From S2 Player to Riot - Summoner's Rift Feedback & Suggestion

The Neverworld·6/18/2014, 7:53:41 AM·16 votes·461 views

I wish everyone a good day to the community and any riot member (I bet it's annoying to watch over every little feedback). Let me get straight here.

I'm a desperate League of Legends player who plays since Season 2. I main Jungle and Support, though I'm not bad as mid laner or marksman. I'm "playing" and testing on the PBE like more than 1 1/2 years and so today the updated SR was introduced

However, there are things that disturb me currently.

Nonetheless you guys (Riot) created again an awesome map. I remember the (sorry for the word) crappy map before the last summoner rift's update and yet again you made a good job like last time. Everything turns into a living little world where not only you change the shape by walking on these grounds, but also the monsters and legendary creatures who live in this town of war.

However... About the Jungle - I currently feel it's a bit too deserted. I know the feeling when I enter the jungle in our current live Summoner's Rift. You see purple or blue crystals in the tree or on stones, you see little campfires and fire torches - yet there's nothing except on the lanes, but not in the Jungle. Suggestion: I would love to see firetorches and those crystals back to bring more life in the jungle, and please add some little doodads or some special plants (Like a carnivorous plant that everytime tries to snap a Champion whenever a Champion comes along) or how about that the monsters, whenever they appear, the campfire gets lit? And when they are dead, the campfire will go out?

The current Towers are great, but I feel that when they shoot it feels like blunt, without any reality - just a stone and a beam shot. Suggestion: Whenever the Tower attempts to shoot, the whole crystal shines - it looks bigger in the starts but becomes then a narrow beam shot like currently.

The river could get way more love. Suggestion: **I would really love to see movements on the river whenever a Champion, minion or monster goes through (Even though client side only). It feels currently like it is just some normal ground and not actual water... **

That is pretty much everything that disturbs me. I might update this thread if I find something in the future matches in the updated SR!

Totally agree with you. Especially the jungle.

In my opinion, the new map should still feel like a forrest, like its on the live servers. Not only a flying arena. Do what you can to make the map as alive as possible.

As I also main jungle, what you said is very true. The jungle can get boring to some players but people who play jungle and gank is very fun! I would love to see Riot give some more graphics to the jungle. Just to make it more lively! Thank you for your feedback.Udyr

riot i think the jungle looks amazing the way it is, i think the extra crystals and torches take away from the natural beauty of the rift and the theme that is trying to be achieved. but i do agree with river being more dynamic as long as it wont negatively impact game play. i also think that the color schemes chosen for the 4 quadrants of jungles are perfect, and really helps keep where you are on the map more in the back of your mind. especially for beginners.
