Anyone else feel like Twisted Treeline really doesn't add anything?

It seems like the other maps are meant to add something. Howling Abyss adds a fast, frantic style of playing where fighting is the main focus. Crystal Scar completely changed the objectives you went for. Twisted Treeline... takes away 4 people?

It just feels like TT really doesn't have an identity aside from housing Vilemaw and is just kind of a waste of space. Personally, I think it would be cool if TT was redesigned so it gives a unique experience.

For Example...

League doesn't have a capture the flag mode
Or a King of the Hill mode
Or a team deathmatch mode
All of League's gamemodes have all been team based, so a free for all might bring something new
Maybe to keep Vilemaw intact, it could be the players vs. monster gamemode with Vilemaw sending hordes of spiders

It doesn't have to leave the lore, I'm talking about this purely from a gameplay perspective

SR offers a slow-paced, strategic experience. ARAM offers an "easy to learn, hard to master"-style of gameplay. Dominion offered a fast-paced, tactical experience.

Treeline is essentially a compromise between SR and Dominion. It's much faster (both in game pacing and match length) than SR, yet still has that element of slow-paced strategy that SR does.
