New Maps and game modes.

i've been thinking about this for a while and i was wondering if there was any intention to come out with new maps or game modes in the near future. the current game modes and maps are enjoyable but they do get repetitive after a while. i was thinking maybe a capture the flag where an orb appears somewhere on the map and you need to get there, fight a mini boss maybe and steal its orb and return it to your nexus for 500GP maybe. also maybe a game mode like URF, but summoner spells get the super cooldown reduction. also is there any initiative as to a new map coming out in the following months???

Clearly you are familiar with the rotating game modes, because you know of URF. What you may not be familiar of is that they are always working on weird new game modes that cycle in and out as they get made - you may have noticed the new game mode for the Crystal Scar has just come out.

Riot's metrics tend to indicate that in the first week or so of a new game mode, they are super popular, and then the following week the popularity tends to drop off. That's why they aren't permanent modes, but will cycle in and out so that people's interest in them remains high. They will come back.

So yes, Riot is making new game modes.

As for maps, those tend not to be as popular as just straight up SR. Maps are not exactly as easy to make as one would expect. Check out Extra Credit's video on the Map Design of SR to see how much thought goes into designing a map. So it's highly unlikely that a new map, if one is coming, would come any time soon.

I think a 1v1 , 2v2, and a 4v4 map would be cool
