No this isn't a thread saying OMG the view is horrible with fixed camera. We already know that :P
I don't know if this has been mentioned, it probably has been dozens of times, but I'm fairly new to the game and these forums. Yes I'm still ****. When I started I was really ****, so to get the minimal flaming and report so and so blah, blah, blah I'm PRO treatment from smurf accounts, I played bot games. I'm sure mostly everyone did at first.

People say that you can unlock your camera etc. Sure you can, but if you've only played bot games you know you can sorta get away with locking it. Then you're feeling confident enough to play pvp and BAM, you hit purple the first few times you play against players and have a really bad time.

If Riot is unable to change the camera for purple or atleast allow the HUD to be viable for purple, then imo they should make bot matches random too so that new players can become properly accustomed to playing from the other angle. Beginner bots run when hit, players might not lol Added to which, there are different global objectives and ganking paths for purple.

Yes you can create a custom from Purple to practise but unless you have a friends list already it would be boring and well, you're new to the game like you'd have a good one really.

Just my two cents. Blue DOES have the advantage simply because that is where a large percentage of us started and stayed for quite a few levels. If we were able to mix this up from the beginning it wouldn't be such a big deal come pvp and people's frustration.

New players should have more opportunities to get used to being on Purple from the very start of their LoL career. It's only fair as the community seems to be divided. Long term players say it's cool and doesn't matter and it probably wouldn't after a few hundred games, but graduating from a few hundred bot games locked camera on Blue to pvp atm is incredibly harsher than it should be. It just doesn't work on Purple.

So I'm am pleading that Riot adds the option in bot que for Purple or Blue. Atleast until a solution is found. It would make for a happier community if newer players, well everyone for that matter were better prepared.

I'm more making the case that locked camera isn't viable. If a player has kept their HUD the same size, relies on being able to see the cooldowns etc, then locked camera becomes really unviable from purple side. The sooner new players discovered this the better and the best way to do that is to play from purple side. So this really doesn't apply to a large part of the community. It does however apply to part of Riot's bottom line in bringing in more customers and more importantly keeping them playing. It would be better to learn against predictable opponents with random teammates. The custom games with predictable teammates on voice will teach you a lot but not half as much as a random will.
It probably wouldn't be good if they made it random sides because of que dodging. Like you said, there are literally thousands of whine posts concerning it. If you could choose blue or purple then I believe it would help players that genuinely do want to play better do so. The limitation of only playing blue in the bot que at the very beginning of your LoL experience is a disadvantage that slowly diminishes with play but is undeniable.

i have no problem with any cameras in this purple. blue its all the same to me

learn spacebar problem solved

The point wasn't "Learn to use the spacebar," it was "Starting side should be random in bot games so new players can learn how to compensate for the purple side."

I think it's a good idea
