How About a 180 Map Rotator?
There is a huge unfair advantage for the blue side. How hard could it be to make a 180 rotation? it effects how I play, and probably many others. Is this to much to ask for?

Problem: "top" and "bot" meta. Or maybe that's not a problem because personally I think that would be great. Alternatively, rotate the map 45 degrees so it's camera-unbiased like Twisted Treeline and Crystal Scar.
Riot if only one thing happens I would want this. Or at the very least for the red side put the spells and everything on the top. plz riot plz
Full support. I don't see why this wouldn't be able to be incorporated.
This would be great for playing ADCs like 
, 
, 
, etc.
PLEASE MAKE THIS 180 MAP ROTATION THING HAPPEN RIOT
oh so I'm NOT the only person that wants this. I'd really like to see it go the way of twisted treeline's map angle if they are overhauling the maps appearance anyways. I seriously cant do unlocked camera, its too hard to pay attention to my character and where I am looking at the same time and I have tried.
PLEASE add this!
I've been considering this for a while, I definitely think this should be implemented since blue side seems to have such a good advantage over red side currently :P.
I like this for the purpose of skill shots in the bot lane it would be super usefull
1000 times yes.
this is a good Idea so its like your playing on the blue side but actually your on the red side? also what about the baron and dragon?
I don't really think that is even necessary. If riot could just switch the UI with minimap up to the top of the screen it would alleviate a lot of the space that get's used up at the bottom of the screen or maybe even allow players to toggle off the portions so they can free up that space if they feel the need.
This would be amazing. Casting my vote in for this.
With the new map this isn't a problem anymore. They changed the angle so blue side isn't so much at a disavantage when aiming skillshot toward the bottom of the screen.
I doubt Riot will make a 180 degree turn for the map because they would have to re make the images for all the terrain since its a 2D game view and you would be looking at it from the other side. But as they already said they are fixing the angle of the camera so it will be even on both sides so you will have the same view on red side as you would with blue.
oh please please please fix the hideousness that is purple side bottom camera! It's an unlock your camera or jokes on you situation. I can't play having to flick the camera around constantly just to be able to aim a skill shot.
I think being able to make the game relative to the player would benefit the most. I know that I play a lot better and enjoy the game more from the blue side rather than the red. I also play ARAM a lot and feel the same way about that map. If I am going from the top down I am moving my screen way too much and missing out on opportunities to make good plays, or I completely lose my champion and die.
In my opinion, being on purple/blue, with the HUD, etc, being in the way, is way too insignificant for ranked play. There is the option of hitting "SPACE" to reset your camera, along with free-roam. This is not a vital, game-impacting issue.
They already have 360 map rotator :) and from simple math we know 360 is more than 180. So, riot already did more for you! stop whining :P
While I think it would be super beneficial, and the community has been nonstop asking for it, after Riot released they were updating SR they said multiple times that a camera flip would not be happening. It is unfortunate.
When you think about it, its not all that unfair... During champ select, each team has a 50/50 chance of getting purple or blue. It's not like you are the tipping point... Sure there is a small advantage but really its nobody's advantage to be abused seeing as the amount of times you'll get blue is 50/50. Every game won, 50% on blue and 50% on red. It's my way of looking at it so hey..I could be wrong though
I never really found this to be much of a problem. I guess it hadn't occurred to me that people locked their screens. I hope if they do change it, they make it a toggle, because I'm fine the way it is.
They can't. The backsides of the trees are black.
Simply 'Mirroring' the map would make this entirely possible, the whole map is perfectly symmetrical, mirror the game for each side so that the camera angle is exactly the same for both sides. its true that one side has a big advantage over the other side, mostly for view, you can see a lot more from blue side than from purple
