Special Events in Summoner's Rift

On the title, by special events, I mean something that suddenly happens during gameplay. Something like meteor showers, invading monsters, hidden treasure, or perhaps a boss fight more threatening than Baron Nashor that would take both teams to eliminate. I've seen games do this before so I was wondering if Riot could give these events a shot.

Doesn't really have to affect the gameplay. It could just have visual effects like when you visit Urf's grave in the earlier Summoner's Rift designs except something bigger.

Randomized gameplay effects would be tremendously difficult to balance for competitive play. Randomized visual effects are slowly being added (e.g. various fauna) and seemingly kept minimal to avoid detracting from gameplay clarity.

And why only on SR?

Well, not just SR. It could take place in the other 3 maps too. I just thought only SR because that's where most people a more likely to play.
