This was a long, well-thought-out post, so I think it deserves a long, well-thought-out response. Even if I completely disagree, which I do.

This may come as a shock, but there are a considerable number of players who were put off by the fact that TT games could very often go much longer than SR games, even though as a map it's supposed to play much more quickly.

Because why should we have to fight as teams in, umm, a team game?

SPARTA like Defense with both your inhibs and central turret down.

You can still do this on the new map - but you won't have that friendly laser doing all the hard work for you.

CHASING a player though the top jungle forever and finally getting him just before he gets to safety
|
This may come as a shock to you, but endless chases through jungle were not an endearing feature of the old map for many players, including myself.

PLAYING hide and seek and seeing who blinks first.

Unless you're playing one of the many Champions that doesn't have a low-cooldown blink available, in which case, you're in serious trouble.

Actually, many players found this sort of thing to be what was incredibly infuriating about this map, and not infuriating in a fun way.

BUFFS from somewhat durable Neutrals.

You can still do this on the new map, the buff from Spider is significant and lasts long enough to make a big difference.
Actually, a lot of players hated how static and defense-oriented this map could become, particularly in later stages of the game.

SUMMONER's RIFT light. Yeah that was the point wasn't it?

No, it wasn't.
Point taken, the map could use a bit more color.

COMPETENT team mates. not SR players stopping in for a look/ coffee break.

Translation: this map was so much better when there were only a few of us playing it, all these new players have ruined everything.
Don't be surprised if Riot isn't exactly sympathetic to that argument . . .

COMMUNITY of TTers that are passionate and dedicated to the Awesomeness that was 3 V 3
|
You can still have a community, though you may have to get used to the fact that it may be larger than the very small community that TT had previously because, you know, more people might actually want to play the new map.

What we get in return is a GANK FEST where the only viable strat is to just run around in as a squad and engage. With hyper snowball and even more broken champs and team comps.

Team fights? :O The horror!
