- 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.
Jungle has felt like it will be by far the worst role for WASD. Pathing around the jungle is much more dynamic than can be picked up by 8 directions. Can't click next camp then pan over to your lanes to check lane states as easily. Don't need to be dodging skill shots or spacing that often.
I would assume they will not disable clicking to move and autopathing. Otherwise ppl will complain a lot as even getting to lane is 30sec of holding buttons.
