Do you guys think the map should update again like it did 6 years ago?

At leagues launch, the map was different (no physical changes, only cosmetic). This was from 2008 to 2013, 5 years. It is now almost 6 years since the release of our current summoners rift. Anyone else think the game should update the map again?

I feel like this iteration of the SR map has aged very well. The original one was pretty dated by the time it got a touch up (as much as I love the nostalgia of it).

I'm sure Riot could make current SR look better, but personally I don't feel like it's necessary or a particularly great use of their time (far as I know they'd been busy working on the map for Nexus Blitz anyhow).

eh hard to say, honestly the way it is, is ok. yes it could use changes but what changes exactly

each player will have different input on that

No, the map is the most consistent thing about the game. It's actually a helluva lot more complex to change the map than you might imagine, because it has to have tons of coding go into it (Hi Bard! Hi Talon! Hi Flash!) and it's state has been something that's been perfected over the years. Changing the map just opens the door to a whole mess of new bugs and problems, and there are enough of those as is.

I was pretty sure that it got updated in 2015, cuz I remember trying it out in my ap bio class while the teacher was talking about the Kreb Cycle

According to the wiki, you're both wrong. It was November 12, 2014.

What?... why?...

Do you even understand what it is that you're asking?

do you understand what they're asking? i'm relatively certain this post is only asking for a cosmetic update, not a change to the actual layout of the terrain of the map itself. Personally, I'd say it's pretty unnecessary, the current map is very stylistically well-done, and holds up pretty well with that in mind.

you realize you just agreed with me, right?..

i never said anything about layout either, cosmetically nothing needs to be changed. how could it even be? this player is actually saying the cosmetics/graphics are 'dated' now, which has got to be a bad joke. that was my point.

the way you phrased it was especially snappy and made me think that you were implying the original poster was implying gameplay changes. my bad, i guess.

EDIT: i realize my response here is about as standoffish and passive-aggressive as yours was snappy, if it was even at all intended to be snappy, and i'd rather not spend a bunch of time arguing with someone over the internet about how snappy i think they sound, because it's arbitrary as fuck. have a good one, i'm sorry if i've been a prick.
