Will Riot ever change SR to be left to right instead of corner to corner?

Nexus Blitz made me realize how bad the camera angle is on Summoner's Rift (and ARAM), and how it massively favors blue side. The tilt of the camera allows a blue player to see a wider area of the red side, than a red player sees of the blue side. I even remember seeing stats about Blue side's winrate being much higher than red side's in competitive plays, although i'm too lazy to go dig for it.

Instead of Blue side being south-west and red north-east, what about changing the map orientation from west to east. Or make it so that red team's camera is mirrored, which would allow them to see themselves as if they were blue team, with the same camera angles.

um theres another thing that changes based on side and thats pick ban order blue side gets first pick and in competitive thats a pretty big deal and mirroring the map sounds like a technical nightmare....

I'm a huge fan of using the camera mirroring option, I see no reason why red team should have to look at the map like that. And I know plenty of people who hate getting red side.

The problem with mirroring is Dragon, Baron/Herald, and now Scuttle. Try taking a picture of the map and flipping it across the river line. Now take the original image and try rotating it 180 degrees. Bot and Top are now swapped.

So, neither works.
