Really riot... really?

League of Legends has been out for more than six years, yet they haven't fixed the screen orientation for the red team? What the heck?! I've tried playing with an unlocked camera, but it's just too hard for me. I understand that flipping the screen is too much work, yet all they have to do is make the stat bars inverted. For example, the bar showing your abilities should be on the top part of the screen, not the bottom part. The stat bar showing your champion stats should be located on the top right corner of the screen instead of the bottom left corner, and the bar showing your teammates stats should be on the right side rather than the left. That would work perfectly! And there's really no excuse for them not to do that much. If they can tweak the entire summoner's rift, they can definitely relocate three stat bars wouldn't you agree?

At some point, Riot doesn't change these things because they want people to learn to play with an unlocked camera. The game should be played that way, and they want people to learn it. It's a mistake that new players start with it locked to begin with, honestly. It should default to unlocked, so people don't get used to it.

The blue vs. red winrate, where blue consistently wins more often suggests it is a big deal. But I don't agree with the OP's suggestions.

I really don't get the point of any of the suggestions you made here ....Why should they change the ability bar and all that stuff? What does that change?

If you read the new SR Q&A, they actually did lower the camera a bit so the champ is in the middle of the screen

Locked camera is a crutch, you should try to learn to play without it... I still have trouble playing without it.

Now, I understand that the game is "supposed" to be played with an unlocked camera, and I do whenever I'm on the red side, but after several weeks of playing that way it still feels really weird, and I don't do as well as I do on the blue side. It gets frustrating after a while. And THEcone has a point. Not all players would like my suggestion, so perhaps it should be optional. Heck, it would be really nice if players could drag the stat bars where they want them. That way everybody is happy.
