i know this sounds kinda dumb but... isn't there a way to fix camera angles so purple team bot doesn't have to lower their screen just to make a skill shot? it gets kinda hard to supp with Braum when i don't even know where the champ is >A<. just wondering if this could be changed so we can at least see a little more of bot lane? (Just a little thought of mine)

Yes, all purple team technically has a disadvantage compared to blue just from the start because of the camera angle. If purple team had the opposite camera view as blue team then the game would be much more balanced in that way. I'm surprised they haven't changed that a long time ago, seeing as how they are always about fair gameplay. The camera angle can make or break a match.

(I don't speak english very well, so... excuse me :P ) I feel in disadvantage when I'm in the purple side, the skill shots are harder and dodge is terribly hard when you cant see where the attacks are coming from (for example, when the bot line is pushed or when you are pushing the top line). I know, you can unlock the camera, but, in the team fights that is another thing to worry about, and is not fair. I hope RIOT could change it some day U.U

I am also curious about this. I understand that camera toggling is an option but some people would rather keep the camera set. The set camera centers around the champion, and therefore cuts off a good portion of frontal view that limits your ability to dodge skill shots or even see enemy champs coming in for basic attacks... This usually takes place in early games IF you're pushed back and you're farming minions for last hits at your PURPLE TOWER. A lot of people have a suggestion: "Custom Camera Setting"... That way when you're pushed back to that BOTTOM PURPLE TOWER you can readjust the camera to your preference and LOCK THE CAMERA IN PLACE and you can have a better frontal view of the champ. Granted this suggestion limits rear view but it's more of a 10% of someone ganking you from the rear of your own jungle trails early game (mainly because the turret is there). Anyway, as I said I hope either the camera will auto set for better vision or you guys (Riot) will allow a Custom Camera Setting for better game play... I know, in general, PURPLE TEAM has bad vision in all lanes - but the section at that BOTTOM PURPLE TOWER is by far the worse for LOCKED CAMERAS. .... The other suggestion was tilting the map -flat- like Twisted Tree lines that way you don't have to struggle with that... But I'm not a fan of that idea... I like the Custom Camera Setting idea better.

I'm all for this. An option atleast to toggle reverse camera for the purple team. Anyone else that wants the challenge then let be. However , for other players that are not used to unlocked camera or bad at skill shots, please reverse camera so I have a chance at bot lane games.

With the new map they are changing the angle a bit, making it higher so the view is no longer a trapezoid. This evens out the amount of map you see on either side, but doesn't completely resolve the HUD issue. The best solution is not to rotate the camera backwards, but to move the HUD to the top. This may work now that the default camera is more square.

For the rest suggesting to rotate the camera, it doesn't work. It adds massive confusion as simple things like top lane become bottom lane, etc. Running to dragon is actually running to Baron. Try playing 5 games in a row on purple with the camera rotated and then play 1 blue game. Totally messes with your mind. There are mods that allow you to do it, search for em.
