Magma will be so baller. Looks smaller than what i had imagined, though. Doesn't really seem to merit the teleports. | ||

they want to make it "less about team fights and more about map awareness and skirmishes" uhhhh... sorry, i don't think you get to make the game more about map awareness just by saying it. baddies are still gonna be bad, low elo games are still gonna suck, high elo games are still gonna feature very few kills and buff control. but making it 3 lanes and 5v5 is just essentially re-making summoner's rift, how fucking creative. if i had put any money into this game whatsoever i would ask for it back. -_-;; but i haven't. so i will continue to just bitch instead also, wut?? the gamasutra article says that magma chamber is more about winning your lane because the lanes are hard to switch in between, and it's more about individual play. then the lore that they quote directly in the article says there are teleporting platforms to make it easy to go anywhere on the map and that summoners will have to work together to push + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2892/derp2.jpg) | ||

They want magma chamber to basically replace summoner's rift as the main map for most of your games and that it will be 5v5 to not splinter the playerbase further. | ||
