Petition to keep the Bilgewater ARAM map in circulation
Please give us a 50/50 chance of battling in either Bilgewater or the Freljord when queueing up for ARAM.
Please upvote this if you agree!

What do we want? A map worth fighting for!
Yes, including the Gangplank VO for Butcher's Bridge.
I agree was going to start this thread myself.
#So much work and art assets went into that map
When you queue for ARAM the map you get should be RANDOM!
I agree. It seems like a waste that so much effort was put into making that really cool map and have it vanish after one event.
Rotating between the two maps is a pretty good idea.
I understand that we need our daily exposure to 
's Rito, but can't there be some love for those cute exploding rats as well? (Someone give me the official name please, thank you :( ) I mean, even this totally random stranger agrees:
WE NEED MORE EXPLODING RATS
I'm honestly surprised that wasn't the plan initially. Please, Rito, let us have our cake and eat it too!
ARAM Should be random. Whats more random than even having a random aram map.
Also all those Bligewater assets seam like thy would go to waste.
The bilgewater map is 100x better than Freljord. I dunno why they even took it away...
i really like the freljord map i would be so happy if we could keep both but if it comes down to it i prefer the freljord
Yeah I fully support that,the new map looks fantastic and I think having both in rotation would be awesome.
I actually like that idea.
I thought you were going to go something like having 2 separate Aram choices so there would be 2 queues for each map, but having 50/50 sounds pretty nice
New game mode is understandably probably not coming back, but they should keep this map as it isn't really tied to the event, it's just an area :)
All of my upvotes to this.
That map got so much effort done it deserves all the credit.
I'd support that, Riot said it had plans to bring back Butcher's Bridge one day. Perhaps enough feedback might convince them about this option
PLEASE.
It was honestly the best map and I also HATE the shopkeepers in Freljord. STFU please
i'd rather have just a reworked howling abyss map :/ Its iconic
Both maps are functionally the same, so this sounds like a fantastic idea. Maybe even rework the announcer on Howling Abyss to be done by Lissandra too, that would be cool. Pun intended.
I see literally no reason why they can't do this...
A few months ago they asked to fill out a survey to see if would be a good idea have Butcher's Bridge as a Map skin that would cost 1350 RP. I disagreed with the idea we have to pay to use a map skin, but thought having the skin free for players would be great.
WHERE DO I SIGN!?

I have no idea why this would get down voted, this is an amazing idea.
The event is long over, meaning the lore involving this event is over as well. Bringing the map would be a little weird.
I think it should be apart of the rotating gamemode queue tbh... any1 else?
Yes please this would be so awesome.
I did not expect this much of a response. Wow!
Keep this map yo.
All random. Never said the map couldn't be.
I'd much rather they just release map skins. They'd even make money off of it. Perfect solution.
And we could have Halloween and Snowdown maps for SR.
That would be so cool
There should be a simple vote mechanic at the start of each ARAM game, where you can vote either of the maps for that specific game. if it goes 5-5, well, any ideas for that? Will it just randomize?

This post 600 upvotes, no red post, and it's on it's way to "the archive." Maybe they heard and just didn't respond.
Yes to this. There's no reason why all this art should go to waste. Break the monotony of ARAM by allowing Bilgewater to be seen in the queue!
This thread is the top-rated thread EVER of the Story & Art forum, with another thread now on the front page of "Bests" for the same topic, still we have no answers from Riot... what gives?
This is a good idea, because if the maps are random it promotes the randomness of the entire mode, and reminds the people who get some very good or very bad random champion selections, that it is ALL random chance.
Then we could introduce a system where a new ARAM map is featured for a while, then it becomes part of the regular map rotation.
It would be nice to be able to play on the Bilgewater map/Howling Abyss at random. Like with the Harrowing/Snowdown Showdown maps had a 50/50 chance of being the map when you played during their events.
I want the Gangplank voice. So majestic 
League of Bilgewater, Gyaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Take all my Upvotes. I would LOVE to get to Bilgewater again, i would also love it to have the Gangplank VO and Bilgewater Music. This map deserves to be shown more often that just for one event.
