Help Me Out!

they have developers for specific things. im sure they have map designers making and polishing a map. how would u feel if they just dumped out a lop sided bad re skin of rift? i know id be upset they didn't spend more time on it and make it better. they are working on a map. it just takes time to make sure the champs sync with it. and its not imba for a specific side.
 
As with many games their are different departments who do different things and riot is no exception. People who work on maps are not going to be the same people who design champions.


As much as I would like to see magma chamber or even other maps be released there are a lot of issues that come with making a map, especially a map that can hold more people. Game is balanced for both teams / how long the game takes to finish / equal jungling opportunities / access to buffs / access to major objectives (like dragon and baron) / similar route design for potential ganking opportunities / again route design only this time for effective escape methods / with more people probably more nexus defense turrets, would these turrets be OP and hard to kill, to easy to kill, or just right to kill / and also the over all design, look, and feel of the map.



Same thing goes with features such as replays and observer mode. There is going to be bugs and also with patches every 2 weeks there needs to be a way so that these features will be stable week to week. In fact in the most recent update to observer mode it crashed people out of the game and nothing at all was changed about it just once the newest patch was added to the server, boom it kicked people out of the game every time it was used.
 
Honestly, I'd be okay with putting new champions on hold for a while so they could keep working on game balance -- right now in ranked you see about 1/3 of the champions used. But, and Ramp beat me to the punch on this one, they have different teams for different things -- I'm sure designing/coding a map is different than designing/coding/balancing a champion.

Of course, with Summer around the corner, I have a feeling we're going to keep seeing new champions every two weeks.
 
Have you ever seen what a company does? They have different teams for different things. If they have their champion team stop making champions, nothing will be done any faster. The only thing that would happen would is that they would do nothing around the office and no new champions would come out.

I talk to riot staff members all the time. And when you ask a question about something they don't work in, they have no clue. Unless you ask the head guys (Udyr, Pendragon, ect...) your not gonna get the right responses you were looking for. I just say be patient and wait it out.

This isn't an FPS game where making maps rarely involves strategy unless you play at professional levels. In LoL the maps do matter. Have you ever played on Twisted Treeline? Many champions who are bad on SR are godlike on TT. They are just balancing it and polishing it. Also i think they are waiting for project shiny to be complete. Thats when most of the content they have been working on will be released.
 
Its not just that they have other teams working on other projects though.
They get tons of money every week they release new champs and skins. If new champions and skins are bringing in pretty much all their money then they are going to use more resources on that then a new map that won't bring in any profit.
