I will miss the feels it gave me in the champion select. Was a masterpiece.

While I love the old Draft Pick music - I really love the new version even more. It sounds much better aligned with the new Summoner's Rift music and fits better with the current direction of all the client updates.

Is there any chance of the old music being available in the client options like the old rift music in-game?

I would really appreciate this feature and would be sad if the track just disappeared from the game.

(If you are not on the music team, can you pass the message?)

There is always a chance. And take everything I'm about to say as a HUGE maaaaaaybe. But we are in the early stages of talking about the idea of having customized music in more areas of the game. Like with Summoner's Rift music you can choose the new version or the classic version if you'd like. We really like the idea of doing the same for other areas and offering even more options - like, what if there were 4 options for Team Builder lobby music or 4 options for Draft Pick? What about a DJ Sona themed one? Could be cool? Could not be. Like I said, nothing official, nothing definite but we are all talking about what we could do and what is going to be the coolest execution of these ideas. Like any new idea or initiative, it might end up being the wrong direction and decide to not pursue it.

Is it possible to get the choice of music for Twisted Treeline? I loved the classic Twisted Treeline music and would absolutely love to be able to select it while playing.

I just feel that the new musics(both of em) are too soft. Not in a volume sense, but they don't have the energy that the old ones had. Too many lulls and too many notes being held for too long.

Heck, I love humming the current blind pick music as I go about my day some times. (ba ba BA babaBA ba ba BA babaBA, gotta love that drum)

And, honestly, I feel that the draft mode music wouldn't been a great opportunity to remix the original LoL theme in it to be more prominent. It's been so long since you've actually played that song, and I feel that a LOT of the new players will have never even heard it before. :(

But where is the classic LoL theme going? Why is it being phased out from everything except DJ Sona?

How about other maps then?

While it is very much more in line with the new summoner's rift music, it's rather discordant with the in gmae music tracks of Crystal Scar, Twisited Treeline and Howling Abyss.

Are there plans to have individial Champion select tracks for each Field of Justice?

I have to agree with this. I listened to the new one, and it just does not have the feel of the current one.

I way prefer the current draft music and will really miss it...

Agreed, but what really bugs me is that the new draft music has no connection to Summoner's Call, which I believe was supposed to be the "theme" of League of Legends. Summoner's Call was a brilliant piece of music and I was very happy that its theme occurs in champion select, and to remove it is to remove a very real part of the game for me - especially because it occurs in so many other pieces of music that Riot's created. Hell, Sona's Q plays a version of the Summoner's Call theme.

Now, this is my knee-jerk reaction, so take it with a grain of salt. But I HOPE that Riot changes course and does not replace the original music.

I understand what you're saying.

I don't know what other people think... but for me, the new champion select musics are...flat and soulless. I even tried to repeat listening to them a few times to get something, but I just felt..nothing.

Meanwhile the old ranked music really made my imagination fly.

I am not sure why blind and draft pick music Need To Be Changed in the first place. I am not sure why Summoner's Call theme must be changed.

I'm also disappointed with the new lore.
