Seriously, it is fun, but sometimes I don't have that many friends available and no one will play it unless it's "All 30s ARAM."

So I add my request to the hoard: Add a queue!

A little over two months ago, a number of developers and I participated in Riot’s first ever Thunderdome – a periodic, companywide event aimed at allowing developers to work on whatever they want. My team set out to make the Proving Grounds, our basic tutorial map, playable as full on 5v5. This is something I’ve wanted to do ever since I originally worked on the map, and with the help of some other devs (and a good bit of caffeine) we managed to get everything up and running. Everyone was pretty happy with how the effort turned out, and with the upcoming removal of Winter Summoner’s Rift we saw an opportunity to sneak the new map out by repurposing the same UI hooks.

We've been testing the Proving Grounds for a week or so on the PBE, and now I'm pleased to announce that it is also playable as a custom game on the live servers. While we’ve been playtesting it internally as All Random (and lovin’ it) for quite some time now, all the pick options will be available – Blind Pick, Draft, and All Random – because we’re excited to see what variation you enjoy the most. We’d love to hear any feedback that you may have, as both RiotNome and myself will be providing support post release. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Fellow Rioters who helped me sneak this out:
Bigbadabruin
chunkface
Drevarius
Kilmourz
RiotNome
Ponts
positron7
Riot Taco Storm
RiotTroyzilla
subninja
Veigar

People should allow others to have a chance, maybe a few of you *cough* arrogant *cough* pros could teach the lower levels something. When i get a champ, ill ask my team if anyone knows how to play them and ask for tips. If someone is better with the champ than you are, why not let them have it? Of course, this is just an opinion/concern i raise, and by all means, you don't have to acknowledge it. But the nubs of today "MAY" become the pros of tomorrow.

Level 30 is the norm, anything before that is beginner.

By the way, when will We see a forum section and an official game for for proving grounds?
