What style do u use? Im trying to convince my wife that playing unlocked screen will help you improve on gameplay instead of locked. Can the ppl of leagues help me out. Im gold 5 and i stoped playing locked screen back in 2010 when i was bout lvl 20. Am i right bout unlocked is better?

I changed my keybindings so that spacebar locks and unlocks camera. Instead of holding it, it's now a toggle. I find it to be much better.

Unlocked is inherently more useful. If you need to snap back to yourself just press spacebar. This will be even better soon with the introduction of a kind of spotlight feature to highlight your champion when you center the camera.

Edit: At the very least try to get her to bind the lock/unlock camera button to something easily accessible so she can switch back and forth more efficiently.

I strongly prefer unlocked. If for some reason I need to keep the view centered on me (which is rare, as I'd rather focus on the enemy), that's what the spacebar is for.

personally i don't see how anyone can play with locked screen. i've been using unlocked since i started.

Here's what you do - change her keybindings so that instead of the Y key locking and unlocking camera, set it to the space bar. This will help transition to unlocked.

I think Dyrus played locked camera for his first 2 years as a pro league player, learning to cs and other shit is way more important.

Ive tried tellin her that. She cant see half the team fights n she plays a lot of lux. So many times i told her to ult but its to late when she unlocks n goes to a target lol

I play locked. I tried to learn how to play unlocked but it didnt work out so well, im not that good mechanically and trying to keep track of my cam plus everything else is just too overwhelming for me. Same reason i never liked Dota, they forced the cam controls onto you.

Edit: Unlocked is better, Ill acknowledge that.

I didn't think I would be so alone in this but I use both. Depending on the situation I look/unlock my screen every 10 to 20 seconds or so depending on the stage of the game. Key binding set to y still

Unlocked is much better as it lets you see what your allies/enemies are doing much easier. It also helps dodge/aim long range skillshots.

It is way easier to use global skillshots like Ashe ult with unlocked screen than with locked.

Personally, I prefer locked. Then again, I'm also a bronze pleb.

Though a youtuber I like (Trinimmortal) also uses locked camera almost exclusively and is Plat 1, so it's not like you need unlocked to succeed. I just need to play more ranked, lol.

Coming from a LoL Youtuber, you HAVE to play locked while you record, easier for the viewers. When i watch unlocked gameplay i cringe.

Fair point, but this specific youtuber has actually said in his videos that he can't stand playing with unlocked camera. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my first post.

Unlocked is definitely best for so many reasons.
