commands, player can change maximum health and resistances only of an enemy dummy. Dummies gain up to +100% increased size based on bonus health, with the maximum size capped at 10,000 health (130 gameplay radius). Ally dummies always have 1000 maximum health and 0 resistances.

A dummy's health cannot go below 1 health.

A dummy can take a maximum of (100% of target dummy's maximum health - 1) damage.

Commands[]

Commands, or cheats, are functions that help players in testing. It can be a resource free, instant refresh spells so you can practice landing them. Or you can summon jungle camps repetitively to test the best jungle route.

Particulars[]

Results in Practice Tool do not always reflect the same circumstances in other game modes. Notably, the dummy has special interactions with certain abilities.

• Fiora's Grand Challenge - Reapplying over an ongoing challenge will incur a 1-second cooldown and inform Fiora that the ability cannot be stacked.
• Kayn's Transformation - Using the Kill Player Champion button during the transformation will not grant Kayn his new abilities nor update the animations accordingly for which form he chose. He will however be given the champion model for Rhaast / Shadow Assassin.
• Kindred's Mounting Dread - Says it cannot be stacked.
• Irelia's Vanguard's Edge - Only one for all of the blades on the ground can exist. Creating another will override the previous one.
• Twitch's Spray and Pray - If the ability is cast again before the effect has ended, it will refresh the stat buff (bonus AD and bonus range) but Twitch will fire standard attacks instead of the bolts.
• Mordekaiser's Realm of Death - Taking a dummy (without any bonus health) into the realm and dealing more damage than its maximum health (possible by Obliterate with very high ability power) will kill it.
• Urgot's Fear Beyond Death can kill a dummy.
  • If the dummy is being suppressed by Urgot's Mercy, Aspect of the Dragon can kill the dummy. Aspect of the Dragon alone can also kill a dummy in rare occasions.
• Vi's Cease and Desist - Casting the ability on two different targets in quick succession will affect both of them at the same time if they are in a certain range of each other.
• A killed dummy would respawn in its fountain.
• A Turret in an untargetable state will still take damage from certain anti-turret effects.
• If a dummy has more than 20,000 health, procing The Collector's passive will kill it, due to the execute being above the 1 health threshold for the dummy.

Trivia[]

• The Training Dummy design is based on Teemo; red representing an enemy target dummy while the blue an ally target dummy.
• After using the practice tool for 59:14, a warning will appear stating that the practice tool will close in 1 minute. This makes the longest time that anyone can use the practice tool in one sitting 60 minutes and 14 seconds.
• Dummies are summoned at level 1 and can gain experience like normal champions. They can also level up, but gain no benefits from it.
• Dummies will face directly towards your location at the time of being summoned.
• When you use the option 'Win the Game', a message appears over your character: "My only way to see that Victory screen.".
• Training dummies are immune to Grievous Wounds.
• In Teamfight Tactics, the item Target Dummy reuses the model and animations of the Training Dummy.
