Ye man realy block with your mouse, blocking with your keyboard prevent you from doing the footwork and that´s a huge part of fighting.

It really takes a toll on your movement capacity if you block with keyboard.

Well, I just tried it out for a few minutes and it feels pretty natural to me, don't see that huge difference as I expected. It's much easier to play with keyboards attacks than with inverted mouse movements :P

I use keyboard for attacks, and mouse for defense. but manual blocking is usually last resort scenario that I avoid as much as I can.

it takes time to learn that. there is however  a good thing about it, it doesnt fk up your view, so you can stay centered at your opponent.

Hayley used keyboard attacks, and was a really good duelist (a great deal better than I've ever been). That being said, I cannot imagine trying to use keyboard attacks outside of duel. You would lose all of your momentum every time you need to attack a different direction than you're moving. That would be a nightmare in ganks.

i do it all the time and i am usually on higher position of the score board, that said i am also sometimes pretty low.

as i mentioned, it gives you the advantage of not having to spazz around with your mouse too much, because you dont have to use it on anything else but targeting.
