In depth camera angles?

Riot as I am sure you are aware purple team is at a major disadvantage to blue team, I know you're doing something with the camera angles in the SRVU however you won't find anything remotely close to the perspective from the purple side in a video after the SRVU please if anyone could give me an in depth explanation of how you plan to fix this problem. It is very frustrating when you have literally taken 100 matches and counted how many were of the purple side and it was at a 67% and only 31 of that 67 were wins while nearly 90% of all my blue sides were wins. Its very discouraging anytime I am on purple side because I typically will loose because of several factors all originating from the camera angle. And then just over and over on the purple side while rarely in 10 matches will I actually get blue. I feel almost like quitting the game after 4 years because this problem has just become so pronounced to me over the years and is just absolutely mind boggingly irritating. It also feels like its a problem Riot won't ever truly address and they never comment on the matter or least not from what I have seen. Please Riot I beg of you help me find some comfort here that this problem is being worked on.

Riot's response is, to a degree, "Learn to play with an unlocked camera, because you should be, regardless of what side of the field you're on".

You assume that I don't play with it unlocked. The Camera Angle has nothing to do with where the camera is placed in perspective to you. You see more of the top side of the map from the purple side then twords the blue nexus making is harder to see the enemy in relation to your character. Furthermore, the angle also plays into dodging mechanics someone on purple side is far more likely to dodge to the left as it feels there is more room to the left then to the right, whilst on the blue side you have an equal near 45 50 degree view from left to right meaning that your natural dodge instincts are more likely to be diversified. To further my point a test was conducted a while back and at several million league matches 55% more are won by the blue side.

The ability to move UI freely would be nice.

I didn't think too much about this issue. Here are illustrations to help explain the camera advantage.
