Where is Demacia? Noxus? Ionia?

Should we see more of Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, Piltover, etc... in Summoner's Rift? Maybe road signs, shattered Demacian armor from battles past, tattered Ionian banners, or some indication that this piece of land has been fought over for centuries?

Summoner's Rift borders the greatest factions in Runeterra, yet its value is ambiguous. Where are the factions? Why are they fighting for Summoner's Rift?

It may be cool if they added flags to the bases based on the team members nationalities, Like if a team had Garen Lux Caitlyn Darius and Master Yi, it would have 2 for Damacia 1 for Piltover 1 Noxus and 1 for Ionia,

I think it'd be great to see more connections to the lore on Summoner's Rift. SR kinda gets boring once you know the map like the back of your hand so it would make the gameplay that much richer IMO. Maybe even have these purely decorative aspects of the lore on the map change depending on the champions playing? (E.g. the Gangplank's ship idea or dimensional portals to the void on walls and stuff whenever a majority of champs come from the void?) stuff like that would be pretty cool haha

The Summoner's Rift was fought over during the Rune Wars, not during Demacia and Noxus' skirmishes. While it would be cool to see torn Demacian flags and left over ruined Noxian battle garments, the two factions never actually fought within the Rift prior to the creation of the League.

It's a good idea, but it doesnt fit with the lore. If you've read a lot of the lore behind the champions you'll know that summoner's rift was a battleground for the different factions of runeterra. If riot implemented demacia and noxus into SR, it would completely change and possibly ruin the lore. However, a great idea for riot would be to create a whole different map with factions facing off against each other with their own themes.

why not make a game mode of this like the event they did with ionia vs noxus most factions have at lest one champion of every type role but other then that would be nice to see if they would do that when one team is demacia and the other is noxus

Regardless of what RiotGames tries to portray, the owl and the stag, I shall continue to belief that the new blue team aesthetics are the colors of Demacia, but style of Piltover, shown briefly in the fountain turret. On the red team, the color correspond with that of Noxus, and with the weird aqua/blue/green chemicals, from Zaun. Which brings me to my final point. RiotGamesInc should extend the world of Runeterra, including Valoran, to the genres of MMORPGs, taking place during the Runewars. They would feature each Runewar as a different server, with the recent wars being PVE, with predetermined factions (Demacia, Noxus, etc), and the older ones to be PVP, with player-controlled territories and factions (or guilds). They could also constantly "release" new continents, as Valoran is not the only one to exist in Runeterra, along with access to different universes/beings/weapons. To maintain the competitive aspect of League of Legends, this new game would have a Planetside 2 - esque territory control, along with dungeons/raids on bosses, that would require strategy throughout. As for damage/level fairness, the cap should be 100, with lower-level characters to constantly complete quests, in the Skyrim fashion, to create more lore, along with utilizing more impact-ful, dynamic quests, similarly to that of the Goblin King Quest mentioned in the Anime of Log Horizion. This MMORPG would focus less of an economy, less on crafting, and mainly on fighting, using an action-oriented combat system, along with preferably a FPS view. Rito plz.
