Something I've been wondering for a while now...

Why is there only one stage per game mode? I mean, I've been playing the game for a little under a week and I'm already getting a bit bored with Summoners Rift because it seems to be the only stage on which to play 5x5 Classic mode. I can only imagine the folks who've been playing this for years know that jungle inside and out.

Ive learned that during a fight, the environment plays just as important role in victory as your skills. I think some new stages to play on would be exciting. Get some new strategies mixes in?

(If you vote NO, then PLEASE take a bit of your time to explain to us why new stages wouldn't be a good idea.

If you're talking just reskins/different looks -- okay, sure, maybe. They just did a complete graphical overhaul of SR, and then the Butcher's Bridge skin for ARAM (which I hope makes a return at some point, as it was pretty cool). They've done a few map skins in the past, but then Riot decided to focus their efforts on redoing the whole map at a much higher level of overall quality. I'm not sure if they are going to try to bring the other maps up to that new level of quality or maybe do more reskins.

If you're talking about changing the map layout, even small changes could shift competitive balance in hard-to-predict ways. SR's gameplay is carefully balanced around the size of the map, where fights tend to happen, vision in lanes and the jungle, distance between objectives, and more.

It'll be interesting to see if HOTS can maintain good champion balance across all their different maps. But their whole thing is that the map-specific objectives are really important and what a lot of the gameplay focuses around.
