League of Legends is shaking up one of its core mechanics by testing WASD movement as an alternative to the traditional mouse point-and-click controls for controlling champions.
League’s new movement system aims to make movement feel more intuitive for both new and returning players. If players respond well to the change and it proves successful on the PBE, WASD movement will roll out to non-Ranked queues first before eventually making its way into ranked play. This move will make it one of the most significant control changes in the game’s history, fundamentally changing the way players enjoy the title.
