I think i would be awesome if they would introduce weather into the game ... such as Rain and Snow at random times while playing..... While playing and rain is coming then the sky would get darker and it would rain... etc for all weather.

You know they could just make it an option to add it in, and not have the toasters blow up when trying to run it.

AH, they COULD do that my dear friend! Unfortunately, that's the logical approach.

If you're OK with all of the terrain looking bright and sunny while the "sky" is cloudy, yes.

Riot mentioned when they redid Summoner's Rift that the lighting is painted onto the textures. Things like Weather would require them to re-make every texture for the map. Honestly, if they're doing that, I'd much rather have it as a seasonal skin rather than as something that fluctuates between 3-4 conditions every game.

throughout the map would be a great idea, but i dont know how it would effect others when playing like with lag/ping. but to an extent it does do this already. but only in the jungle! i know there is one spot where it rains! no snow, but thats probably because it doesnt fit. if anything snow should probably be available during winter!

please, no...this would add so much to the graphics card requirements for league and would increase lag even more whenever the weather changed...riot's bad enough off with just server issues

There used to be an official Snow SR during the winter.

It had quite a lot of snow particles, I had a bad PC but I was 100% fine.

I know that, now imagine the stress on graphics cards of having an entire complex map replacing itself with that kind of weather effect

It can just be optional. Like shadows

Actually I believe there is rain falling in one of the blue buff areas. Not 100% sure on it though, it's a small detail and I might have imagined it

Skyrim modders have done a nice job making weather part of a massive game like Skyrim, wouldn't be hard to add this to a top down, single angle, game with only one popular map that is static in design. It would take time, but it's probably never going to happen because it wouldn't make them any money, unless you had to pay for weather packs with RP :/

Just like last time.

Game has a visual style centered around clarity, weather tends to do the exact opposite, Disrupting clarity. This alone is why they won't add it.

Other reasons include craptops not being able to run the game properly, this adding nothing to the game other then 1 moment for a player to go "cool" then completely forget it's there because they have to ignore the weather to pay attention to the game.

Having the option to disable or not changes nothing.

I just want the seasonal map re-skins to come back.

Yeah, we need more stuff that is completely useless but requires more download and slows down your computer. Why didn't Rito think of this sooner?

It would be cool if it was an occurrence if a Janna was in the game, but I'm not sure if ppl with lag will like it

Dynamic weather would probably create a lot of stress on lower-end machines, which account for a huge portion of the League community.

Riot should definitely bring back Seasonal maps though, or create different instances of summoners rift with different themes. That would be super fun and enjoyable across the board.

EDIT: different shaders for day/night might work without a hitch on weaker machines too but im no expert >_>;

the league we have right now on highest graphics is pretty bad which is kinda sad, like you invest in a "gaming computer" for nice graphics and smooth gameplay and on one of the most popular games in the world the best you can get in terms of graphics is mediocre...

More like League of Lag. Have you played Minecraft?

I guess you're right.... But you can make it an option to turn it off or not.
