TT used to be my favorite map

Please tell me that you will be heavily monitoring and possibly reconsidering the changes you have made to TT. TT used to be my favorite map because it WASN'T like SR. It wasn't just a lane battle locked in between two turrets. Because of the small map and small team, it had and required much more movement and communication and the open space provided opportunities for mobility and a diversity of fights.

The extended turret span just provides more limitations. Now people are safe just to run back a few steps. I don't want to be safe, I don't want another game where I play a standard lane matchup based on CSing and time in lane. I want to be out in the open field, needing to respond to every change on the small map. I want the small teams to be constantly trying to gank or pressure one of the lanes or the enemy jungle. I want to win by killing my lane opponent, not by forcing him/her out of lane or getting more money and experience.

The extra turret has taken away my favorite game mode. I'm afraid it may never come back. I'm giving the new map a chance, but I'm afraid I may have to move on to a different game altogether. I don't need more lane match-ups. I want quick, dynamic, small team cooperation, and all the opportunities possible for great battles. Encroaching the map with AI structures does not allow for that. TT used to be something different and special. It had an entirely different feel. Now the feeling is gone.

Man, sorry you aren't enjoying the update! As a 3v3 main since I started playing 1.5 years ago, I was EXTREMELY excited for these changes to the TT map. While I'm a littler nervous that they may increase the length of games a bit, I think overall the update helped to make the map feel much more objective-based. Now instead of 1v3-ing someone who is out of position early on and instantly snowballing the game, there are more opportunities to get back to a safe place and regroup. This extra turret forces teams to farm either in lane or in the jungle a little bit longer before the skirmishes start happening. I think, as a whole, it has made the gameplay MUCH healthier than before.

Now if only riot would jump on the whole IP farming bot issue... plz rito... PLZ

I agree completely Ive just played a few rounds with the new map changes and its made it into a small version of Summoners Rift. Not only that but the map looks cluttered Im not sure if riot is trying to drive people away from Twisted treeline or what but its taking the map away from what made it unique to make it more meta compatible like summoners rift :/ Also the vision trinket is a good idea but its way to powerful they took it off an item without scaling it at all it almost illuminates the entire jungle and its a trinket might as well remove the small quantities of bushes that are left all together at this rate.
Sorry but riot i dont wanna play a mini version of Summoners Rift.
