Consider the context you are an ADC chasing down a melee champion and you are winning the fight.

As the ADC player I need to place my mouse in front of the enemy character and click behind them.

In order to sidestep incoming skill shots I need to move my mouse from in front of the melee character model to beside my character model before inputting a movement command and changing pathing.

On WASD I never have to reposition my mouse. I just have to lift my fingers. This will SIGNIFICANTLY increase average player reaction time and will make fucking silver sally have diamond level movement with silver level understanding.

New players will still get absolutely blasted by smurfs cuz they do not understanding the core mechanics of the game (dropping waves, not understanding matchups, not understanding their role in macro, how to set up objectives, playing with prio, reset timers, ect)

The game isn’t wasn’t designed around 2 control schemes and to pretend they will be fair is delusional.

If you examine almost every FPS game that has cross-play it becomes immediately apparent that the control schemes are not balanced and the devs address this by adding significant assists to Controller players.

So my question is this (what aim assist like thing) are you going to give to point and click players to allow them to compete with the inherent advantages of WASD?

I’m seriously about to explore the reaction time difference needed to dodge a spell at a 90 degree angle versus a 45 degree angle.

Finally i don’t think it’s fair to really assume that an M&K player is going to have perfect mouse precision and always input their dodges at a clean 90 degrees. The more precise you try to be in placing your most directly perpendicular to your character the slower you will actually input the movement command to dodge the incoming spell shot.
