Something positive to say about SR

Hello,

I'd just like to say that I am very pleased with the updated summoners rift. There are a few small things things that bug me, such as the under-saturation (official waffle jargon) and brightness of the map, but it's mostly just minor things that I'm sure I'll adjust to over time. Over-all though I'd have to say this is a vast improvement and a major step in the right direction, a much overdue face lift.

The part that I love the most is the visual clarity. I've already effortlessly flashed over the tribush wall. I can tell who is where and what they are doing in team fights.

All of the extra little accents such as rain, birds chirping, dragonflies really help the map come alive. I really hope to see seasonal accents like pumpkins, orange yellow and red leaves, holly bushes, christmas tree lights, snow, spring flowers, etc, etc, in the future.

Thank you for restoring my faith in this company. I'm glad the hundreds of dollars I've invested through skins have gone to something more tangible than e-sports.

That would be cool to have seasonal accents on the map. Don't forget snowmen!

Let me give you a few reason as to why I like it

The performance is better. The normal comp i run it on as no problem, but I decided to try my old beat up comp. Normally on lowest settings it maxed out at 15 FPS. Now with this SR update, I can play on normal setting at 30 FPS and still have a little room to improve.

Everything sticks out more, it doesn't look so clustered. I can see team fights, I can tell what's going on and where I'm at.

The map itself. Yes it may look dulled out, but in the overall spectrum of things it came out REALLY done. I like the flow of things, the updated towers/inhib/nexus effects. Dragon and baron were updated well too.

Snow men for sure. Maybe have reign deer flying on the horizon to the north instead of a dragon, or maybe have santa fighting the dragon mid-air in the distance haha.

Love walking through the bush north of baron towards the river to see what looks like light shining through trees. That's pretty creative :)
