SUMMONERS RIFT

Currently their are no cute little crustations in the river to kill what happened to them were they left out on purpose or forgotten.

Currently the inner turrets and base turrets are showing no additional effects because the inner turret is not shielding and the base turret is not using a fast killing laser to kill things

Other than that after my first game things appear to be all goooooooood. but that very well might change. I haven't done all the lanes and jungle yet so their might be more soon.

2015 season changes are not on live so you won't be seeing any scuttling in the river, or tower shields just yet.

This is just the map its self, no balance changes.

I dig it the new Summoners Rift. It looks really clean.

Our mods missed this discussion unfortunately, but this is not appropriate for this board, as it is not a bug report, but instead a discussion for opinions. I've locked the discussion instead of deleting it because it has already fully matured.

I like it so far. The New SR feels much more alive then the old SR. I do have a couple of critiques that I mentioned in another thread (don't want to spam). However all in all I really like the new SR.

This opionion will be unpopular but meh: I don't like it.

First of all - and this is my biggest grouch - the colors are way too muted, to the point of everything looking the same. Why do riot's artists hate colors?
Map feels completely void of life, definitely needs more critters living in the forest/river or whatever, to spice things up
By the way. River? More like a flattened out purple blob, there is absolutely nothing waterlike about it.
While they did a good job cleaning out the clutter, as an assassin my first question upon entering the map was: where the hell am I supposed to hide/juke? You can tell from a cursory glance exactly where I'm hiding.
Overall the map is just so... empty.

It's not beyond saving though, with a little work all these points could be fixed easily.

So far my only comments are:

THE NEXUS EXPLOSION MY EYESSSS. It is like someone is using a camera's flash into my face.
Just went against a Nidalee, her MS was fluctuating frequently despite not triggering any of her passive MS abilities. Haven't tested this yet, but it was clearly visible (and watchable if you clicked in her as she walked by wards).

There are distinctly different distances I've noticed, and no that isn't me being crazy. River dot push was "hittable" with a lux or morgana snare on dragon side but wasn't on baron side. Now, neither are hittable. Things got moved and I am not pleased.

Love how the map came out, and it runs beautifully performance wise (I actually raised my video settings due to the excess fps). Can't wait for all the new upcoming preseason changes (they all seem wonderful).

Two little minor things:

North of Red base, the shadows from architecture of the base are being cast on the painted background which looks a little strange. Gives the background a really fake "Truman Show-esque" feel lol. I'm not sure if this is an artifact with my specific video settings (currently have environment details on either medium or high, shadows on low).

2 Could the minion shots (the little dots the shoot) be made brighter or more noticeable? They are very tiny and barely noticeable. Once again this may be an artifact of the video settings maybe? I'm not sure how visible they are supposed to be. It would greatly aid in cs'ing if they were as clearly visible as on the old map with a glow effect and some weight.

Thanks~ Keep up the sweet work guise!

I really love the map. I like the tone of colours, the clarity, the new critters, the minions, etc.

What I LOVE though is the new camera!

I really like the new summoner's rift, but I feel like it still needs some bugfixes. Every once in a while, the background audio seems to "freeze up" for a bit, including champion's voices. Also, the game feels a bit more laggy than before. Other than that, it's perfect.

I got someone from riot to post on my thread biggest smile in the world

The only thing I find offputting is the Camera. It's feels a little Wonky to me. Going down mid(or up in one case, because I play Karthus), the camera angle I found was a bit off. I think it affects the other players because I thought I was getting Lasered by Lux's ult, but instead of getting a face full of laser, it didn't do jack-squat, so I don't know what's going on over there.
