[HOPES] @ New Summoner's Rift Update.
I felt compelled to say a few things about this more than needed update we're finally getting.
-
I love literally everything you have done with SR from what I've seen. I do think you added a LOT of new life into League just by doing this. I almost wanted to punish myself by playing DoTA 2 because League started to look stale after YEARS and YEARS of hammering away at this game but this is just what I needed.

I really hope you guys don't stop at just Summoner's Rift. The HUD, for instance... This really pales in comparison to how beautiful the map is going to be. The colors and design just looks outdated. I'm not saying you need to re-arrange anything location-wise, but if ever there was a time to look into breathing new life into your HUD, now's the time. Tweak the bordering around the skillbar, character menu, minimap, etc... to look more suitable to the new colors of SR.

Secondly, the loading screen. There are so many better designs you could be using than these static vertical boxes of stuff for each player. We don't need to know which players brought which summoner spells or the names of those players or their preferred icons on the loading screen, we can see that information once we load into the game. Why not use a pie design and use the ENTIRE screen to display vibrant splash art for each champion instead? Maybe each pie slice can be dimmed down and fills up with its true colors as the person loads into the game? And instead of static borders from each Season displaying your rank you could just add a pulsating aura around each pie slice? I don't know, I just feel like there's a lot of screen real estate being lost as is.
I don't want to come off as an entitled brat, just my opinion on a couple things that kinda take away from the attraction of League to me, personally.
Whether or not either of these issues are addressed, I'll still play League because it's League and that new Summoner's Rift is just... a breath of fresh air, lol. I can't stress enough how revitalized League looks from this update to the map and everything on it.
I don't know why it's displaying a "1" in front of every point I made despite there being a "2" and "3" being used accordingly.
OP
and these are just a few. Riot please.
