Lol at Riot reply about new SR Visuals.

Saturation

Forscience-"There is a lot of feedback on this point and I am listening. This has been my response on a couple other threads and I wanted to repost it here.

Increasing saturation makes the map look better by itself, but the map should not be the focal point of the game, the champions and their abilities should be. The map was created to be a backdrop for champions and VFX. We tried to make it beautiful without intruding on the play experience.

I really appreciate the comments posted here and I absolutely acknowledge that increasing saturation/contrast on a piece of artwork will make it feel more vibrant, but in the context of a game the art is not their for it’s own sake, it is a tool for gameplay. What League needs is a map that allows teamfights to be more readable. While I think there is room for improvement in the map (And we will continue to develop on it) I do think that the approach we have taken serves the entire League experience in a very successful way."

Are you kidding me, the current summoners rift has more saturation... The colors palette they used is awful, the water looks worse then current SR..I guess when you said you wanted Potato Pc's to able to play it you meant it, cause my god its awful.

All my friends say the same thing the map looks too Dark and it all looks blended. Literally none of my friends want to play it cause we are all rather disappointed....the only thing that looks good is the Turrets. I mean come on the Twisted Treeline has tons of saturation and is dark because thats the theme but it looks good. The new SR looks like someone used MS paint and took the blender tool to it.... Add more colors please...because at this point id rather play the old SR because it looks better.
