Hey all,

I've seen a few discussions requesting the return of the winter map. It's obvious that with all the gfx changes to the rift that a winter map already would be a tall order. That said, could we at least have the snow rift MUSIC/AMBIANCE over the current rift? It's very thematic of Christmas/winter and is honestly some of the most beautiful sound design in the entire game, and being a sound editor/audio engineer I really miss it.

I can say for certain it won't be making an appearance this year on the Rift.....sorry =/

BUT, you can hear the vintage Winter SR music in the Poro King game mode!! =)

Caaan you say the Winter map will be returning next year?? =3 I want it =c I never got the chance to play on the Winter map, especially considering I only joined last July and have only heard about the snow map.

Edit: On a serious note, what would it take to bring it back?? Out of curiosity.

Please please please please please please keep it as an option in the sound settings! Like the classic rift music is! This song would be great for the Howling Abyss in ARAM! That said, it made my month when i entered the game mode and heard it! I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF MUST PLAY MORE PORO MODE FOR THE MUSIC AND CUTE POROS! Thanks so much for bringing the song back, it really made my day!

While sadly we can't promise anything right here right now, I just want to say I really like this idea. We have the tech in SR now to be able to switch between the music tracks and we have the old Winter SR music already working in Howling Abyss...why not make it an option? I personally am a big fan of the old Winter SR music and think it would be a nice treat for players. Ponder of this I will

Any chance we can have a camera flip for the new SR? I understand that players are expected to play in unlocked camera in purple side, but I get motion sickness and hence; I have to play in locked. This would help me greatly. ):

I do much better on blue side as I am more at ease.

There is no reason in which you cannot bring that music to the Rift.
