Riot, it's time to start selling Map skins.

I'd be willing to pay a 4 didgit RP price for a night mode Summoner's rift.

Or the Blood moon rift.

Or any other special map skins Riot has done and could do. It's bad enough that we're limited to 3 (maximum 4) maps, but also being limited to the same design? This is unacceptable for a game that claims to be "modern".

I'd also like to see a Demacia/Noxus split map skin, similar to the Battlefield of Eternity from HOTS.

This game can be so much more. League has incredible lore and the world of Runeterra is filled with magical and unique places, yet we only get to see 3 of them at a time. Personalization in League is laughable compared to the competing DOTA and HOTS. Hell, they even sell ANNOUNCER PACKS, meanwhile, we're stuck with the same old lady since 2009, getting new announcers only on special events.

It's time to improve! It's time to evolve!

And then they would add Prestige Maps for 10k RP.

I'd love Faction Themed map skins, such as one that makes it look like your in the highlands on Ionia, or the frozen tundra of the Freljord.

Hots has no items and DOTA has such little customization without mods that it makes Palladins look decent. Whatcha talking about?

I'm not supposed to say this, but, season 9 will have so much content besides skins, you won't be able to count them. Zero, cause you can't count zero, zero is the absence of something countable.

Now, on a more serious note, I think a lot of things will come to League this year. But first, they should give us free Blood Moon Capsules, because of all that 1 BE drama. I'm entitled to it, cause I'm a League player, you too, everyone is entitled. Entitled as in inherently deserving because we are players inside a community, not special treatment, cause we special.

Unlike league, You can actually mod dota, make maps for dota, play more gamemodes than league, Make new gamemodes for dota. Woah so bad compared to league.

And it's time for Riot to sell minions. It's 100 RP per minion and for player's convenience you can buy minions in-game. Of course because of this amazing feature Riot should also remove the normal spawning minions.

As much as i adore this suggestion, it would be years before Riot consider to implement it. They will probably make up some excuse about how their prehistoric client code cannot handle map skins or something about "resources". I mean, they cannot even bother to update the death recap. But by all means, they'll keep shoving pointless emotes and golden chromas down our throats.

How would this even work? What happens if like your support picked Magical Unicorn Wonderland, Top picked HELLISH FIRESCAPE, and Mid picked Blood Moon? Who get the map skin? How is this manageable for organized play, where there's the potential for map skins to have distortions or color schemes that can make particular skins or particles difficult to see?
