Invert Mouse (Riot Team PLEASE READ)

Higher Learning··10 votes·9,820 views

Hi,

This game has been moving on for a while now without the option to invert the mouse X & Y axis. Up until now, I have used 3rd party programs (no longer working) to invert the mouse directions for me.

I understand this is an uncommon issue, but it should not be a hard implementation to add to the game.

Please Riot, add Invert Mouse X&Y options for us proud few!

Otherwise I will be forced off the game :/

Thank you, HL

Hmm, have those programs stopped working as a result of the client security stuff a few patches ago?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Grew up holding the mouse upside-down (father did it). This way you need to use both your thumb and the inside of your palm to click both mouse buttons. Then I transferred this into playing games like halo where you can switch the inversion.

The third-party programs not working has nothing to do with League updates. They do not work with my version of Windows 10 period.

I can hold the mouse right-side-up and have no problem doing this at work -- but to truly be precise & accurate (for league) I desperately need the option to invert both X&Y.

As I have stated above, this really should not be a hard addition to implement -- and I know there are others out there who could also benefit from this (albeit a minority).

pics or it didn't happen. I'm confused how you would hold it...

It males sense if you consider a wireless mouse. Basically he's just applying pressure to the buttons by pressing the inside of his thumb or outside of his hand to each button.

Why... Would you want to? Seems fishy.

Not to knock your play-style, but I am also curious why you would want that.

I use the inverted joysticks on a controller but have never heard of using the mouse upside down.

Hey there Higher Learning,

My name is M0useRat from Riot Games Technical Support and I'll be helping you out today. Thanks for checking in about mouse inversion. Currently our dev team isn't working on any features that would include this in the client but, you may be able to find other 3rd party applications that get along with League.

If you feel like there is a large group of players who would benefit from this feature being in the game I recommend you make a post on the boards post to try and catch our dev teams attention.

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/ Our development team is always checking the boards out for new ideas that the community wants. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more problems or questions!

TL;DR There aren't enough people who need this option for Riot Developers to spend any time considering it.

It's been a long, fun trip! Later League!

Two Riot responses at a clash. Typical.

ToS says no third party. Security tightened. Is told to get a third party program.
