The old "very low" just took away a lot of details while not changing the resolution so the game still felt crisp.
Riot was now too dumb or lazy for this one so the "very low" just lowers the overall resolution. And it looks absolutely horrible.

I am very disappointed!
Wow this just makes me want to play on the old map because the new maps look lifeless and barren like man they took so much away
Being someone who came from playing on very low, to playing the old map on the max, they took an extreme amount away from the overall looks of the game, and even at very low, my old laptop wasn't able to achieve 40 CONSTANT fps as it'd dip down to 20 during big fights, and 25-30 roaming the jungle. The newer map is supposed to allow people with lower end computers to still maintain solid FPS while not taking an entire amount away visually. The new map is GORGEOUS on max detail, even more so than the old one. I actually dread playing ranked now because I want to continue playing team builder just for the map.
**Edit: And remember folks, this is still beta testing. Nothing is finalized yet.
ITT poor people complain about being poor
sorry, but if you cant afford an e-machine from walmart you probably shouldnt be playing League
you should be out fixing your financial problems
this game runs at 60+ fps on a 5+ year old laptop I own
i mean how poor do you have to be, and why should the rest of the gaming community have to pay for your poor life decisions?
I bet youre one of those people whose computer takes 10+ minutes to load, and then repeatedly feeds while blaming lag.
? I don't get it. The new map on low settings still looks 1000x better than the old one on high. I don't get it. I was about to say your character looks small and then I looked at the old map pic and the champ is just as small there as well.
Seriously? The new map look way better then the old one on low sorry to inform you about your useless complain.
I actually prefer the new very low because it boosted my shitty FPS from 20 to 40.
HOWEVER maybe it should be an entirely new setting for the shittiest drivers(like mine) and have very low have more details.
I completely agree, it looks hideous; i'm so disappointed. It is like Riot is trying to force players into buying new unnecessary hardware.
The element in the old map looked more sharp and colourful compared to the new, which look like a plain picture...
I like having high FPS when I play so I typically run my non-toaster on medium-low settings. But as you've pointed out, the map looks terrible on these settings compared to those of the old SR. I'd almost rather play on the old Rift now, as it looks far crisper on my preferred settings. Grrrr.
The new map is ugly and has performance issues. Please don't make us play on this trash.
THe thing all of you seem to forget is that this ISN'T the final version. Its a beta. I guess none of you have played a game in beta because they look terrible at all levels.
