Everyone’s WRONG About WASD Movement in LoL

The new WASD movement setting in League of Legends has been one of the most talked about changes in a long time. A lot of players instantly jumped to calling it overpowered, unfair, and even game-breaking — especially for ADC mains who spent years practicing kiting. But the truth is, most of that is just panic and overreaction.

WASD movement is not some magical setting that suddenly makes you a better player. In fact, it comes with real downsides that most people don’t notice at first.

In this video, I’ll break down exactly why WASD isn’t the OP feature people think it is. We’ll talk about why some players are overhyping it, what the actual limitations are, and how it realistically affects kiting, movement, and gameplay.

📌We’ll look at:
✔️Why people think WASD is so powerful
✔️The real downsides nobody talks about
✔️How it affects kiting, positioning, and reaction time
✔️Why mouse movement is still just as good
✔️The truth about whether WASD is worth using
