On which side do you have the Mini-Map?

Greetings. I wonder which side you have the Mini-Map on the HUD? I've tried to have it on the left side but it didn't work for me, so currently I've it on the right side.

I had it on the left side just once to fix a chat bug (my chat was invisible). I think it's easier to have on the right side because as a right sided person I can focus better on looking a tiny bit left. Besides, I think most people use it because it's the default setup.
Thanks to Aquilegia for this sig!

As a right handed person it should be easier with the Mini-Map on the right side, but I've had situations where I forgot to watch the map and got ganked, so I'll try to have it on the left side just to see which difference there is.

The reason they allow you to swap sides is because some people (like starcraft players) are accustomed to glancing at their minimap when it's on the left. I doubt there's a significant advantage to either side -- it's just whatever you're more used to.
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

For most people, on the right would be an advantage; as most people are right-handed, which generally means that their right eye is also dominant and more receptive, thus rendering it to be better when placed at the right.

I was unaware that you could change the position of the minimap. Thus, I have it on the right. Ive been playing this game for year, and hardly anything has changed for from the default setup. I have, however, put my trinket on the "T" button (T for trinket) and changed recall from the "B" button to space. This, I feel, allows for a much smoother and quicker recall response.

But other then those 2 things, nothing has changed. Im still trying to find new hotkeys, and such.
Yes, that is Morgana. A thank you to Ubnoxius for this sig!
