Something like this

https://i.gyazo.com/6930b4852a5b8d961c01d6cff6e9949a.png

The idea is fairly simple, mirror Summoner's rift horizontaly, so instead of both teams spawning from Bottom Left and Top Right, they spawn from Top Left and Bottom Right. Why Horizontally? Because I guess would be easier to mirror assests and textures horizontally than making new ones.

Why mirror map? This is something that in any game with a map you spend a lot of hours in is fun. Because you already have the map memorized and ingrained where everything is, how a wall acts, where you must move, mirroring it can actually make you feel you know nothing.

Is a silly simple idea, but for like April's Fool or something it can be very fun.

What do you think?

I'd probably get dizzy lol though I guess that would make it pretty interesting [slayer-jinx-wink]

The real question is, would the bottom and top lane champion choices switch with the map or would they stay in their spots? It would be interesting to have adc and supports fighting top laners on both teams until everyone figures out where people go.

I feel that something like this wouldn't be different enough to be interesting to play on, but still be just different enough to be annoying to remember that everything is flipped.

Imagine if you went back to some city you'd been to years before, and for some reason everyone drives on the other side of the road now. It's still the same place, same sights, same attractions and everything, you just need to think differently to get around.

Imagine a new champion who has something like this as a new form of CC! Confusion/ Disorientation: For a few seconds the map gets mirrored for the affected enemy player, same with every command (using spells, walking, ...) from said player. Just imagine having to overthink every command twice, so you won't flash towards the enemy instead of away from them :D

I got dizzy just from looking at the picture.

But well done on creating an original idea. It's better than "Nemesis draft" and "All Random Summoner's rift".

Almighty.

i like the idea of it for April Fools since URF can now be in RGM instead of yearly.

that's already a thing though. Just turn your screen 90 degrees clockwise.

people would still complain its still just summoner rift but in a diffrent angle which it is

reminds me of nemesis draft, with surprisingly less effort. EXPECT TO SEE IT SOON, SOONER THAN HEXAKILL, WHICH IS GOING ON NOW TO 9 MONTHS OFF ROTATION.....all because 6 players in champ select and the loading screen takes 9 months to implement.....even with the legacy client gone and riot are supposedly more efficient with the new client stuff now :(

if it worked out okay i'd make it the new red side camera angle. more importantly why isnt the game just double mirrored for red side anyway?
