Yes, the updated Summoner's Rift will indeed have new music. The upcoming login screen music will reveal a little bit of it, and we also used some of it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e_N4WpqH5o

Hey Praeco, what's the situation with League music on Spotify?

Will there be different background musics for each side? What about near dragon/baron or jungle/river background music?

I would love the idea of new music, given I've long since replaced the current one with music from my iTunes library (SORRY TO ANYONE WHO MADE THE MUSIC! It's just not as interesting to hear anymore after the 900th game...)

I'm having trouble concerning one matter though. I heard it had been suggested to make some 'dynamic music' which changes according to the situation. For example, if you're in a fight, the music changes. But what determines if you're in a fight? Would small skirmishes, if not just poking an enemy, have the same impact on the music as going in an all-out-brawl à la Unstoppable Force engage?

I think it would be a tough balance to find. I guess Riot could make it so that attacking an enemy champion continuously for about x seconds could be described as a real fight and hence trigger different music, or something like that.

I personally don't think that siege/poke situations and hardcore teamfights deserve the same kind of music, as one is filled with suspense and the lingering idea that a fight could break out at any moment whereas the other is a legitimate battle in which everything's going to hell. It'd be pretty difficult to tell those apart...

At least that's my concern

Will we now get some epic charge music along with sion's new ult? I already love the new sound and "NOXUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" or some of his other phrases when he charges (he is really br00tal btw O_O) Itd be nice if we had some kinda of war drums type deal to go along with it, aswell as other ults like nocturnes, we could have a spookier tone, and for TF's, something magical

I think the global ulti's need a dynamic track to themselves

ALSO side question: will you ever introduce a champion/skin that changes the in game music/tone to something different as a sign that somebody powerful has joined the rift? For example If SGU was a new champion/skin youd add on a soundtrack to the game that accompanies a powerful warrior trained in four martail art styles , the tiger would be a fast paced music with war drums, the bear would be loud roars of music, the turtle would be protective and calm music, and the phoniex would be POWERFUL as if flames are coming out of the speakers
