Alternate camera control methods, unable to turn off edge scroll.

I've seen this post before a few times, but most are from years back, and I've never seen Riot actually reply to a thread.

Basically, for those in my boat -- We use hardware buttons to control the camera. Some use WASD, others (like me) have a keypad with a thumb control and map the camera control to that. Can't say how irritating it is to use a varying range skillshot (Kogmaw ult, Fizz ult to name a couple) and have the screen suddenly jerk away from me because of the edge scrolling.

I'm sure people will say whatever they will about "get used to it, it's better", blah. But to be frank it just isn't for me and for some other people I've seen as well.

And honestly I feel like this wouldn't even be that hard. Split it into two sliders, mouse scroll speed and keyboard scroll speed, a check box that disables edge scroll altogether, anything. The option to turn off camera scrolling altogether is there, if you set the scroll speed to 0, but that's hardly a good alternative.

That change is actually in tomorrow's patch notes:

#Camera Changes NEW GET YOUR APM UP : Players can now separately adjust keyboard and mouse camera scroll speeds

So drop the mouse scroll speed as low as it can go (off), and have fun!

Haha, I posted that at seemingly the same time as you. I honestly shouted "YES" and am now curious if someone at Riot saw this post or if it's just a coincidentally answered prayer.

toggle locked camera?

although it would be nice if they added a lock camera at current position

No, no, I mean you can control the camera (by default) with the arrow keys. I would like to be able to continue to do this, but disable mouse edge scrolling. Basically I control the camera position with my left thumb.

Ah, that would be a useful thing for them to add then.

And holycrap, I don't know if someone at Rito saw this post and threw it into patch 5.3, but HOLYCRAP. The very next patch after I post this, it's in the game.
