RTX in League: Stupid or good idea?

Do you think to improve Leagues longevity, Riot would need to add an ray tracing option? New skins help improve the look of the game, and the art style really helps the game age. Regardless, as computers become more powerful people generally expect more.

As the Minecraft demo shows, adding ray tracing in games that had simple lighting, even with block art style, gives a huge improvement to the visuals. My instinct tells me that with all the particle effects, teamfights in League would look bonkers with RTX enabled.

Not necessarily good for competitive play (although it would make spectating more interesting), but it would be a fun option for people who don't care, and we know that shiny games attract players.

Or maybe I'm just trying to find more ways to justify buying a 2080 before the buyers remorse kicks in.

Probably not worth the dev's time, given that only a small percentage of players would be willing or able to take the performance hit.
