Gameplay Controller?

So I wanted to ask the people and staff of LoL about one simple question: What IF...League of Legends would use controllers like a 360 Controller OR a PS3 controller?

Have you ever tried to play an RTS with a video game controller? I once played the Original Command and Conquer on the Playstation. It was the worst thing ever.

Command and Conquer 3 on Xbox was pretty well done

It would be pretty weird. Not really sure how you'd aim skill shots (notably the variable distance ones like Xerath's W or Zigg's Q. Even line shots like Nidalee's Spear and Ahri's Q/E would require precise aiming quickly)

Console controllers are not quite ready for a game like League. Smite would be a better fit as it's camera is always locked, but the store would still be a pain.

apart from shopping I don't see too many problems... You can link each ability to a button, put summoners on the R keys, control the camera with on joystick and you're character with the other. Just seems unnecessarily complicated when the game works so well on a computer though. pings may be hard too. Would also prevent ability to click on map and move in most efficient path, as you can only move with the joystick.
