Weather in Summoner Rift

Does anyone else wish for aesthetic weather? I personally would be really excited to see random weather effects on summoners rift, of course it would raise problems with certain machines not being able to run it, but since its only for aesthetics I would hope that one could toggle it on or off. Just imagining joining a game and having a thunder storm or other such weather phenomena makes me even more excited to play League, I think that it would add a whole new element to the game that brings fun along with it. I thought of this idea when I saw the new update to the dragon, and I thought about weather being present as well. I have several ideas for what weather could be implemented, obviously there would be normal stuff, like rain, snow, or even just a overcast gray, but besides that, Runeterra is a magical place. Thus there is infinite amounts of possibilities for weather conditions, maybe one game there is a fire storm, or some sort of darkness, and finally my personal favorite a MAGICAL storm. Imagine getting to the rift and having it look like the battle you are fighting determines the fate of the world. I think there is an insane amount of potential here and I truly hope that Riot catches wind of this, thank you for reading and I believe if we can attract Riot we can make this happen! PS I am more than happy to discuss this with people and honestly I would love to have someone share their ideas with me

clarity.

Two problems I can think of the top of my hat: Clarity: either the effect is visually impressive and takes away clarity or to tame to really impress. Ressources: Creating those effects takes money and time for Riot without any real way to get it back

That said it would be interesting to see, it's just extremly unlikely

Sounds great. how about new champs that have passive abilities that make them stronger during specific weather?

No but seriously, I'd like seeing some sunshine and some clouds in the rift.
