If the game only has one map and the characters are bad on it, isn't that a character design issue? You can change the map to be more varied/balanced, if it's restricting the design that much. Adding more maps won't make the first one more fair. That's just rock paper scissors. And that's fine for a small, casual game. But league wants to be a skill based competitive game.

    LoL’s success is because it’s a casual game.

    It’s not about making the first one more fair, you aren’t going to have 100 characters equally valuable on a single map while making those characters unique.

    If you have 10 maps though you can make those 100 characters equally valuable as a combined average across those 10 maps.

    Though that matters more in a competitive game than a casual one. Actually LoL’s lack of skill based competitive nature is likely why they don’t do that. Someone who plays once s month will have an easier time learning the game if it’s a new character that does the same as everyone else than if there’s a new map that makes the characters have to play completely different.
