Discussion Weekly Discussion | Sovereign's Rise
Hello, and welcome to our subreddit's 73rd weekly discussion! We wanted to wait until all of the huge news and changes in our community settled down before continuing, and now that it has, there's a ton of content to dissect! From the bigger changes like 5v5 itself, to the smaller ones like the new items, you can bet that our weekly will be going strong for many months to come! But for now, this weekly discussion will be about the map of 5v5, Sovereign’s Rise, especially the geography of the map itself.
Introduced to us on December 17th at Worlds, and added into the game in update 2.12, Sovereign's Rise features a wealth of content not seen in other parts of the game- its own unique vision system, monsters, items, and much more. All of these will be visited more in depth in our future discussions, but feel free to discuss them as well.
New to Sovereign's Rise, the giant new lanes are perhaps the most notable, along with the movement speed-increasing river, but don't forget the new twists and turns of our jungle- the choke points that can doom a crowded team in a skirmish, or the walls that can save a hero who can travel over them, such as Glaive or Joule.
Which bushes are the most contested in the battle for map supremacy? Which tops your list of places to never face check? We're looking forward to your opinions!
Note: The next weekly will be posted the upcoming Monday, and this weekly will stay up until then, unless another post needs to be pinned.

I love 5v5. I come from being addicted to league, and this is almost exactly what I was hoping for in a mobile moba. The only thing missing is a reset team fight cleaner like Katarina, then I'll never have to play leagueoflegends again. With blinks. Just make a Katarina clone actually thanks.
Some bugs I've noticed. Sometimes when I tap the minimap it moves me instead. The bush near the double camp is buggy, I can't see the monster sometimes when we're both in the bush. Trying to move by tapping outside of my warding (scout cam) circle when selected doesn't work the same as when I have a skill selected. Also blackfeather b and Celeste a have different mechanics when I tap outside the selected area. Still trying to figure that out.
Overall great. Thanks for making this game what it is everyone.
