Summoners Rift Re-Skin (Event) Ideas!

In a different thread, someone posted a quote from a (in)famous dragon. A couple WoW related jokes were made. Making a joke about the towers in the Stormwind Gates being on fire for 2 & 1/2 years, and The Park that got #rekt (lol, getting under the map from there was the best! Oh, pre-CATA days, how I miss you so.) it sparked an idea. Time to babble less about a different game that alot of people hate (and I still love), and get to the point!

Deathwing's destruction of the WoW in game map got me thinking. Wouldn't it be kinda cool to see a magma/desolated/hell themed summoners rift? Maybe make more fire-themed skins for champs to go along with the ones we have (like Firefang Warwick, Brand, Wildfire Zyra, etc)

Another idea I had (with more thought) came to mind. There are A LOT of Void themed champions! Anyone remember the first cinematic? Ryze was running from Nocturne in that nightmarish, desolate place? Maybe a Void themed Summoners Rift? I think that would be cool. It could come with a new Void champion too, and have a big event like the Shurima event with Azir. In-game challenges, Rewards, a cool story to go with it, the works!

Some thoughts/ideas that could make it cool

  • A new (void-themed) champ
  • A Void themed temp re-skin of Summoners Rift
  • A story/lore site, like the one for the Freljord and Shurima
  • A new temp game-mode

*Summoners Rift appearance ideas:

  • replace trees with rock-ish pillars (kinda like the ones seen in the first Cinematic, the ones Ryze was jumping over while running away from Nocturne)
  • replace water with weird, blackish mirk
  • Lighting is grim, dark, to set the mood (like the Doom Bot game-mode)
  • Make colors more grim/dark themed
  • replace torches with flaming skulls on spears
  • Make baron look more scary (maybe kinda like the SR update baron)
  • make Golems/bluebuff less mossy, and more on fire, Lizard on fire, Wolves skeletal and decaying, and make Wraiths/Wright completely black
  • enemy Health-bars turn blood red, friendly turn dark blue
  • Special Interactions between the champions and the map (ex: Rengar could make a comment on how hes even harder to see when he enters either Jungle)
  • ground is dark grey/black with various details like spilled blood/guts
  • Bushes look dead/decaying
  • give the general look of the place a really creepy/ominous feel to it

Anyways, any of you guys got any cool event ideas? Or anything to add on to mine? I think it would be really cool to see a Void event.

These are some really excellent ideas. I just made a new thread where the Environment team will have a lot more visibility. It would be great if you could repost your feedback here.

That way the idea will get the visibility it deserves.
