Q/W W/A E/D R/S D/Q F/E ping-R shop-F recall-C lock/unlock camera-space shift+right click = atk move

Wondering what your thoughts are on this key bind, as its the one I use.

P.S. Does anyone else use this?

Ya know this is a nice setup, I think I'll use it from now on. :D

I use the same keys for the first 6. I use R for trinket, F to hold position.

I hail from Starcraft roots, so having "A" be the command for "Auto Attack" and "S" be the command for "Stop" is something I would be reluctant to change.

That said, I do think there could be a better key layout had than the current one.

A key binding with a greater chance to fat-finger a summoner's spell? A chance you roll on every Q, tab and ping? Seems like a bad idea.

Personally I have never missed a summoner spell, or hit one accidentally. But if you don't care about this layout, that's fine by me

Well, it's good that you don't do that. But hey, you asked for criticism on the layout so I'm just sayin'.

It's all a matter of what you're used to. Maybe qwer makes it easier to get to the highest level of play, but I feel like holding my fingers on WASD more comfortable. I changed it to this way after my first game of league and has been like this ever since.

IMO your fingers are too close to eachother if you hold them on QWE. F is so far away from those buttons. I hold my index finger on D and ring finger on A. A good argument is that you can't roll your fingers as quickly over QWE (as I use my middle finger for both Q and E (W and S for me)), but I feel like it doesn't delay much. (Let's say it delays a lot less than having range indicators enabled). I used to play fast paced action games where you have to change directions very quickly so I feel confident using WASD for abilities.

Note that I think it's a bad idea for anyone to overhaul your key bindings like this if you're already used to another set of keys. It'll take a long time to get used to new key bindings.
