Twisted Treeline and Howling Abyss should get a Summoners Rift level Visual update.

Obviously this takes a lot of resources and time. But for (Probably not midseason next year) Preseason 9 it might be possible.

TT and ARAM dont rake in the numbers but part of that may just be that they simply arent exactly SHOWN. Riot doesnt encourage these game modes.

And people have expressed that the ARAM only Mission for i believe the VS event was the worst mission. However I think Riot could do more to promote them anyway. Like something as simple as show them in Ads for League. And other ways Riot could come up with.

But another way for at least a fair amount of players to play these other maps is simply updating the maps. They look outdated. Sure Howling Abyss looks the best if you compare them. But when you look at the towers you can see how they have aged.

A facelift would be an amazing way to rebreath life into the modes. And they DO deserve it. They both have valid playerbases that would love to see this. As would I and I am not even a large TT or ARAM player.

Also remember the SR beta where we got little somewhat lore based icons for participating. TT and ARAM could get more lore thrown into them as well.

Now we know the Howling Abyss bridge is related to the Frozen Watchers, and Ornn lives nearby. Maybe he constructed the turrets there. Maybe make them all Ornn-like. Or maybe the towers were from the war between the Watchers and the Humans so they could represent that.

Overall it would be nice to see these maps get the beautiful graphics of the rift that those maps deserve.

Bonus points if when these maps come out we get an Ascension or Definetly Not Dominion week with at least a slightly improved Crystal Scar as well.

Please Riot make TT and ARAM great again.

(EDIT: Forgot to add that Lissandra speech on the new HA would be cool too.)

TT just got a VU a few years back, if you think it looks bad now, just look at the old version (old version was waaaaay more fun, though).

Tbh, if they make changes to Treeline, I'd actually like to see them remake the map in the old layout. A lot more people played TT back in those days, and for good reason.

Howling Abyss looks decently modern as is, and someone else already mentioned that Treeline already got upgraded.

Aram looks fine, it follows the same thematic/texture that summoner's rift does and does NOT need and update... and for Twisted Treeline, only bots play it so why does it even matter?

TT and ARAM look really good imo. TT could use a texture update in some areas maybe but the only thing it really needs is new jg mobs.
