New map designed for 5 vs. 5 battles
Riot Games has announced that Magma Chamber, a new map for League of Legends, will be added soon to the game. The map will be optimized for 5 vs. 5 play, similar to the original Summoner's Rift map, but is intended to have a different feel and strategic approach. Unlike Summoner's Rift, which focuses on larger team fights in the mid and late game, Magma Chamber emphasizes smaller, more tactical fights, map awareness and victory in specific lanes. This is accomplished via a richer jungle and more isolated lanes that are difficult to switch between. Magma Chamber will also feature all new neutral minions that grant powerful buffs when defeated, new brush configurations and some other surprises that will help you traverse the rocky terrain.
