Hello Riot,

I have just assumed this is the right place for this thread lol I was just discussing with a buddy the other day how cool it would be if there were more maps to play on for 5v5 matches, rather than only Summoner's Rift. I haven't been playing long (probably around 6 months or so) but I had grown a love for the game early on. The only thing that I have seen as possibly "tedious" at times, playing the same 5v5 map over and over again. I'm a person who likes variety. I believe we all do. You have created this awesome game that is so diverse in it's champions and item builds and everything. I know some people could say "Play ARAM". However, not everyone wants to play ARAM. I mean, even if you created exact replicas of Summoner's Rift but changed the scenery a little. For example, (Some people might not like me for bringing this into the topic) Call of Duty sets you with a random map in the lobby. Maybe if you had like 3 or 4 maps for Summoner's Rift that were randomised each lobby, that would be pretty awesome. I do know that you guys are intelligent so I put money down that you have already thought about this. Just curious as to if we will see something like this. If you are reading this then I thank you for your time and hope to hear back from you soon. It would also be great to hear what everyone else thinks on the matter. Thank you :)

Map skins are difficult. Done well, skins look pretty; done badly, and they distract from gameplay. Look up those devblogs about Riot having to balance new SR's color scheme. Even with the recent Butcher's Bridge ARAM skin, there were issues with particle visibility at times. It's definitely possible to throw up map skins, but to make them work properly takes a lot of resources.
