Camera Offset is the Wrong Way to Address Purple Side Camera

Riot doesn't seem to understand the whole picture of why people hated purple side camera, so let me try explain why I would rather use fixed camera when I don't need to see off screen. Having your character centered in your camera is a lot like having your eyes be the center of your self. Now imagine that your eyes are 2 feet above you and to the right. Then pick up a book and read it from right to left. That's what having the offset camera feels like. Sure, you can get used to it and make it work, but it always feels awkward and clunk. The offset camera only addresses the fact that looking down sees left than looking up. When you use it on purple it's a little nicer for when you'd otherwise have to manually move the camera, but it's still really awkward. And the instant you want to actually center yourself you're sitting there wondering why the fuck you're in the top right corner.

Seriously, put in the time to do the correct fix. Rotate the camera 180%. Fix whatever level art needs to be fixed. I couldn't care less if there's some confusion between what's top lane and what's not.
