Can Riot add some new maps in the future (for normal 5v5 like the SR), but ... instead of the normal SR we get the diffrnt cities of Runeterra (Ionia, Demacia, Noxus ....) that change randomly ...... that would be cool right ?? i know it's really difficult to make a new map (time and ressources) .. but it's just an idea ...
Jaspers5 votesI wondered if they'd ever do this. Making SR skins that match certain regions of Runeterra to give it a more world feel. Maybe not cities but surrounding areas. In Normals you could vote for a map at the start (not ranked as it might affect gameplay).
So: Shurima - Mostly sand, and sand stone, bushes are reeds and river is oasis like. Demacia - More lush greens and stone is white even marble like. Zaun - This could be in the sewers of the city, walls are made of like pipes and things. Shadow Isles - generally darker, mistier, the greens are replaced by purples. Freljord - well the winter map kind fits already.
Not sure how other locations would work.
It's a nice idea.
Killaburn1 votesi like this
I LAV IT MATE3 votesWell .... maybe that's what i was trying to say .... indeed .. a nice idea
Blu3Jay1 votesI can get behind this! A reskin rather than a whole new map...
Blu3Jay1 votesYeah I Agree, having another 5v5 map in league of legends would be nice. But having cities for battlegrounds just would not fit with lore.
Now having the Great Barrier as a map or like the shadow isles would be cool AF.
I LAV IT MATE1 votesBut we have the Howling Abyss (Freljord) ... and we had the Butcher's Bridge (Bilgewater) before ... so i think it won't affect the Lore very much ... or maybe we can just add them with some events ... to avoid any "LORE CONFLICTS" thing ...
Blu3Jay1 votesHowling abyss is in the caverns of Freljord with no actual people living there. Its also a Battleground Intended for BATTLE
Same Story with Butchers Bridge.
But yeah the whole event idea could work: Like Lets go back to the Noxus Invasion of Ionia. There could be a event with it along with a special map of Ionia (prehaps ruins or something of the sort)
Just Follow these two rules: It can't be in a place where people live and It also has to make sense on why there could be a battle there
That being said If someone like Noxus wanted to invade Zaun, then by all means there could be a map of Zaun
AmetDeCrypt1 voteslore shmore the summoners are already non canon, why can't having something cool just be cool for cool's sake?
AmetDeCrypt1 votesI'd like a city or desert based map for sure. that shouldn't be too hard to design visually right? the only hard step is if it's not just a reskinned SR how do you balance around this new map.
or yknow they could allow custom maps like dota.
Nixtarma1 votesI feel like the flow of a map would be very different, but that is not necessarily bad. For example, a Zaunite Sewer map would probably have angular twisting corridors. This would mean sections of the map would be claustrophobic, like the Twisted Treeline, but this could be offset by small objectives in more open areas to encourage teamfighting.
I imagine a Demacian map with one or more areas made of Petricite, where spellcasting is prohibited (or maybe costs more mana, or something to make it worse).
For Noxus, it would be cool to play with having different elevations. Maybe a tower one person can climb up to get extra range, but is able to be knocked down?
