New Magma Chamber was a novel idea until you realized that 1v1s or 2v2s was the most worthless game mode idea ever and devoting an entire staff to fine tuning a map for such a game mode was a serious waste of manpower.

They release stats on this, comparatively to one for all, the showdown game mode was an utter failure.

I liked one for all, but the showdown was ****ty because the map was the same as aram, which I've played too much of.

It would be fine to release the 1v1/2v2s for strictly tournament play, i.e. All-Stars, World's, etc, but releasing to the whole community would likely be a huge time commitment - it might work out in the future of its release, but it's really a question of whether or not Riot wants to take that chance. Or whether they want to fix the EU servers first.

But yeah, 1-4-A was fun. D=

I'd really like to see the Magma Chamber from the original concepts, it was pretty amazing.

I remember it had like 2 dragons, 1 baron and 3 or 4 buffs per side. Also it was 23% bigger (according to RiotLyte) than the Summoner's Rift. Or it was supposed to be.

Then I'm confused how my comment contradicts Caucheka's...
They're just worded differently (I think)

Caucheka was glad they got canceled it, and from the wording in your comment, you were pissed they canceled it.

no, im glad they cancelled it.

firstly because its a terrible rehash to what could of been an amazing map

secondly why build a ****ing map to balance 1v1/2v2 when they can just boot up a 1v1/2v2 only match type on abyss like they did
