Summoner's Rift Skins (Xpost from Maps & Modes)

I think it would be neat if you guys came up with "skins" for Summoner's Rift. Similar to how there used to be a Harrowing and Snowdown Showdown theme for the rift, except there's more options, you can unlock them permanently, and they cost RP.

Just off the top of my head, you could have skins for:

Shurima
The Shadow Isles
Frejlord
The Void
A Battlecast/Mecha skin
A Magma Chamber skin

Obviously this would take a lot of time and work (especially considering the new design direction for Summoner's Rift) to make sure that it was as "balanced" as the other skins in terms of readability. I would be willing to pay a large sum of money for one of the skins and I think other players would as well.

This isn't anything I would expect anytime soon since y'all just rolled out the beautiful new SR, it would just be something nice to look forward to in the future.

TL;DR: Rito, it would be nifty if you would add Summoner Rift skins to the store. You would make a lot of money and people would get to customize the game more.

Not sure about the coding necessary for this... would each player see only their own map skin, or would the game randomly select a map skin from the choices of all players who have one?

Nonetheless, I think this is a great idea, and I would absolutely buy map skins.

I hadn't considered that fully.

I'm leaning towards it would need to be that only you could see it. Otherwise you might have a bit of an edge against players that hadn't practiced on that map skin before.

That would also be more of incentive to buy the skin, otherwise you could enjoy everyone else's SR skin.
