Blatant, Offensive Map Favoritism

It's gotten offensive at this point. I'm furious after reading the patch notes. Riot doesn't even pretend to give a shit about anything but SR and sometimes ARAM. They still never added Negatron Cloak back onto Moonflair Spellblade, but Orb of Winter gets to use it. Van Damm's still gives 25% crit chance, while IE was reduced to 20% long ago. Twin Shadows costs 100 gold less in 3s because of the change to the cost of Aether Wisp. They just never thought to increase the cost of the 3s version of Twin Shadows. The fact that they even removed BFT when they got rid of DFG is nothing short of a miracle.

Riot, why even have other maps if you flat out refuse to keep them up to date? I'm not even saying that TT needs base gates and all of the other new stuff that SR gets, I'm just asking that UNIVERSAL FUCKING CHANGES be reflected... UNIVERSALLY.

Jungle camps on TT had their respawn time doubled AND GIVE THE SAME EXP THEY GAVE BEFORE, how godamn dumb is that, they destroyed jungling for like 4 months now and don't even bother to check if its working, you either take dual lane in ranked or get instantly rekt in the jungle since you can't even get to lvl 2 before everyone on the other side pushes and invades your jungle the whole game.

The fact that Mark Merrill hasn't hosted an angry "I GET SO ANGRY WHEN PLAYERS CLAIM WE ONLY CARE ABOUT SUMMONER'S RIFT A.M.A." on Reddit just shows that Rito James™ doesn't care enough about the other maps/modes to act all indignant about the accusations that Rito James™ doesn't care about the other maps/modes.

3 months later after Negatron got re-added though.

It's not like it's a new development that Riot only cares about SR. The other maps have pretty much always been ignored. Riot has gotten worse over the years about it though. They seemed less biased before they started ending every news post with "See you on the Rift." "See you on the Fields of Justice" at least vaguely reminded people that there was more than one map in League. Even the directory for this board, ostensibly intended to discuss every and all maps in the game, is named "summoners-rift."

On the other hand, it did only take them one patch to remember that NLR isn't available on Dom and TT. New Luden's Echo version is already on PBE right after the patch removing it. That's kind of an improvement in turnaround speed.
