@Riot: What will the future bring for Twisted Treeline?

Dear employees of Riot,

do you have any plans for Twisted Treeline for this season? I am a huge fan of this mode but I think this map needs to progress along with all the changes you made since its last rework.

I would like to ask you what you think about the following topics regarding 3v3. It would be a great if someone of the Riot staff could look into this.

Gameplay (Jungle, Altars, ...)
Design (visual update)
Intergrity (potential solo/dynamic queue, normal draft pick)
Balancing (specific champions and items)

I have the feeling that you don't really care about the current state of our beloved Twisted Treeline at the moment. I guess only few people play on this map these days (sometimes I get 30 min queues for Normal Games)...

Who is concerned with Twisted Treeline at Riot? Is there a dedicated team for this mode?

Best regards, Oswald Mandus

They dont care about anything but summoners rift. They at first made it look like they cared, by giving certain nerfs to champions only for TT. Then they just gave up.

I feel Rito doesnt care unless it has anything at all to do with LCS. Anything else is irrelevant.

Well, let's see, they'll probably gonna remove it, then a bunch of people who never played it like the rest gonna complain how they played it, so that's probably it.

Good luck with getting an answer. There's been virtually no information from Riot about alternate maps since, I think, the texture/minion updates a while back. Even Champ Mastery and Hextech Crafting were only confirmed for "being actively discussed."

Patch Notes 6.5 - "We decided the twisted trees in Twisted Treeline were taking away from the player experience... so we straightened them.

All I got to say is, be careful what you wish for. There's a big thread going on how Dominion currently feels more balanced than Summoner's Rift.

If Riot did turn their sites on TT, you might end up with something even worse than you started with.

It's an easy mode to play as a bruiser when you don't have 5 people potentially peeling and kiting you, but it's also not as engaging as larger 5v5s. You kill 1-3 people and you have no human interaction until they respawn. There's nothing for you to think about until then.
