I would like to see a "practice mode" implemented for Hero vs Hero battles.

Would set you against a hero team of your selection. So you can battle, the EXACT type of opponent you want. (setting the skills of these hero's if at all possible.) (no faction gain, no count towards the title)

Also, an "unranked challange" feature so you could practice against a freind. Or face off against that "loud mouth" in the local district. (no faction gain, no count towards title, I know this has been asked for ALOT im just including for GP)

(while I have your attention. Can I get a /sign for removing the 4's over everyones head in HvH? I mean. You cant team up at all. Why create screen clutter by having them shown? Just disable them for that outpost.)

You could just /roll in the outpost...

You're practise sugestion is already in Place, it's called the Zaishen Challenge and Zaishen Elite. You can select many different teams to play against.

They disabled /roll in outposts a long time ago, somthing about people doing gambling.

My apologies, I dont usally go there. You are able to play in HvH maps against AI teams? (probally not user created hero teams, with preset skill bars, so you can REALLY practice and not just beat up on 5 skill using henchmen.)

nothing in the outposts anymore. try it in an instance.

/roll 100

Basically, in HvH, players are /roll 100 and whoever rolls higher stays looser leaves, and each progress towards the title faster. Its kinda lame really. Antheus was flamishly telling me my idea didnt matter.

Meh, I was more saying HvH is too lame at the moment to bother with it anyway. Don't know if any changes were made yet, or was it only for GvG right now.

Why not just...do a real one? You don't lose those cheated commander points if you lose, do you?

Lets say I wanted to see how my balanced build faired against a hex heavy team. (looking for weakness's in my build)

If I could create a hero hex heavy team, I would be able to properly identify area's of needed improvement.

Instead of wading through matches against unknown's I would much rather spend 20 minutes or so building what I wanted to test against, then giving it a go.

Also...

This would be an invaluable tool for players to learn how the AI handled certain skill combinations, both from using them and having them used against them.
