i don't want this to be temporary i know why it should but at the same time. looking at this map seeing all the work put into it. makes me sad knowing it isn't going to be around for a long time. it just feels like all the hard work you put into it will be pointless once it's gone.

once again i know why it has to be temporary but it just hurts to know. it's such a beautiful map. it's going to be the most alive looking map in the game from the looks of it. Thank you map team over at Riot for this. Can't wait to play on it and see what unfolds.

They should make ARAM 50/50 HA and BB

Or HA and BB should be seasonal.

Its seems like a waste to make this map go to waste..

Sad to see the Butchers Bridge leave? Not to fear! You can now purchase our first ever map skin for the low, low price of all of your monies! Purchase now while supplies last! (brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Rito)

Seriously though, think of just how much money they could make with map skins... Basically all of it. (throws money at computer)

I read somewhere on surrender@20 that Riot was thinking about keeping it permanently. They haven't decided how, or what they will do with it, but I'm thinking it will be along the lines of "50/50 chance of getting either map for your ARAM", it will be seasonal, or they will swap it randomly throughout the year. I am unaware if this is 100% accurate, but its promising!

It is a really nice change up from the age old HA. granted by the time the event is over I will miss HA, I would still like to see the new map every once in a while. I don't think map skins would be possible as I don't think they can code player 1 sees map A and player 2 sees map B but both map A and B are the same map sort of thing. Skins as they are today are visible to everyone. If anything I could see it being something like the IP/skin boost where it only lasts 1 game and everyone gets to enjoy it.

On a side note while i like the new map I am kind of dissapointed that there won't be any special rules. Events like URL and One for Everyone were crazy enough that I would play them as much as I could before they were gone. With BB I feel like i will play a few games and say that was interesting before moving on.

First, how easy must it have been for Riot to create this map and all of it's intricacies if they're willing to just cast it aside. Second, I see no reason to get rid of it and not make it an option for people. Either give people the option to buy a map skin in the store or just make it an option in the ARAM "champ select" screen.

They aren't going to scrap it. They put in a LOT of work to get it out, they aren't just gonna delete all the files when the event is over.
