In the comments that was asked, and they say that Summoner's Rift will conserv its name because, and I quote:

""It's still called Summoner's Rift. It's a name I think will never go away for League, so we're not going to make you call it something else. What do you mean, why? It's a game, and we want to keep it that. It's okay for the game to stay the same and champions' backstories to change""
