New Map: The Caldera

I had this idea for a new 5v5 map that constantly changes and become more dangerous as you play. Basically this new map takes place in a volcano crater that is starting to become more active.

  • After 10min steam vent would start erupting damaging anyone standing on it.
  • At 15min earthquakes will start to happening on a 5min interval, shaking the arena causing rumbles to fall and block off path ways and damaging turrents.
  • At 20min the volcano will start to erupt and start raining down fire to random area on the map.

There will be new large beast to fight like a behemoth that would give you a nice defence buff and some new items to protect you from the inferno.

To sum this up this map is basically a fresh look on summoner rift were riot can try some more ideas that give players more interaction with the arena kind of like what they did with plants

{quoted} turrents.

(They are turrets)

On another note, this will seem interesting for a separate gamemode, but not something that would be around for a while, the rumbling and the falling doesn't seem like a good mechanic either.

Riot generally doesn't like mechanics that have random interactions. They prefer stability for the sake of rewarding preparedness and intelligent decisions. Random rocks or volcano damage would only really serve to interfere with the leading team, seeing as they don't need any random chance to continue to close out a lead.

I agree that the idea sounds superfun, but I could only really see it being an alternate game-mode that's put on their rotating cycle.
