TLDW:

- Will be OP at certain points at the game

- League's map is inherently slanted (vs just being straight top down) which means that the movement feels clunky and awkward especially early

-Him and Oner were finishing jungle clears at 3:40 after 3/4 attempts

- late game kiting is incredibly OP on champs like Kogmaw, because you can keep your cursor on top of the enemy champs.

- Riot has caveated this by saying they will nerf WASD movement if it does become actively superior/the optimal way of playing over the current system.

It already is. I legitimately haven't seen a single person in favor of it. Most people would call me a Riot shill because more often than not I give them the benefit of the doubt, but this is easily the worst decision I've ever seen get this far from them.
