So players have to re-buy all the champions and skins that they already bought. Dats smoit.

I would bet it being like CSGO to CS2 or the DOTA 2 Source 2 update. Better to keep your player base in the same game through a major update rather than split the fanbase between games like how the counter strike community split between CS1.6 and Source for a good decade until mostly converging into CSGO

Maybe it’ll have more than one map.

Dota's had more or less the same map for the past 20 years and it's been fine. The genre has issues but it's definitely not the map variety.

LoL’s problems come from it. With no map variety the only option is more characters.

And due to this whomever is best at that map is the best. It leaves a lot of dead characters and variety can only come by changing the characters every so often rather than having a map that fits their given strengths while another highlights their weaknesses.
