day, evening, and night map changes?

can the map have a different color shade for the time of day? like...in the morning the map is the brightest, the evening it gets lighter with kinda orangey hue? like a sunset! and then when its night time it can be slightly darker but it'll have fireflys and cute night time stuff. of course it'll have to be made it doesnt interfere with gameplay.

Kind of, at night fog of war will be a little too dark for players if it's shaded, but this is a real good concept that I never really thought about...

Nah seems like too much of a cheap gimmick to me, like it adds nothing but a nice aesthetic..pointless but still nice to see I guess.

On the other hand I like your idea about map skins which is cool and all (not that you are the first to suggest it). But I'm sure a lot of people can or will tell you just why that particular dream is highly unlikely, at least any time in the near future. Best case scenario is once Riot irons out their lore and bring all old champs up to standard then after that they could be open to doing just about anything.

Ultimately I say keep dreaming friend, I admire the enthusiasm.

Would be amazing to have imo.

Perhaps this could be implemented to normal blind and draft games since some folks won't like any changes to the map during a ranked game; however, I don't see why not for a fun game mode. I'd love this idea personally!

Only problem is making the place look different might confuse people when a Nocturne is on the enemy team or something like that.

If u want that go play Dota 2.This is League of Legends, sh*t graphics but fun gameplay.

It would be an interesting idea, but the feeling I get is that from what you're saying, the look of the map would be based on your computer's clock. Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I'm getting from this. I think that it would work best if the look was chosen at random each time a game was started.

So, one time, you might get a game on SR where it's early morning, and the sun is just rising. Then, the next time, it might be in the dead of night, with lanterns strung around the map to illuminate the area. Then, in a third game, it's afternoon, and the orange hue of the afternoon sun permeates throughout the Rift. But I like the idea, I really do! I've also had thoughts of alternate 5V5 maps that have the same idea of SR, but a unique look that might tie in with future Lore events.
