Riot releases "Summoner's Rift Preview," a look at upcoming changes

Riot Games goes over their most recent revision of the map and explains the changes in-depth. 

While the updated graphical fidelity is certainly a large bonus to the upcoming change to Summoner's Rift, visual clarity and functionality are the key components to the work put into the map.  Art direction has stayed the same, but a few things have changed since the last shown footage of the map. 

The new map focuses on making spells more visible and less blended into the map. Visual clarity enhancements also include more defined barriers on walls within the jungle to make it more clear on where one can juke or flash over a wall.

 In addition, Riot Games has stated that despite the enhanced look, there's less polygons with the upcoming change and the map, if anything, should run better and more optimized than the current Summoner's Rift used in Season 4.

While the map looks nearly complete, Riot Games has stated that it'll be months before it goes public, as much work is still to be done.  Below is a video on the progress of the map.
