I came. Like eight billion ****ing times.
Those are some decent graphics upgrades. I LOVE Magma Chamber. Looks like it's a pretty easy jungling route - with what appears to be two epic monsters, one of which made me think of Heatran...
I speak french - although not fluently - but is there any anticipated release date?

I ran it through google translate, and it says they also updated their graphic engine. AWESOME!
Also generally about Magma Chamber is that it focused more on "important victories" (no idea).
Something about more jungle, and enclosed corridors. Uhh.. New neutrals, new enhancements.
Can't see anything about a release date.

I am too kind:
Here is the translation but official version should be available somewhere:
"hey folks, a lot of things are coming up this year 2011 in LoL, among those the new 5v5 map, named Magma Chamber, and the graphics' revision.
Today we are happy to provide new infos and pictures of those two updates.
Magma Chamber
Magma Chamber is a 5v5 map, but the difference is while we are used to rely on big team victories to ensure winning, this one gives you more small sized skirmiches, more tactical. This implies a role more central for the jungle, also a lot of small remoted corridors. This map also brings you new neutral monsters which brings powerful buffs, and some other surprises.
Other big new the graphics revision will arrive rather soon"
Scrax did you click on the links ? There are pics of the updates

I saw a thread in the forums about this, and the guy makes a lot of sense. A few points he made:
The two lanes in the extreme north and south of the map, right between the two lanes, contains neutral creep camps. These are likely to be equivalent to the current wraiths/double golem camps and are likely to give around the same amount of XP. If the "side" lanes are super-aggressive, they will constantly assert control over these camps and therefore will out-level their opponents. This makes more sense than a jungler grabbing the camp because it is in a location that is inaccessible to a jungler without having to pass through the lane first.
Consider that a jungler itself may become redundant what with the speed that players can traverse the map now with the warp panels. It's simple now to slip out of your lane for a few seconds and gank, and do it much faster than was possible on Summoner's.
By the way, CLGaming has a thread on this too, in English.

Did you see that Cho'gath? He looks sexy, really sexy...did I mention sexy?
Magma chamber looks nice, I can't wait to play it. I can't wait for the graphics revision either, though I'm a lil concerned whether my computer can handle it or not. It is getting up there in years now.

Great update! I think Magma Chamber is going to be awesome!
But I am ntot quite sure about the graphics though. Of course they look better, but I don't hope it is going to interfer with the artstyle too much (I think they overdid it with Kayle :/). But I am looking forward to the update nevertheless ;)
