When will Howling Abyss, Twisted Treeline and Crystal Scar receive updates like Summoner's Rift has?

I'm talking about turrets, minions, inhibitors, nexus, victory/defeat assets. Every other map now looks stale, old, blocky, and just plain bad, in comparison to the new Summoner's Rift.

These maps and their assets could do with some loving, too.

Howling Abyss towers are already pretty up to date and suits its theme, so no need to touch those. But Twisted Treeline. Them towers look so bad since they are the same as the old Summoner's Rift turrets (as far as I'm aware).

And in comparison to the new minions, the old ones are just simply ugly.

Please, Riot.

Howling Abyss is fine, it's got high quality textures and good effects on towers. It was created recently. Twisted Treeline is better than Summoner's Rift was and may just require small touchups. Crystal Scar on the other hand needs a full remake and it should be made to look like Shurima. Perhaps with different style of creeps.

Crystal Scar needs a full remake. The whole map looks outaded now that all the other 3 are in the same "level"

I think Crystal Scar is really the only map in need of a propper VU right now. HA and TT's updates aren't that old, only about 2 years for HA and 2.5 for TT.

Nty, I don't think ARAM can really handle a performance decrease. It's already laggy and slow as is.

I dunno about Twisted Treeline.. last time people asked for an update to Twisted Treeline, they removed the map entirely and replaced it with this whole "Shadow Isles" thing.

I'll miss you, red buff in Twisted Treeline.

I'd imagine rito is probably developing it but putting out maps is hard work lots of bug testing and its gotta be checked for every champ,item,spell and combo possible. I can't imagine how many hours of battles the beta testers had to log. But still I wish I was a beta tester. Maybe when I get out of bronze rito will notice me.

The biggest one for me would be switching from purple to red (again, might not be needed on HA?), and making the TT towers the new kind (bigger and with slow destruction) and yes, if they could do something about the Crystal Scar (they even tried to cover it with that sand nonsense for the ascension game mode :/)
