Drop Twisted Treeline, Bring Back Crystal Scar

The title says it all. Crystal Scar would make a better permanent map than Twisted Treeline. It's more fun and would get more use because it's objectives are unique. Discuss.

I'm 90% sure if TT didn't have bots and you could not get ranked rewards it would have the same amount of people playing it as crystal scar it.

The bots came from CS, so they just move when the mode was closed.

Also, TT has a much bigger playerbase than CS that's why it's still here.

TT had bots even back when Dominion was around. I probably saw one bot total back on Dominion, and that was when I was playing at some weird hour (0400) and hardly anyone else was on. I've never seen them on TT except in co-op vs AI.

Well yeah, it had some then too same with Aram but the botters seemed to find CS more useful at the time cause of very short matches.

Before it closed down, I started getting queue times of 5-15 minutes, which the 15 or more used to only be seen in draft mode and was suddenly in Blind. It was because the playerbase died down on it pretty bad, and then the matches I would find usually had at least 7-8 bots. So very few actual people for either team and it just wasn't good.

Once it shutdown, the influx of bots surged over to TT which I'll run into a few in blind every now but it drops off after a few games cause the MMR picks up. But you can find them a lot more often if playing CoOp vs Ai more often then not.

Guess I was just lucky, because I used to play Dominion exclusively, on like 3 different accounts, and I only spotted one bot during that time in a normal game. It was a Nami bot that would just run down bot lane and constantly feed. They were everywhere in co-op vs AI though, same with 3v3 now.

The removal of xp gain in customs is what really messed things up I think. That's when the influx of bots started.

I think removing anything at all is a bad idea. Keep TT so that the people who actually main that mode don't get mad, and yes bring back crystal scar.

I have a better idea:

DON'T

Instead rework twisted treeline and crystal scar

As someone that actually plays TT, I also would prefer a permanent Crystal Scar mode, but I see no reason why we should have to choose one or the other.
