Just A Little Detail About The River

The new SR is meant to be more interactive, so for a suggestion I think that the river could either make a little splashy sound when you're walking through it or it should have a little ripple when you're in it, however I can see the issue of when teams fight near Baron/Dragon and the ground just looks like it's shaking and this could obviously effect performance, just a suggestion though =3.

YES PLS! And an option like the shadow on/off for water animations. Currently it looks like we are walking on ice hue

Kinda like how the bush makes sounds while you walk through it, make splash sounds as you walk through water!

Issue I see is people complaining about stealthing away being caught because of rippling in the water.

i think people need to stop thinking about performance, the map isn't going to effect mechanics and performance that much. The map should be made as realistic as possible so one actually feels like they are playing on an actually realistic and possible map. There should definitely be ripples like real water. The ground should shake when certain monsters fight. Because in real life a Giant creature moving would make sounds and make the ground shake.

Thing is there might be a bug where enemies can see where you're going because of those splash effects. They'll likely see your trail of splashing in the fog of war. Although if Riot really cares about the effect they will make it work.

item 2039 <well u all KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING CHASED and being tracked but why dont u all think about stuff like thresh's lantern that u can see it but u dont see a continuous line from it to him NO u see the lantern and dont see the line UNLESS u see him ripples could be the same cant see the ripples unless u see the champ simple done and as for performance it would NOT be a issue barely affect it at all a few rings of water wont crash ur game and consume fps anything else?

If they were to do a thing, it would need to be able to be deactivated, because remember they are trying to raise the performance on low end machines.

They don't have to be big ripples that extend so far out just barely passing the champions foot range would be nice, cause too far out would alert people for an easy chase.
