why is the butchers bridge only temporary?

this seems like a gigantic waste of resources to have the map on shelf, just to whip it out for a single week once a year.

as far as i can see, the layout is exactly the same of the howling abyss. its basically just a really fancy map skin. so why not do it like it used to work with these maps and have them randomly chose a skin for each game, but available throughout the entire year?

with the bilgewater theme, its not really a seasonal thing like with the halloween summoners rift, or the winter summoners rift version. is there really any argument against having the map throughout the year?

at least this way, all the work you put into the thing actually goes to good use. map skins are a thing ive personally been missing.

Because throwing the Howling abyss into the toilet is a waste too, so they're going to find a way to use both but it's still not decided how.

i just said it. have it work like it used to. at the start of the game, it choses the skin at random. you get either one or the other.

or have the howling abyss be the default map and a 25% chance of getting the bilgewater map in an aram. gameplay wise it doesnt make a difference.

i didnt say anything about replacing the howling abyss.

They said they're going to look into post-event options (for the map I'm guessing).No one said they're going to throw it in the trash once the Bilgewater event is done.
