New SR Map has Ruined the atmosphere

I like the new design of monsters and the new shop but the rest is terrible. I don't like all the concrete and the jungle just isn't a jungle anymore. It feels empty and very dull.

I played a few games on the map and actually played worse than in the old map due to the uncomfortable dead feeling you get when playing.

The new turrets resemble Dota 2 far too much. I tried to play Dota, but stopped because lol just looks so much better and is better until I saw the new map. I believe most gamers like myself enjoy bright colours and good graphics.

If the map doesn't change, I don't think I will enjoy or play lol anymore.

Riot, please make changes to resolve this.

Thanks.

I feel the same way. There is something about the new SR that just does not feel right. It looks to flat and lacks excitement.

The new SR is brighter than the old one, and has better graphics... Just because you like the old look more doesn't mean it is better.

I have to say I LOVE the new art style. A little dull and simplistic in most places, but over all pretty and painted.

The only thing i dont like is the directional arrows pointing us which way to go in the lanes. It feels so linear. Look how many arrows there are in bot lane. Seriously Riot, just write "This Way ----->" on the ground.

I made a little thread about it here explaining it a little more.

I think the new map is a good baseline but certainly needs a lot of improvement, I never heard anyone complain about the bright colours or too much detail. The old map looks and feels so much better, it places you in a world of its own, the new map feels like a desert.

like I said, its a good start to a new map but lacks atmosphere and character

I really enjoy lol , it is way better than dota and I really hope new map updates get released so it feels like the league of legends we love to spend hours playing.

A bit of constructive criticism which I really hope the game developers take note of.

graphics can be better all you want but it means nothing if details and textures are worse which they are and it looks far too bland imo

Like.....I said the exact word for word almost thing you said. It reminded me of dota, and I couldn't stand dota, because LoL just looked so much better. Looks like an experienced 10 year old made the map tbh. Graphics suck. I didn't see anyone saying anything about the map and I was confused the other day, but seeing this I can feel a little bit relieved that it isn't just me.
