spacebar this is purple side, press down and left when I'm trying to lock on.. no I don't want to see our turret and no I can't see thru the HUD. Camera pls, stop copying blue side, I need help positioning. nvm I'll macro instead or else I'm going to have to wait for SR VU for a fix, after 4 years..

I wish they would just let us lock the camera where we wanted to. Manual camera lock control. That way if i'm in purple side I can lock the camera where I need it depending on the situation. Don't see how that would alter the game for anyone but the people that use it and its a pretty good fix to the problem if I do say so myself.

So long as you keep it a separate function and key-bind to the standard central camera lock. that way you could even switch between them. Wouldn't that be something!? .

As a mentally challenged person I can't handle playing the champion and controlling the camera at the same time, but I like the game and I enjoy playing it. For humans like me who don't have the mental dexterity for free camera play, Riot should do something. Because we are people too. And we buy skins just like anyone else.

Everything in League of Legends has been optimized for being seen from one very specific angle. For better optimization, some stuff doesn't even HAVE a second side to it, so for Riot to make it possible to switch it, they would essentially have to create an entirely new map. They would then have to test it just as extensively as they do the original to make sure that it has cohesion, and nothing conflicts. This is simply not feasible. It would quite literally be like playing on two separate maps in the same game. It's not as simple as just rotating the camera angle, as so many people seem to think so. Look at this image of the developers of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds had to tweak the camera for their game; http://images.nintendolife.com/news/2013/10/aonuma_demonstrates_the_challenges_of_creating_a_3d_environment_based_on_a_link_to_the_pasts_overworld/attachment/4/original.jpg

Can there just be a swap HUD button... Like take the items, HP bar, and map and move them to the top and move the top parts down? That would help.

ok so those who think that they are unbalanced please explain to me how it is for 2 reason 1)you will play on purple and blue team eventually 2)you get the same vision on cait's ult (the ult that was used in saying its not balanced) can you see the top of it on blue team? no can you see the top of it on purple team? no so whats the difference both teams see the same thing its just you have to learn how to position on purple team thats all you have to do

C: > Program Files > Riot Game > League of Legends >Config

Open Input and copy paste this at the bottom of the file

**[MouseSettings] RollerButtonSpeed = 0 **

----------------------------This disables Mouse Wheel , make sure you're zoomed out to the max in game before doing this


This part is the Macro I made myself, this help beat the view disadvantage on purple side.

$wheelup:: IfWinActive League of Legends (TM) Client { send {up down}{right down} sleep 90 send {up up}{right up} } else { Send {wheelup} } return

$wheeldown:: IfWinActive, League of Legends (TM) Client { send {down down}{left down} sleep 90 send {down up}{left up} } else { send {wheel down} } return


there I just made purple side less infuriating to play

your move, Riot. -edit there are spaces and enters, but this forum formatting..........................

purple is balanced, which is why you can see the upper part of cait's ult on purple side.

They originally said they were going to rotate SR 45º to help address this, but they reneged again. This is the one thing the community has been asking for a fix on for nearly 5 years. It's pathetic.

This is just like adding a legendary skin to a champion that's broken as hell. Just draw the textures for "the other side" and let us invert the camera. Stop making excuses. Make it happen.
