League of Legends is testing a new WASD control scheme, 16 years inThe WASD controls will launch in public beta first for an ‘extended run.’

Anyone remember Master X Master? It was a MOBA that had WASD controls as its only option, even had a jump (though it was mostly useless), it felt so much more intuitive than spamming click. I don’t think that’ll get me to try LoL again though.

Isn’t that going to make playing ADC way easier? I always had problems with the fast mouse actions involved in positioning and attacking

Already seeing backlash from the gatekeeping league community. LoL is losing out to newer games partly because of the unintuitive control scheme.

When even Street Fighter is innovating despite the FGC’s reluctance, League needs to evolve or will be slowly left behind.
