So I have been playing league since near beta and I have always used a mouse with multiple keys for casting(Like Naga Razr ect.). Now as I get into higher tier playing I realized as i cannot move my thumb as fast as i need to cast I want to move to using qwer-df or default controls. I am hoping someone can give me tips to getting used to the controls. Also am hoping some people could give me good keybinds for comfort .
A gaming mouse that let's you bind keys to a thumb buttons works wonders. There is a learning curve to untrain yourself with any change you make to your default set up if you've played it for very long. Be prepared for some adjustment time whatever you end up doing.
All I can say is memory. Once you get the hang of the change you should be good.
I use 1,2,3,4 for my abilities. ( I play some MMORPG, so abilities on the numbers seem more standard to use.) ~ and 5 for summoners. (I use ~ for escape type Summoners. 5 for offensive types.) Q,W,E,R,T,Y for items. (Mostly use W,E,R for actives. Index and middle finger is faster for me.)
That is just me, most people just use the default.
I use my keys in the standard way, but my mouse has two thumb buttons which I use for item actives in item slots 5 and 6. I play a lot of Veigar, so anything I can do to reduce cast times like minimizing finger movement, I'm game for.
