Warmason City Maps

After the insatiable map-demanding part of my brain has been awoken recently, I've been thinking about city maps and how awesome it would be if we had a map for every major city. I'm mostly interested to see a map Zaun and Piltover, since the duality of those cities is fascinating to me.

That's when I remembered something. In the lore a map of Piltover already exists, created by none other than our all-time favorite Noxian warmason, Tamara.

Imagine if we got to see that thing once it's been redrawn (since the original was kinda burned to ashes), complete with annotations of defensible positions, vital buildings to Piltovers defense, possible positions for siege engines, buildings that should be left intact if possible and so on. Not only would it be an awesome thematic for a city map, but it would also greatly reduce the amount of detail required from Riot's side. A hand drawn map would feature black and white colors, only as much detail as necessary, and could reduce civilian buildings to outlines.

And as icing on the cake, the city map is just a teaser for the next new champion, a Noxian warmason support. Please Riot, make it happen.

I'm not sold on this idea from a gameplay perspective.

Warmasons are all about infiltrating a city and having a predominantly non-combat role. Their goal is to copy, learn and maybe destabilize the region they wish to take control of. That doesn't translate well to a gameplay experience where you're expected to be on the frontlines of combat. Not impossible but I don't think it works out too well.

Warmason's as support don't sit with me. they are more scouts/spies mixed with the idea that they would design/build what Noxus needs before, during, and after an attack. i see it but it doesn't sit with me.

what i think would be a good Noxian support is a farmer/plantation owner making the food that lets the War-hosts keep marching. but that just an idea I've been working om.

If we get a map of it then it would mean Noxus's attack on Piltover is coming soon.
