A brand new way to play the Rift is on the horizon.
WASD, or Not to WASD League’s classic Point & Click controls aren’t going anywhere—but soon you’ll have the option to play with WASD movement controls!
- Designed for both new players and veterans.
- More intuitive for those coming from other PC games.
- Rolled out slowly to ensure competitive balance across both schemes.
Rollout Plan - Extended testing on PBE (multiple patches).
- Then introduced to non-Ranked modes.
- Final step: Ranked and pro play after ensuring no unfair advantages.
Feedback & Adjustments Already improved based on early playtests:
- WASD no longer cancels channeled spells (e.g., Miss Fortune ult).
- Ambessa’s passive dash fixed for proper distance.
- Flash targeting options for smoother control.
Extra Features Coming to PBE - Improved Accessibility: More keybind hints in UI.
- Updated Keybinding Options: Bind hidden actions directly in menu.
- Dynamic Locked Camera: Expands view without fully unlocking camera.
- Last Hit Indicators: In unranked queues to help new players master CS.
Looking Ahead WASD is just the start—more long-term projects for League’s future are on the way!
Give WASD a try on PBE and share your feedback to help shape its final form.
Your Rift. Your controls. Your choice.
