Riot Games puts an end to the debate that has been going on since the release of League of Legends!
After the rest of this announcement
the oldest Unresolved League of Legends Debate (until yesterday) was famous The main position for the Flash Summoner spell. Players have never been able to agree on the perfect key to contain the most played Summoner spell in the game. Not to mention players with highly individual controls like those who set the B/V key to this spell (because: it’s the key their thumb naturally rests on), most players argue To know whether it goes to F key or D key.
A more serious discussion than it seems?
This discussion is always a A little community troll towards himself. The obvious answer is that there probably exists There are as many correct answers as there are players, as the best key position will always be the one you are most comfortable with. However, some of the arguments on the primary key are still relevant.
there F key Seems to be the default choice most popular, and perhaps most relevant to this discussion. If we look at the universal natural position (which assumes you play with your left hand on the keyboard and your right hand on the mouse), The F key is the easiest to access. It is just below the R key, on which the index finger is located, the finger used most often by most humans. Setting the flash to F therefore allows to react theoretically a few milliseconds faster than flash on d, which can mean the difference between life and death. Let’s be clear that here we are in the optimization details, and that before a very high level game, this thousandth part will not make much difference.
Defenders of D key Put forward the fact that it seems to them It’s more natural to have the summoner spell they use the most on this key. It’s definitely technically a bit more “difficult” to access than the F key, but Once a certain skill is acquired, it is not difficult to trace it with the index or middle finger. Can do this too avoid panic, ie when a player tries to use his other summoner spell but ends up pressing F instead. The argument makes perfect sense, unless one is playing with TP. It also makes them feel more natural Looking at the position of the spells on the screen, place the flash on the left side, i.e. on the first spell in the reading direction of a Westerner.
Status of Riot Games
This little line Hidden in patch 14.2 are bug fixes (If we put it in English, it’s to show that it really comes from Riot Games and isn’t a troll added during the translation to French) The publisher’s position in this discussion is clear: Flash goes to the F key according to them.
This discussion may seem trollish but this question has always been of great interest to LoL players. Even the sport’s biggest stars have weighed in on the debateMost professionals respond that they put the flash on F (faker, caps, peanut…), but some diehards prefer the D key like a ruler.
Beneath its appearance as an inside joke, this debate remains Interesting for beginnersNot because it’s interesting in itself (we’re obviously nitpicking), but because it’s compelling Encourage newbies to think about the position of their keys, to find the configuration that best suits them. And it’s always easier to get going when you’re well-prepared and comfortable with the game’s controls, than when the basic controls seem clumsy.
