League of Legends players have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the new Noxus-themed map introduced for the 2025 season. The updated Summoner's Rift, which features darker tones and Noxian elements, has been criticized for being too dull and depressing compared to its vibrant predecessor.

The map redesign is part of the 2025 season's first split focus on Noxus, which includes themed battle passes and skin releases. Players have particularly noted the shift from bright, energetic colors to more muted, autumn-like tones.

Key player complaints include:

• Overall depressing atmosphere
• Lack of visual appeal
• No option to toggle between map versions

Many players have called for the implementation of a map toggle feature, similar to the existing legacy cursor option, which would allow them to switch back to the original Summoner's Rift while keeping new features like animated turrets and Astrakhan.

The discussion has also reignited nostalgia for the winter version of Summoner's Rift, a beloved seasonal map variant that is no longer available. While Riot Games hasn't announced plans to bring back the winter map or implement a toggle feature, the community continues to voice their preference for more visually appealing map options.
