I have an idea for RIot to capitalize on for Summoners to spend IP/RP on

Why not release skins for minions, jungle camps, turrets, Dragon, Baron, scuttle, nexus, inhibitor, and red/blue side maps variants(ie. beach, snow, etc.)? All of the concept artwork shown was amazing. Personalizing the Rift would be awesome to do. I thought about this when you could switch the colors of minions between red/blue. They could be unlockable the same way champions are, with IP/RP. And some could be gained through events. I don't really think that Summoner Icons are that big of a deal, as I am not even looking at the loading to see what people earned/bought. I'm checking for Summoner Spells and figuring out my game plan. The way of unlocking them are intuitive and can potentially be implemented in a more interesting, and rewarding for the players.

I don't think that the banners are even close to far enough. It's good for branding purposes and showing your support, but not really much else in my opinion. We read a lot of lore about what these places look like and see videos. If we could bring that in game I think it would be more impactful than a jersey, which is what these banners essentially are. They talked about bringing customizable color swatches/palettes ages ago for champions and it would be nice to see something done elsewhere in the game since we hardly ever get new maps. And people, like me, spend most of the time playing in Summoner's Rift especially in Ranked Mode.

It would be nice to spice it up.

EDIT: Here's a link to a post I made on Reddit yesterday. There were some good ideas there as well.
