League of Legends players have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the new Noxus-themed map introduced for the 2025 season's first split. The updated Summoner's Rift features darker tones and a more autumn-like appearance, replacing the traditional vibrant colors players were accustomed to.

Players have taken to Reddit to voice their concerns, describing the new map as "depressing" and "extremely dull." The primary complaint centers around the stark visual contrast from the classic map's brighter aesthetic.

Key player requests include:

• Addition of a map toggle option to switch between new and classic versions
• Retention of new features (animated turrets, Astrakhan) while using the classic map
• Return of the beloved winter version of Summoner's Rift

While Riot Games currently offers a legacy cursor toggle option, there's no indication they plan to implement similar functionality for map selection. The discussion has also reignited nostalgia for the winter-themed Summoner's Rift, which was previously available during holiday seasons but is no longer accessible.
