[2020] What if Riot rotated the map 90 degrees counter-clockwise for April Fools?

No.

And, and by the way, you don't want to do that either.

You think you don't, but you don't

There's some weird hotkey in the dev build that causes the map to shift to being vertical instead of diagonal (so imagine that middle lane runs from the bottom MIDDLE of your screen to the top MIDDLE of your screen, instead of bottom LEFT to top RIGHT)

It will give you some of the worst motion sickness you've ever experienced. I legit almost threw up.

OH and any Among Us players, if you've played the Skeld map on reverse... you might have experienced something similar. But this is like... 10x worse. It's horrible. Never ever suggest this again pls pls pls

no but i can draw it for you in ms paint with like explosions and sh*t

EDIT -- Here you go

There was a team that rotated the old map by 45 degrees for our Thunderdome (hackathon) in order to remove map imbalance caused by viewing angles. For veterans it was unplayable, confusing, and in some cases nausea inducing.

Yeah, when Dominion was around there weren't actually side imbalances there. On SR there is some, and it varies by champion. Long range skill shot champs (notably Rumble for his ult) tend to do worse on red side while champs like Singed don't care. That's part of why we tried to make it sideways for that project!

This was on the old old map so way different...everything. I think this was while we were working on the oldish map so there was new tech to try things like this in the 3 day hackathon. No idea what we can do today or what we could try since I've left that part of the org :(

You are most welcome!
