New SR looks dark, drab, dreary, flat, plain, cold, gloomy, depressing

Yeah, its been said before, but I still believe its true. I've seen the preview video, the livestream VOD, and the korean "summoners rift evolves" full gameplay video. I just don't dig it. I hate that the art style now feels so similar to another MOBA out there. If I wanted to play that one, I would.

I'm really going to miss the lush bright and welcoming feel of the current map. It honestly makes me want to play more. Please consider warming up the new map. Your fog of war changes just exacerbate the problem (What's wrong with 2 tiers of fog anyway? It's the standard). In the livestream VOD, you temporarily disable all fog and I feel like "Yes, getting there!", then you turn it back on and things immediately go back to gloom. The map with no fog feels like how the map should be WITH fog.

Here's hoping things take a brighter turn. I've stuck with you guys for 4 years now, I know you can do it. Please don't make this game a depressing environment - it's supposed to be FUN!

PS: Just so it's not all hate: I really love the new monsters and their spawn animations, the minor tweaks to the pathing and nav mesh, and the baron/drag hp bars.
