I feel like something is wrong after playing 1 aram, spectate a game or watch a pro game to play a game of SR and be THAT close!
How would it affect the gameplay to let us scroll out 2-3 clicks more. IMO it would be more enjoyable and it might improve the gameplay in general!?
Vlada Cut10 votesWould help a lot for people who played with a locked camera because currently with the max zoom out range, you can't play 
or 
because their spell cast range is higher than the visual screen you are presented with.
We need to have higher zoom out option, and it would honestly help everyone out, both players who used locked and unlocked camera(especially when togging camera to your alies to see what they are doing so you can be more vary of the surroindings).
Zoom also provides a better path clicking and small hitbox clicking, Zoom out would reduce visibility and accuracy. i.e. Shaco boxes, teemo shrooms, nidalee traps, etc, and clicking around them to avoid stepping on them.
Just unlock the camera when needed. Singed mains are probably the only excent ones.

You know you can zoom in, right? I can zoom out for a single ability like Ezreal ult or Jinx ult, then zoom back in when I look for shrooms.
Done259 votesBecause Riot hates people who play with a locked camera. :>
LordGeovanni2 votespress y unlock move around press Y again lock and its back
Darkdemon6539 votesBlizzard's excuse is it's something good players would use to get an advantage that bad players wouldn't use, completely ignoring the other myriad things good players use that bad players don't. I suspect Riot's excuse would be similar.
There are still programs that allow you to zoom out more. I won't suggest you use one as they are certainly against the rules and maybe something Riot will punish. What I will say is I have a friend who has used one such program since season 5 and has not been punished for it once and I don't think I've heard of someone being banned for using it.
ViperVenom3 votesStop this, youre only encouraging people to try cheating like this.
Anidan1 votesMOBAs are generally balanced with their zoom levels at least partially in mind, which is why they let you unlock your camera. Risk vs. Reward of no longer having as much vision on yourself to have more vision elsewhere. Let us zoom out more and you're inherently safer.
Also, if you don't suggest people use those programs, why are you bringing them up on official forums at all and then giving a testimony on the fact your friend hasn't been punished for it? That's sending some mixed messages there.
The Highest Noon6 votesI mean, the game is already zoomed out a bit further than it used to be.
ViperVenom3 votesIt's all part of strategy. Camera control and map awareness are skills, that would be removed if you could just zoom out.
Also letting people zoom out would be like if in CSGO you could choose to play in 3rd person, allowing you to peek corners by standing against the wall.
Nawk2 votesDoes the game zoom in more when the camera is locked? I do use it a lot but i have a friend who cant use the locked cam at all (the new bug locking the camera makes him panic) and he does comment about how zoomed in SR is compared to aram or other games.
Saezio2 votesI guess the reason would be people with wider monitors would have advantage over people with more narrow monitors. And to be fair to riot that is a good excuse.
HungryAngry2SPP2 votes1 It gives a slight advantage.
2 Riot GameS is lazy
3 They also hate people with non ultrapanoramic 4k screens
LordGeovanni1 votesbecause the specific camera range is a strategic decision as you can't just zoom out to spot ganks.
AlienPrimate2 votesBeing able to zoom out a little bit more would do nothing to the fog of war. Typically ganks are either seen on the minimap or not at all. It would be the same no matter what zoom level is used.
LordGeovanni1 votesIts not about seeing through the fog of war is about being able to see further on in your field of view. You can more easily see skill shot angles and you can see ganks earlier.
Doopliss71 votesthis would be for everyone though and wouldn't really matter too much since if you can see them on your screen then you can see them on your minimap
LordGeovanni1 votesit wold be everyone doesnt matter it would make it super easy avoid ganks. it doesnt matter because you can see it on your minimap. if what you said is true then there is no need to change anything because its already available through the mini map. looking to the mini map is a skill different than having a larger sight and thus interaction zone too.
LatetotheRace1 votesHave you tried scrolling the mouse wheel? No but seriously a couple of years riot said it was a technical limitation.
Sihari1 votesZooming out a little bit more would be so helpful, when you are playing on red side... I often have the problem, that I cant see the enemy anymore when I have to hide under the botside first tower or cant move as precise as I do normaly when I push the cam more towards the enemy laner. Thats especially bad with longer ranged enemys like Cait x.x
