Adding the "little stuff"/ Other opinions

I'd like to start by saying i kinda like the direction of the new rift. im not entirely sold on the look just yet for a few reasons

1. color palette

   • the bases looks great, i have pretty much no arguments against them for color.
   • The lanes like the bases look fine, good depth and colors. but i would say that the ~~c ~~ colors are almost too dull and neutral.
   • Jungle is where im most concerned. looking at whats been released on video it isn't
     very appealing. the concept of near baron and not near baron corruption is cool it just doesn't look great. while one side has a very appealing and brightened color palette the
     other is super dull and boring. also the dirt paths are way to separated. so what i mean is that it looks like you put a dirt road in the jungle on top of the grass

   -** on another note**, for the jungle colors. saying that having them with different colors will enable players to know where they are better doesn't hold up very well. maybe if there were many maps to play on or it was a HUGE map that yes this would be useful. but that just isnt the case summoners rift is what people play on almost all the time so after a few times playing through they know what up.

the little things

• base, good, you got little flowers n' stuff here and there. the "map" outside the rift has a good light colored contrast to the base's own. i like this ( suffice it to say i like the base)

• Lanes, could be better (maybe), but the engraved stones are a good touch as well as the little stuff added to the sides

• jungle, again very dull because of the color palette. the lack of "the little things" is very off putting in the new jungle. i know that you guys are trying to work with that whole baron theme but there has to be something.

Jungle and lane Creeps/Mobs

• lane creeps, are pretty good not much to say about that. except for the whole purple to red thing. red is a very dominant color so if something like the health bars get bunched up it looks like a mess. ( also i like the purple, blue/red is used so much by everything nowadays)

• Jungle Mobs, sigh* i want to like them but just cant. i do like the wolves/blue/red though they look cool. but the other ones not so much. First the names, why do they have to be weird names like c'mon yes razorbeak isn't very weird but if you think of it in a game play perspective its a lot easier to say and relate thing to what they are (Golem, wraiths, wolves, blue, red, big wraith. i and many of the people i play with found it annoying to say wight) Personally i didn't even know blue and red had names. second the look of the creatures, the frog thing as i'm now calling it looks alright but the razorbeaks look like you dragged them from the avatar the air bender series where every animal was a mix between two other animals, they dont look like they belong anywhere. the rock things replacing golems arnt very awesome, they just look like they're there. again the name i remember sounding ridiculous.

in conclusion id say the thing keeping me from being excited about this is the jungle.

also want to thank the art teams and guys at riot for trying to create a better place to play. i know that you guys spent an enormous amount of time to roll this out but critiques are the best way to better a project in my mind
