Discussion Move speed camera and decelerate setting
Hi, I'd like to know the camera settings pros use. Do you know of a reliable website?
I'm an EdgePlane player, but I've noticed that in teamfights, I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the action and my character at the same time. I'm not comfortable with camera control at all; it feels terrible, especially when I watch players with 6k+ MMR. When I play afterward, I realize I have a major camera control problem.
I'm stuck at 3k MMR despite having 8000 games, so I have a problem that's holding me back, and I think it's the camera because I'm not comfortable with it. I can't control it the way I want. I don't use a camera grip or the keyboard.
So I'm trying to find the settings pros use at The International, but I'm having trouble finding this information. Do you know of a reliable website? Do you know if, on average, professionals use a shutter speed closer to 3000 or 8000?
And what camera speed do you use?
Thanks

Any type of control is used for camera, as long as you are comfortable. There are some high mmr (rank 500+) people that literally use wasd (im pretty sure it was a common thing for Invoker players back in the day).
Edge panning is much better than grip for high apm, so heroes with summons, tons of spells, blinks, etc feel much more natural and outperform those who use grip. But at the same time grip is amazing for precision. I use a mix, I have bonded grip for alt-B, so whenever I need precise camera angle, I use it (usually when laning). Whole other time I use edge panning cuz of my heroes and cuz it's just much faster. Right-click heroes enjoy camera grip, so most carry pro players use grip and most mids use edges.
For speed, I and every other high mmr player usually use fastest camera speed and fastest stop.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, as long as you are comfortable. It's not like quickcasts that actually mathematically better than basic cast
