Camera Lock Mode : Semi-Locked Suggestion

Shuyin178··2 votes·6,054 views

All I ask is to make it where Semi-Locked can re-center on the champion when you press spacebar. The only reason I don't use Semi-Locked is because it is extremely annoying trying to re-center the camera (which is next to impossible making it aggravating when you're trying to do so). Doing a simple thing like that will make semi-locked more used by camera lock players like myself. And for those that will go "Just learn how to play unlocked", not everyone is able to play like that due to how our brains are wired. It's more than just a simple "practice makes perfect" deal when it comes to that for a number of players.

Can we get some data on this?

more specifically on " due to how our brains are wired"

OT: when playing unlocked it already centers when pressing the spacebar..?

The data is basic neurology. Where not everyone is able to do something even if they are all taught the same thing. A better example would be a phobia of some kind. Lets say acrophobia for this example, the fear of heights. You have people who can go to the top of the highest buildings or wherever in the world and be perfectly fine, then there are people like me that can't because our brains freak out causing us to lose focus and panic, it isn't something that we can just do and get over with a little practice. Camera Unlock, while not nearly as extreme as a phobia, is the same at the core. People can do it and be perfectly fine, while people like myself cannot because when big action hits we lose focus if our champion isn't right here in front of us, making us miss spells and more commonly think our champion is in 1 spot when it is in another. It's hard to understand for people that can easily do unlocked, but know that for a number of us locked players it's a lot more than a simple, "we don't want to do it because we don't feel like it". Finally for the "unlocked can center with spacebar" deal, it's still unlocked and we can still lose our champions. I seriously tried playing unlocked, I tried hard to learn it, but it was impossible with how my brain is wired (such as how I explained before). What I did get out of that practice was the ability to temporary unlock for distance skill-shots and some basic laning vision, but I can't play with just unlocked all the time, it's not possible for players like myself. Semi-Locked can help us locked players do some of the things unlocked can without being unlocked because our champion is in a place we can be aware of their location at all times. Having the re-center with spacebar on this camera will make it where we can have the best of both worlds with a little bit more practice. I do like Semi-Locked because of what it can do for people like myself, but we need the re-center button to make it properly work.

when I first started playing with unlocked camera (years ago in starcraft) I was really bad too and I couldn't keep track of anything, but honestly you just have to see through the failure at first and keep trying, and eventually it will come natura.

Honestly the comparison to phobia's is complete BS. Compare it to riding a bike, nobody can ride a bike at first, but everybody can ride a bike after some practice

Like I said, you can't understand it. It's more than just practice, it's a mental impossibility. Bikes take practice, things like this does not. At least I took time to use a proper comparison for my example.

Hey genius, when you're done trying to convince yourself you're smarter than... someone, you can map a button to re-center the camera and also to lock it. I have buttons mapped to both. Pretty fricken simple.
