@ManWolfAxeBoss Preseason items on the other maps (Howling Abyss, Twisted Treeline, Crystal Scar)

I agree with solution 2 as "spirit" fits much better for theme of the TT map than the new ones present on summoner's rift

By the way--I know that a particularly egregious Vilemaw bug from the first iteration of preseason changes on PBE was fixed. Did a bug that was causing Chalice/Grail/Crucible to grant much more mana regen than they should when combined with the Crystal Scar/Twisted Treeline's map auras get fixed?

Have you thought about gathering a group of volunteer theorycrafters who would discuss such matters and give you some input on the issue, or even fabricate some band-aid solutions so that you don't have to? Having some people voice different opinions on the subject could be very helpful and save you some time. I mean, if such a group existed right now, they'd highlight all those things for 4.20 already (I've posted about it on PBE boards, but it's a hit or miss with getting through to people responsible for it).

I mean, the Boards or Reddit are great for highlighting very specific issues, but any more "hard" discussion gets lost below sea of memes, nerf cries and bug reports. If you created a "We fix Dominion" or "We balance Twisted Treeline" or "We fix immobile burst mages" think tank of 10-20 players, after a while they'd at least come up with something Riot employees responsible for it could talk about when moving forward with their own plan - even if the issue is not a hot topic and there is no plan in the works right now.

Members of a such "think tank" could also be encouraged to explain game systems whenever a question is raised on Boards by other players. It made my day when my high activity on the PBE boards made one of the users think I'm a Rioter. Replying to every possible question by Rioters isn't possible by any means, but by introducing "middlemen" the communication could greatly improve in its reach (this could probably fix many other communication issues, the whole Narrative backlash could be contained by creating such a group with CupcakeTrap in it).

The one very moment I felt like my feedback matters was when my notes about previous iteration of jungle enchantments (Warrior having lifesteal instead of CDR, Magus with absurd power spike, Juggernaut with unfairly difficult build) were heard by Riot Axes (say hello to him from me!) and almost immediately turned into what enchantments are today (we're yet to see if that direction was better :D ). Yet, that was one incident. I was one of the very few people posting walls of text like that on PBE boards (when talking about items, probably the only one), and I don't know if any of my further posts got noticed (like: Mikaels has less mana regen than its components, Talisman of Ascension costs 100g less than other final GP10 items - is that intended?).

Good luck with your work! :)
