@Riot, Artists. What is Dominion's future aesthetically?

Seeing the loading screen graphic for Dominion on the PBE I can't help but wonder what will be done to the place once you decide to revisit the abandoned town. The loading screen art looks really good! Although, it seems a bit...vague? What I mean to say is, it could easily have been meant to depict a different place than the Kalamanda we know. For instance, it could have been representing a Shurima-adjacent area. That would be really neat! In some ways Dominion feels a bit lacking visually and disconnected from Runeterra.

So, Artsy Rioters, have you talked at all about revisiting the place, and what would you like to do with it aesthetically if you do?

I was pondering making a post about this myself, but was unsure about it.

Personally, I'd like to see them to emphasize the connection the Crystal Scar had with Skarner and make it a map set around the entrance to his home. Basically Shurima it up if that makes sense.

The obvious problem is that that would ruin the whole Kalamanda thing, but that's likely not so canon anymore, so I feel like revisiting the entire aesthetic and deciding where the Crystal Scar exists in Runeterra now would be a good thing.

I imagine people wouldn't be happy about such a change though.

Preferably Shuriman, maybe replace Dominion with an Arena type map or Ascension mode.
