Just an inquiry for Riot, I'm unsure on some things
I get you're focusing on 5v5's thats perfectly fine and you should focus on 5v5's especially since most of your player base prefers that game mode. I understand that it takes time and resources to do something different and sometimes that gamble doesn't pay off, or it doesn't get the needed attention to be successful (Dominion).
But to be frank, you could be so much more, there is so much more that could be added to the game, you could add constant or permanent variations/designs to summersrift, change it up, change to match the season, change the map to match new champ releases if you want to get that detailed.
And again I know its tough, but with the money and resources the number 1 played game in the world is getting, you should have those by now. It wouldn't take that long to release 3 permanetly themed maps for spring, summer, fall, and winter. Or so release a 5v5 map that looked different than the one we have now, same 5v5, same 3 lanes, but different directions or different locations of the jungle or different variations.
You could do so much more customization, there could be so much more...
I guess my inquiry is really just wondering what the future of league is? Where is its direction? Are we going to do the same pattern of New champ, small event, and 5v5 focused updates? Thats all we do right now. I still love the game, but I just feel like there could be so much more done to it to make it more fun for the majority of players. Especially the casual players, or the story focused players. Don't turn league into a repetative E sports focused game please... make it diverse
