Are we ever going to see Butcher's Bridge again?

I loved the Bilgewater event. Everything about it, the theme, the lore, the music (god, the music) - the entire execution was immensely entertaining - and I was expecting the map to stay for good just like the Howling Abyss after the Freljord event. It's been a few weeks now and there doesn't seem to be any indication that we'll ever be seeing it again, and I feel as though it's really a shame to see all that effort just... disappear. The community is always talking about how they'd love to see more of Runaterra. @Riot ; do you believe it would be possible to add Butcher's Bridge to the ARAM queue, and have it alternate/random between Freljord and Bilgewater?

Why would any company make something and only allow people to use it for a few weeks.

Revlak Javik8/22/2015, 11:15:39 PM10 votes

The music... yes...

Gangplank chorus was the best

Don't forget to comment and upvote guys - Riot isn't likely to notice this if there isn't any interest!

I dont want Butcher Bridge to be an RP skin, or a skin at all. Just randomize to pick of one or the other ARAM map, wouldnt be too hard to do.

I agree I love the map too, it would be great if like you said it randomly picked between the two maps, adding slightly more randomness to the ARAM

I love Howling Abyss, but I really wish these skins were random. Or at the very least make HA the winter skin and BB the summer skin.

I moved and didn't have wifi during that even so I never got to play it :( It looked really cool though. Also want that pirate announcer #RitoPls

MilfHuntUnitXJ98/24/2015, 12:14:19 AM2 votes

To add onto this - option to change the announcer and BGM to gangplank + bilgewater.. comeon

pinkyblossom8/22/2015, 10:03:42 PM2 votes

I hope not. I really didn't like it. I gave it a shot but I didn't like it.

And I like the more the idea of playing on:

A bottomless crevasse surrounded by an ancient fortress carved into a glacier. No one remembers who built this place. No one knows its purpose

Than on a bridge in a stinky town, really didn't liked the gray-green surroundings. And those ugly rats that ware supposed to be like poros...

The only thing that i liked on that map ware the new turrets. Wish the Howling Abyss had its own turrets.

Are you willing to give up the HA for BB? I mean with you rather never more played on the Abyss so u can play on BB?

here it is, see it again.

More map skins would be awesome (I know the main map is a little boring sometimes). But how would it be chosen? Would people vote on the map before the match? If they were bought then only one person would need to buy a map to give that option.

It'd be better for free maps.

LordBrasca8/25/2015, 5:40:54 PM1 votes

They could make it a random map for aram (so that you either get howling abyss or butcher's bridge) and make the music switchable from the settings (like before where you could select classic-updated-bilgewater). I don't know why they trashed everything like that.... Such an huge waste.

Decrit8/22/2015, 10:04:11 PM1 votes

Probably it will be seasonal?

I would not mind having it as a skin tho... but i am not.completely sure if that tech is done so it can be a skin.

Cindikle8/22/2015, 7:40:41 PM1 votes

Should be a skin you can buy for the map.

Riot can add it to the "free rotation" for every once in a while to give people a taste.

People have been asking for maps/announcers for a long time. It took a while to get ward skins. I can't imagine map skins being cheep though.

Maybe with the new client we'll see more of this stuff.

Edit: Would love to see more of this in the future too. Imagine a TT map/mode for a lore event where you have to corrupt/save the forest there. Starting off as a lush forest. Turning into the TT we have now as the undead side takes over. Then the lush map becomes something you can buy. Map could go on a "free rotation" as a cycling event like we have now with URF/Hexakill/One for All.

If Riot doesn't bring it back, i'm happy to use a mod that changes Howling Abyss into Butcher's Bridge.
