So as somebody who played LOL, and debated paying a coach but ultimately didn't here's one person's input:

- I wouldn't have paid for what you described for LOL. (One data point)

- I wanted a practice tool better than what LOL offered. I basically had no way to practice specific matchups at a fast pace. For example if I wanted to repeatedly practice level 1 all-ins, that required committing to a 40 minute game and possibly having my team be annoyed at me. Likewise if I wanted to practice 5v5 fights where a particular ult is a game-deciding moment I had no way either.

- I don't know if I would have paid for the above, maybe I would have if I felt like it worked. Ultimately what I would want to know from a coach is -> for every moment in my replay what did I do wrong: could I have won a specific 1v1?, did I use my abilities well?, was I in the right part of the map?, what was our composition's win-condition and was I helping it enough?

So replay-analysis is what a lot of people buy from coaches, is definitely not a violation of TOS or risk of getting banned. May be worth considering that and working your way towards automation gradually.

Regardless, best of luck!
