Can LoL go the way of Starcraft/Warcraft in terms of custom maps?

On Starcraft and Warcraft you were able to play and create custom game modes. Concepts like URF or Doom bots were created by the community and were free to play at any time of the week. Will we see something like this added to the current custom game modes in the future?

I think it would be fun to play and create RPG maps and tower defense or whatnot.

I dont think so, since League of legend has been badly designed from scratch, and that's why sandbox mod took so long to be implemented.

They would have to rethink the whole "beast" and redesign it. Sure it would be way easier to maintain afterward.

Doubtful. Riot is very protective of the code that's involved with the maps and gameplay, and rightfully so. Instances of a game can only run on their own servers. Allowing map and game mode editors would force them to allow a local game instance to run, which means giving everybody open access to all of the game's assets. It would make it super easy (well, compared to the current level of difficulty) for people to find any vulnerabilities that might exist...

Then they should hire a few hackers to break their code at a local level, like all other big online gaming companies have done.
