Summoner's Rift to get a Graphical Update!

[quote=Zeprido][h1]Note: this will be on the PBE before it is officially released![/h1] [QUOTE=Udyr]Summoners! In the next patch we’ll be rolling out some changes to the art of Summoner’s Rift aimed at bringing low and mid spec players better aesthetics as well as overall graphical performance. The next time you take to the Fields of Justice, you may notice a few new and improved visuals. Some of the enhancements include: [LIST][*]Better game performance at low and mid spec. [*]Updated textures across Summoner’s Rift. [*]Improved animations on many of the monsters, including the Ancient Golem, the Lizard Elder and, of course, Baron Nashor. [*]A new, animated shopkeeper to service all of your champion’s item purchases.[/LIST] [url=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Baron.jpg][img=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Baron_thumb.jpg][/url] [url=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Jungle.jpg][img=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Jungle_thumb.jpg][/url] [url=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Shopkeeper.jpg][img=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Shopkeeper_thumb.jpg][/url] [url=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Turret.jpg][img=http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_14_SR_1.1/Rift_1.1_Turret_thumb.jpg][/url] This is another improvement aimed at helping you continue to get the most out of your time playing League of Legends.

[quote=Zeprido]Added video of summoner's rift, no Baron video yet though =/[/quote]

[quote=Phil Collins]I like how Baron is just staring at you like that.[/quote]

[quote=GrimmFate]Meh Cool I guess... It DOES look better, but meh. Can't say it'll really affect me at all ):[/quote]

[quote=Senac]Ridiculously photogenic Baron anyone? Or maybe just high, dunno.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]Looks awesome. I love the CS counter. <3 Riot[/quote]

[/quote] It's to represent the fall of communism and the rise of capitalism. That's why the pig had to go.[/quote]

[quote=NinjaGinge]Meh I actually don't like it all that much. It's a little more muted and dark than it was, kinda takes some of the magic away[/quote]
