Petition: Add a Night and Day Cycle to Summoner's Rift

So here is how this will work.

Depending on where you live, Summoner's Rift will have it's time of day adjusted to your location. For example:

6-7AM: Summoner's Rift will have a low fog bank, and sun rays will poke through cracks in walls and trees, along with the Sun poking out from the back of the mountains in the backdrop to the upper left corner of the map.

7AM-1PM: Summoner's Rift will look like how it is now.

1-5PM: Summoner's Rift will be a little more "orange" and objects will cast long shadows.

5-8PM: Summoner's Rift will be a lot darker and the Sun will be descending behind the mountains in the backdrop at the upper right corner of the map.

8PM-6AM: It will be nighttime with maybe some cricket sounds, and little wisps floating around the river.

Any thoughts?

Too many issues with this. One of the biggest ones is that this changes consistency of game by game as some people could be screwed over for any number of reasons by a darker map. In a competitive game both sides must be on an equal playing field so that results are determined by skill rather than fault of game design.

Making it so one side is different than the other completely destroys the competitive aspect even though it's only meant to add to aesthetics.
