Make it snow on the Rift!

If nothing else, I'd love to see a snowy Summoner's Rift this year for Snowdown Showdown. It doesn't need to be as harsh as the Snowdown map of old, but a little bit can go a long way: ice-tipped trees, falling snow and snowflake particles, and blowing wind SFX would make for an awesome atmosphere in my opinion! The hue of the map could also be tuned slightly to make it look whiter/chillier.

Might be a bit too late for this suggestion, but it's worth a shot :)

And you could toggle it on and off if you didnt like it (so we can still have it without people whining about "lag").

Great idea. I love snow so much... Why not make this a permanent thing? Maybe have different effects you could do like snow, rain, etc.

It would have to be VERY subtle, but if so yes, it would be cool.

nice idea but i it shouldnt be that much snow :)

I would be fine with being able to turn it off. My problem is that my eyes have a really hard time processing bright (ie white) objects to the point it's painful to go outside without sunglasses a lot of the time. The videos I've seen of the old snowy Summoner's Rift would definitely make the game unplayable for me.

Riot please do this, doesn't cost much time and a toggle option for those who don't want it ^.^

I'd be fine with snow-coated grounds, but as for tiny little snow particles (probably 200 or so white dots drifting across your screen the whole game) I'm going to have to say No I'd like to play the game with safe FPS the whole match. It's bad enough that right before I'm about to lose all my health, my screen freezes before I'm able to do anything such as flash, deal the killing blow, ignite, use a move in my kit to escape, use zhonias, save my team-mate from meeting the same fate, ect. It would be a whole lot more punishing to me, & many others facing the same prob. (Trust me, I've done, & still do things to try, & solve this problem including the obvious in-game solutions, to the updating drivers, & fiddling with the resolution.)

As has been suggested, they could just make the effects toggleable on/off in the video settings menu to avoid this problem.
