A Real Life Summoner's Rift
My girlfriend posed a question to me that i thought about broke down and wanted to see who thought what of it.
She wanted to know why there wasn't a life size rift. good question this is a world wide game with amazing community and cosplay.
So i wanted to see mathematically if it was possible to have one big enough to walk around and see things and not feel crammed into the Reddit's definition of
the Teemo
unit of measure which would have made a rift 160m by 160m. Thinking about the champs, lanes, camps, Dragon, and Barron.. i realized that would be one tiny ass Barron and i see him
as some 20m tall super behemoth of a creature. and that just didn't pan out for me.
So, after i spent a couple 220 min match messing around with TF
to gauge spacing with his ult, i came to this conclusion.
given: 1 SRu (Summoner's Rift Unit) = 0.1 Meter, Bot lane is on the X-Axis (0 Degree), Top lane is at the Y-Axis (90 Degree) then: 1 Meter = 10 SRu
Form the end of the spawning area and headed down mid lane (@ at 45 Degree Angle, and in a straight line) Mid lanes dimensions are as follows (approximately)
1830 SRu to center of Nexus 1900 SRu to Nexus Turrets (offset on the center of nexus by 22.5 degrees plus And minus) 5250 SRu to Center of Mid Inhib 5375 SRu to Center of Mid Inhib Turret 5500 SRu to base wall 7030 SRu to center of Mid Lane 2nd Turret 9240 SRu to center of Mid Lane 1st Turret 11040 SRu to the Center of Mid Lane
5250 SRu to Center of Bottom Inhib 5375 SRu to Center of Bottom Inhib Turret 5500 SRu to base wall 7650 SRU to Center of Bottom Lane 2nd Turret 11520 SRu to Center of Bottom Lane 1st Turret 15610 SRu to Center of Bottom Lane (without the Map Curvature)
Of course the above Bot lane constraints apply to top lane but again against the 90 degree axis.
Lanes 10m to accommodate what would hold turrets, minions, and champions with some movement room. All turrets would be approx 5m tall, have a base circumference of 3m, and off set accordingly to stay true to the SR Map.
the Jungle i haven't worked out the distances and the measurements but suffice it to say that there would be enough room to stay true and be on scale with how you would envision it.
Of course this is just the outline and the bare bones of it all. the Length and Width of it all is 15,610 x 15,610 = 243,672,100 SRu^2 Into the scale in which this would be translated it would be approximately 1.561 Km^2. Which translating that into more Laymen's Terms, about 1 square mile in real life.
I understand this point of view would be a little on the more higher end side considering every champion would be running almost 34 meters/sec. But to me this would be a great idea to bring into actual life as an amusement or tourist attraction considering how big League is and how cool it would be to be able to walk an Actual Rift with Life size turrets, the nexus', Champions made of any material in a full body cast like a pantheon of gladiators we all love and play as.
TL;DR: I want to see if there is any interest in this as a place for people to meet with other people who they may have never met before and to be able to be a part of the Rift in a way only Riot could deliver.
