is not going away, despite the Summoner&#8217;s Rift map undergoing a series of massive changes that will alter the game for the <strong>2024 preseason.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elevation bug is related to the design of the river in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-new-thing-about-league-of-legends-is-a-boy-band\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">League of Legends,<\/a><\/strong> which is lower than the surrounding terrain. For this reason,<strong> any ability launched toward or from within the river area may be targeting the wrong location<\/strong> because the heights are not leveled. This has been bothering fans for years, and they have campaigned for Riot to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem, <a href=\"https:\/\/old.reddit.com\/r\/leagueoflegends\/comments\/17zx94u\/riot_missed_the_perfect_opportunity_to_remove\/ka4a27x\/?context=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\"><strong>as stated<\/strong> <\/a>this week by <strong>Matt &#8216;Phroxzon<\/strong>&#8216;<strong> Leung-Harrison<\/strong>, the head of balance for League of Legends, is that the technical changes needed to eliminate the terrain elevation bug would require<strong> too much work for the developers<\/strong>. Additionally, the changes that fans want <strong>would take away a significant amount of time that could be spent on other projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is this going to hit?\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BT54-kfY5sI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest hurdle the League of Legends developers encountered when considering fixing the elevation issue was that <strong>the game&#8217;s entire source code would need a &#8220;re-architecture&#8221; to allow a change at that level.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Riot team was initially interested in investing that time, developers soon realized it was going to be <strong>a very tough job<\/strong>. &#8216;Removing the height is much harder than it seems,&#8217; admitted Leung-Harrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this, the developers ended up making the unpopular decision: instead of losing an entire season of progress for the game, they would simply &#8216;<strong>design within the current limitations of the map<\/strong>.&#8217; This has been Riot&#8217;s &#8216;modus operandi&#8217; since<strong> the remodeling of the Summoner&#8217;s Rift in 2014<\/strong>, the last time something of this magnitude happened in the preseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n            .article-content .sc-card-affiliation-v2 * {\n                padding: 0;\n                margin: 0;\n            }\n\n            .article-content .sc-card-affiliation-v2 {\n                font-family: \"Inter\",\"Arial Fallback\", sans-serif;\n                padding: 24px 0 48px;\n                max-width: 680px;\n            }\n\n            .article-content .sc-card-affiliation-v2 strong {\n                font-weight: 700 !important;\n            }\n\n            .article-content .sc-card-affiliation-v2__content {\n                display: flex;\n                width: 100%;\n                padding: 12px;\n                flex-direction: column;\n                align-items: flex-start;\n                gap: 12px;\n                border-radius: 8px;\n                border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;\n                background: #FFF;\n                box-sizing: border-box;\n                align-items: center;
