Summoner's Rift

[quote=Focuscoene]So I just had my first experience from the topside of Summoner's Rift, when you're fighting "downhill". I felt like I couldn't see anything. Not only are the toolbars and chatbox in my way, but I had a smaller horizon. Is there any way around this? I felt like I could barely function.[/quote]

[quote=emoriam]Don't lock your camera and you'll be able to move around the map with your mouse cursor. In the beginning it takes a bit getting used to but you can switch between the two modes when pressing spacebar :P[/quote]

[quote=Nera]It is unfortunately a problem most of us have... That i know of there is no way around it except *getting used to it*. :( if you find anything let me know! Nera P.S. i personally find they should make it somewhat like twisted treeline... no matter where on the map you are you have perfect vision of your character and all of its surroundings. much easier to navigate. and also what emoriam said[/quote]

[quote=Bludes]As emoriam said - don't lock your camera but it's hard to do. I'm still playing with locked camera and if you play some games you become accustomed.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I used to have the same problem. I fixed it by switching to unlocked camera, which is something you should do even if you're bottom side. Using locked camera makes you unable to see what's going on elsewhere on the map. No gold player or above EVER uses locked camera. Get used to using it, it's a change you'll get used to within 20 games and will [b]permanently[/b] improve your gameplay by improving your map awareness. Also with a locked camera it's hard to flash and INSTANTLY hit someone with a spell as your entire screen shifts when you flash, whereas if you have your pointer hovering over someone and click flash with an unlocked screen, your pointer will still be hovering over them after the flash. Unlocked screen > locked screen Make the change and get used to it.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]Unlocking your camera really helps. It'll take some time to get used to, but it'll be worth the time.[/quote]

[quote=Kazega]Unlock Camera, eye the Minimap. if you can see it, you will see it there.[/quote]

[quote=luizdeh]Some people, like myself, have a really hard time adjusting. Still remember the first time I unlocked and had to run away being chased by jungler+mid. I laughed so hard because I failed in epic style to keep the camera where I needed it and died. At first, try using the Y shortcut for lock/unlocking. This should ease the transition.[/quote]

[quote=Focuscoene]Yup, I unlocked the camera and forced myself to deal with it. By the next matchup, my game had improved ten-fold. Though, if I'm being picky, the camera is kinda jerky. Thanks everyone![/quote]
