Why do my tower icons look like they were drawn with a crayon?

I also find that the new icon color for the red turrets is harder to see against the background. I am red-green colorblind playing with colorblind mode on and I have to strain to see what turrets are still up for the opposing team. while this isn't a huge deal I feel like it definitely needs more attention. Plz upvote so this gets some attention.

my friend doesn't have a normal toaster he has a wooden toaster powered by a hamster running in a wheel. I don't think the new map should affect the life expectancy of his hamsters though, seeing as each one only lives about 30 minutes before they drop dead of exhaustion.

the map icons do look pretty bulky. maybe a more slim version? not too big of the icons either to be honest

About the "Explore the new Summoner's Rift," I found something... strange. Look into description about the Gromp, read carefully. Having enjoyed League’s fastest growth spurt since Lulu ulted Zac with homeguard boots and six warmogs, Gromp’s quickly made quite the impact on the Rift. Kill the big guy for gold! See anything weird about it?!

Couldnt it be a good idea for a tower to have a sort of AoE damage so a single super tank like rammus couldnt hold the entire aggro while the rest of the team beats it down?

Will the new Summoners Rift include Battle Toads?

For my opinion, we should have 2 summoner rift's map still because every time when i look at the new minions i felt like im playing lego.

My only real question is about the new itemization diversity. Everything is being tuned, tweaked, and prunned to fit what Riot consideres a good experience. I think the majority of the player base agrees with "most" decisions Riot makes. In game, there are 2 items, item 3141 and item 3041 ....this only shows love to AP and AD champs who are far enough ahead to be able to purchase and use these items to their full effect. Why not item for the tanks, for all the bruisers who just want to disrupt stuff? Why do only the AD champs and AP champs get to have an awesome item like this?!?
