Red vs. Blue side

I typed this up twice already and both times my computer crashed so now I'm going to do a "too long didn't type" version... I think its about time Riot fixed the issue of blue side having the winning advantage over red side. This is true across all elo's according to some statistics that I have seen, and it comes down to one thing: the camera angle. I realize that if I was good at playing with my camera unlocked this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not good at playing like that and it honestly is enough to take the fun out of the game for me. On top of that the statistics show that I'm not even close to the only person who's gameplay is affected by this. I just can't wrap my head around why Riot hasn't fixed this (what would be a very easy fix) when they are so gung ho on making champions and items as even as possible. why not make the map as even as possible too??

P.S. I'm totally not sure if this is where I should post this or not. my goal is that eventually someone at Riot will see this (hopefully with a lot of support from other players) and it will eventually get fixed. if this isn't the place for that could someone tell me where to post this instead? thanks all!

This has been an issue for some, but Im sure there will be people commenting that they have no issues with the camera angle

I had the same issue, made the same complaint, and got some advice: if you plan to keep playing league, play with the can camera unlocked - you'll be better for it.

I figured I'd accept it and tried. It was really awkward for 1 game, kind of awkward for the second, and by the third game i never looked back.

I watched my brother play and he had the same issue; i gave him the same advice and within 3 or so games he stopped noticing as well. It's something you pick up quickly tbh.

Also as an fyi, the red-blue win differences are more than just camera angle. The map asymmetry, with Baron vs Dragon, as well as bot side vs top side (easier to gank blue bot, easier to gank red top, easier to tower dive red bot, easier to tower dive blue top) (easier for jungler to start red buff on blue, easier to start blue buff on red), etc... also contribute.
