I may just be weird...

Maybe I just haven't noticed it, or something. That's usually the case, I'm pretty slow, but the gorgeous site we behind the boards isn't actually a playable map. I just wanted to ask that if it's not going to be one in the future, would you make it one? It really is a beautiful map, and if it's not currently in development, it could be an awesome game mode that the Riot community could come up with together. However, if that's just summoner's rift or something, then sorry for not noticing. So tell me, am I weird? Am I slow? Do you like this idea too? Let me know, please.

In case you don't know, Riot posted nearly 4 months ago a dev blog and a video about the Summoner's Rift map, and announced that it will be receiving an update.

So now, it has been on the PBE servers for some time now and soon it would be released (for open beta testing, in the live servers), as it's stated here: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/10/updated-summoners-rift-nears-open-beta.html

Here's a tour in the new SR update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdMPM6XtS4M&list=UUyEdrOHxpSGXVD1xHKQkl2A (you might wanna check "Surrender at 20's" other videos about the Summoner's Rift update, for stuff like the nexus explosion, jungle camps spawn animations, etc.)

You can also check out the official, 4-months old, teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e_N4WpqH5o

And that's a great site I would recommend on if you want to keep being updated about League stuff (Red posts, teasers, PBE updates, general announcements, Esports stuff and more!) : http://www.surrenderat20.net/ (The community of the site is awesome, too! ;D )

tl;dr: The artwork is kind of based on the new Summoner's Rift update that is coming out soon, and you might wanna take a look at the links I sent for more information.
