Okay, every season has been centered on the rift since the start. Enough already. Time to move to a different map for everything League. Don't care which one. LCS needs to move; balance needs to move; ranked needs to move. Everything. The rift is old, and new champions and metas doesn't cut it as much as new map.
the rift is what keeps league competition alive.
you know treeline has a ranked mode. find people and do that.
I would like it if the "Rift" were more like a bunch of different stadiums. There should be a Shurima version of the Rift, and a Bilgewater version, and one for Noxus and Damacia and wherever else. Professional baseball is played on a standardized diamond, and yet anyone who watches baseball can tell you that no two baseball stadiums are exactly alike. I want the Rift to be like that. This thing where every game is played on the same three lanes in the same hobbit forest seems unnecessarily boring. And it seems pretty obvious that map variance is something the moba community hungers for, in general, because Heroes of the Storm has been fairly successful, and interesting maps are literally the only thing that terrible, junky, game has going for it.
