With each new season's arrival, Riot aims to introduce changes to keep players engaged.

This intel was uncovered as gamers dissected Riot Games' teaser video showcasing new Eye themes.

Additionally, the bushes flanking the mid lane have shifted further apart, unveiling a stretch of river adjacent to the mid lane area.
These changes could potentially usher in a meta focused on skirmishes and contesting objectives, as both teams are likely to clash in this area to control and secure Crab camps or Dragons. Moreover, adjusting the river's size in Summoner's Rift will benefit champions synergizing with Waterwalking rune, granting increased mobility on this terrain.
Moreover, with keen eyes, you might also notice the path from Blue Buff to mid lane for the red team has been adjusted. The old wall has been replaced by a larger one adorned with fiery animations. Naturally, this change will somewhat affect player movement during ganks or lane swaps to other areas.
Lastly, on the mini-map, we can see the Baron pit area has become barren as the details of the walls surrounding this location seem to have been removed. This implies that the two major objectives on the top side of the map, the Rift Herald and Baron Nashor, are likely no longer shielded by terrain, presenting the most convenient opportunity for players to engage, whether on the blue or red team.
However, amidst the uproar of the gaming community, Riot Games has yet to make any official announcements regarding whether these are changes the developer is bringing to Summoner's Rift map or not. Thus, we'll have to wait and see when Riot will unveil all the significant adjustments in the upcoming 2024 Pre-Season. We'll keep you updated with the latest news, so don't forget to stay tuned!
