Riot Games will soon allow you to move your champion in League of Legends (LoL) using WASD keys instead of only point-and-click. This is the first major control change in 16 years, aiming to make the game easier for new and returning players who are used to standard PC controls. The classic mouse controls will remain available, and Riot promises both options will be balanced for all roles and skill levels.

The WASD system will first appear on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) in the next few patches. It will stay in beta while Riot fixes bugs, tests balance, and gathers feedback from casual, high-rank, and pro players. Ranked matches will only get the feature once both systems are equally viable.

Riot is also updating keybinding options, adding a dynamic locked camera, and introducing last-hit indicators in non-ranked games to help players learn. The goal is to make the game more accessible without changing what makes LoL unique.
