"Mouse button drag scroll" should be improved

Hello people

Recently I've been trying out the "Mouse button drag scroll" setting, and I think it would be an interesting tool in comparison to traditional edge panning. It's a neat feature, except it feels really weird. TL;DR at bottom

It feels sensitive, and it looked like it was "drifting". Moving the screen around with mouse button drag scroll does't anchor the mouse with a point in terrain, but rather, some where in-between the ground and screen? This feels like it's exaggerating mouse movement and is very odd to play with. And, since you're not actually anchoring the cursor with terrain, the mouse drifts and your champion along with it, causing some unintended movement. The camera also can be "flicked" aside, which also feels weird, because most of the time you want to just be moving the camera a fixed distance, rather than guessing where it'll drift.

Other than this weird drift, It would be great if a feature could be added in order to quickly disable and re-enable drag control, rather than just drag lock. Drag lock triggers the scroll until re-triggered, which isn't the same as on command enabling and disabling. This allows you to drag scroll the camera around, but when a need arises where you need a camera fixed on the terrain around, you can disable drag scroll and click around freely without the camera being dragged around.

Adjustable mouse sensitivity that triggers upon drag scrolling would also be preferable, since drag scrolling (not even with the drift thing) feels like you're moving much faster than you're normal mouse speed, probably because you're dragging everything you see (except for HUD of course) and it's, usually not like that.

Also allowing drag scroll to be enabled on MB1 would be a neat feature as well, allowing more control over the camera with just one hand (using middle button feels kinda funky to me ngl) This could probably be used instead of the toggle feature I suggested for drag scroll.

I think the riot team has more important things to work on than drag scroll like how aphelios is supposed to be hard but you just auto attack and gg, but removing the weird drift, some refinement, and some adjustable features would be a great addition

TL;DR mouse button drag scroll feels drifty and wonky Please make it feel better to use
