[Proposal] Twisted Treeline gameplay update, New game mode & More. @Riot, Mort, Meddler

A few weeks ago, my team published a month-long's worth of work as a proposal. We all understand the issues with Treeline and we carefully analysed all of these issues and provide meaningful, fail-safe solutions which would have worked.

I don't think any of us expect TT to be as large as SR but the minor gameplay updates to it, along with our promotional ideas would have lead to a massive increase in popularity and sizeable increase in revenue generated.

Why not test these changes this preseason? Keep TT around for at least 1 more year and keep us informed of how the effective our ideas are. We're confident you'll change your minds about TT after seeing our ideas generate popularity and revenue, for you.

Because the changes proposed are large, extensive, and require the generation of a lot of assets as part of your pushes to change the jungle, add cosmetics, and create missions for Treeline. That's time, money, and dev effort put into a mode already deemed not worth the time it would take to adjust it...and doubly so if it doesn't work and the mode ends up removed after people have bought TT-specific assets. You either throw out all that money and work and issue large-scale refunds, or you're locked in to keeping Treeline around forever even if the changes are not deemed to have worked. Neither is a good solution.

Additionally, the changes proposed are questionable in several cases even disregarding the formerly raised concerns.

A multimedia PowerPoint presentation is no replacement for actual information about production costs, revenue, metrics, etc. that Riot has access to but you do not, which is probably why they trust their own analyses more than yours.
