I'm actually positive there's got to be a way to calculate this since one Teemo (100 units) is already a measurement. Figure out Teemo's diameter, calculate the # of units from end to end, there's your answer.

I think its easier to get some Pantheons and TFs and measure the size via their ult radiusses. Then translate it into Teemos, and look how big Teemo (probably) would be. Maybe compare to average human size ingame. Ezreal could be one candidate I'd think

I mean if its anything to go off of, the area covered in the fighting in "A new Dawn" is pretty darn big, added to the fact the nexus was still far away.

Given the fact it's two ruined military bases bases on a mountain top, it stands to reason the area encompassing the bases, river and forest is at least town sized or bigger. Baron's pit is probably the size of a large house on its own, while its territory in to the river would encompass a street of equivalent size to the house or larger.

I guess.

I'd be willing to bet about 2 football fields - half of one covering the top lane third, an entire covering the mid third, and the other half covering the bot lane third. No, not European Football, but AMERICAN. It would be 57,600 feet².

So, my estimate would be 115,200 feet² or something along those lines.

It doesn't exist.

I mean, as far as I know, Summoner's Rift isn't actually a place. None of the maps are.

Or maybe they are?

Riot really hasn't been very clear on the matter.

No they are, I mean the Howling Abyss is critical to Freljord's history. The Crystal Scar exists as an area in Shurima now, the Twisted Treeline is located on the Shadow Isles and Summoner's Rift is...somewhere. Probably closer to Freljord than Shurima if you get me.

The rift was stated by Reds as no longer existing in setting.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was a real place but retconned to just be a random battle field outside the realm of reality. It USED to be a place that was so severely corrupted by the magic of summoners and wars that they had to block it off from the rest of the realm. I thiiink.

I think either the rift is an ancient battleground somewhere near the middle of the continent(probably close to demacia, considering the foliage), or if we consider old lore, maybe even a created pocket demension.
