I'm not sure how to shout out people, but Killaburn please take a look. I can provide you more information on the Effects on the plates and their current movement, and how they formed the current topographical features of your Runeterra.

OMG! i love you for helping and supporting me in my map but i can't seem to open imgur now (idk why) bro please use this instead https://megg.ml/ :D and please feel free to put the link of my map in this post if you like so that other pips can see what you are talking about and maybe some may support our idea :D

PS: I hope bioluminescence can see this.

I seeeeee aaaaaaaaall!!!

(I don't actually, but this is about maps, so yeah. Also another Rioter linked me to it before I got into the office this morning :))

I'm tickled that Recons has named the plates - I hadn't thought to do that yet on our map, but maybe I ought. No Ionia yet?

No, sorry I drew that from memory, and didn't leave enough space for Ionia in my paper. Regardless, tbh I'm not even sure I know where Ionia sits exactly, how far from the coast I mean. I would need to know how fast a Runeterran boat moves to make maps to scale, since a lot of the measurements are like... 5 days on boat or 1 day on boat.

I also didn't add Bilgewater... very innacurate, but it's a concept.

Thank for your response!

Ok. Now that i double checked the link and see it clearly; I think you did a great job :D I like the names that you've come up with and you've stick true to the lore. I hope that you could do it too with ionia too. Like make 2 plates together that form/make ionia that it is today(as in my map lol) maybe the other plate is the left side and vice versa because they are separated by a big river( or Epool river in my map) and it should create a diversity to the land of runaterra. BTW, i like what you did to the targoninan plate. It is in between two plates and its like colliding with it forming a great mountain like india as to asia which formed the himalaayas :D nice job.

I thought that map was outdated?

This is really cool. I like all the mountains on the Targonian Plate - it gives some rationale for why the middle part, south of the Vestigial Plate, would be a giant desert.

A recommendation: drop the Vestigial Plate. Rather, have a mid-ocean ridge run down the middle of that sea. That ridge would then be the dividing line between the two plates. Long ago, the Targonian and Valoran plates would have been connected, but they split apart, forming that ocean. For comparison, see the Red Sea or Atlantic Ocean on Earth. Now, I imagine the Rune Wars or some other magic-related catastrophe might have accelerated that process, which would have been really traumatic for the people living on that side of Runeterra.

Have you looked at wind patterns or ocean currents yet?
