Moving the camera and aiming skillshots at the same time

I just started playing with unlocked camera and I got used to it, but have an issue landing anything while also having to move my champ a lot and the camera with it.

During laning phase and early game I do fairly well, but when the game gets faster with a lot of team fights and flashes + speed boosts all over, I start sucking. I find it harder to kite and aim than chase and aim, because when I’m kiting I need to push my camera in one direction and then aim my skillshots to the back, and I physically cannot seem to do both precisely and quickly. When you’re chasing after someone my cursor always stays in generally the same area so moving the camera and aiming isn’t that much of an issue.

Now, my question is, how do I get better at it? How do you guys do it? I don’t want to lock my screen for team fights and want to learn to play unlocked all the time since it’s so much better.

Is my mouse speed too slow? Is my camera movement speed too slow? Is it just about practice? Am I not even supposed to move the camera during intense team fights?

If you're kiting back, your mouse needs to move behind you to click the ground, anyway. Moving the camera is just another part of that, that you can realistically do in the same motion. Just practice. Go into training mode, give yourself unlimited mana and cooldown refreshes, and practice kiting an imaginary target. You can set up practice dummies along your path to aim at, so you have a target.

You can press space to lock the camera to your champion as long as it's held. If you're better at landing skillshots with the camera locked, you can just do that every time you're aiming one
