Control Overview

Control Basics
Keyboard hand: Mouse hand: Taken from a post I was writing about dexterity. Champion / Camera control is the most important factor in winning your games. I had been looking at what you have to be able to do with your hands to actually play effectively.
 * 1) Hit QWER accurately and in time with mouse clicks.
 * 2) Hit D and F according to the spells assigned.
 * 3) Hit 123456 as needed for active items, wards and pots.
 * 4) Use A for attack and S for stop as necessary.
 * 5) Use Alt, Shift and Ctrl modifiers as needed (Ctrl+Q to skill Q).
 * 6) Use Space to recenter / hold camera lock.
 * 7) Tab for scoreboard.
 * 8) F keys for teammates (I don’t do this).
 * 9) Enter to type (where your team will listen!)
 * 10) Whichever key you use to ping.
 * 11) Various other, non-immediate key presses (Z, B etc…)
 * 1) Accurately position cursor at all times.
 * 2) Move the field of vision while maintaining cursor accuracy.
 * 3) Right click to move.
 * 4) Right click to attack.
 * 5) Left click to select champions / minions / neutrals.
 * 6) Left click to cast spells.
 * 7) Left click to attack move.
 * 8) Correctly click based on keyboard inputs.
 * 9) Click-swipe for smart-pings / advanced skills (Rumble ult).

What can you do with the information presented above?

Not a great deal, maybe. It’s hard to reflect critically on your control unless you can identify the deficits. Personally, I watch a ton of streams from first person view so I can compare the speed and accuracy with which I execute the mechanical aspects of LoL to pros. It is the mechanical aspects that I intend to go deeper into in a future post.
