25 SETTINGS and HOTKEYS you NEED for SEASON 14 - League of Legends

welcome to skill caps guide on the absolute best settings and hotkeys you need to be using in season 14 we won't be wasting your time by going over every single setting in the game instead after over 10 years of teaching and working with the best players in the game we've distilled down the absolute must-use settings and hot keys so let's get right into it starting us off there's a brand new setting ride has added that has been 14 years in the making and it changes everything have you ever tried to flash Al as Annie and nothing happens for a second until you finally drop tippers yeah you weren't lagging for leaks and entire lifetime skill shots operated in one of two ways if it was a projectile known as a line missile such as ezreal's Q then even when your cursor was far away from the Spell's max range upon casting it it would instantly fire compare this to a spell like Annie's ultimate this is not a line missile and so if we cast it outside of its range the game will force Annie to walk forward until she's in range and then it fires here's the thing not every Champion was coded this way for example Caden's ultimate operates the exact same way as Annie's yet if we cast it outside of its range it will instantly go go off this is where the new setting comes in go to options then the game tab scroll down and you'll see clamp cast Target location within max range turn this on and now when you alt as Annie outside of your max range it will instantly fire this can make a lot of Champions easier to play such as carus with his q andw and brand with his W just to name a few and speaking of comboing fast you absolutely need to be using a specific quick cast setup on your abilities normal casting is when you press an ability your range indicator comes up and then you press left click to cast it this is very slow compare that to Quick casting it's when you press an ability and it will instantly cast without any indicators appearing this is fast we've tested this and on average quick casting will make you cast abilities 33% faster than normal so go to settings press that quick cast all button and you're good to go right well not so fast here's the specific setup that Pros use scroll down open up abilities and Summoner spells drop down then where it says normal cast rebind everything to shift plus the ability so shift Q shift W shift e shift R now when you press shift plus the ability it will bring up the range indicator for it like before this is essential to do because even though 90% of the time you need to be quick casting your abilities for the speed Advantage the other 10% of the time you really do need the range indicator some very common examples are when you're wave clearing you often want to use shift plus your wave clear ability to make sure it hits the entire wave another one is when you're using a spell with very high range hitting shift plus the ability will let you know the max range so you know exactly when you're close enough to cast it also don't forget you need to do this on your ward hotkeys as well you want them to be quick casted by default but create a shift hotkey for their normal cast there are tons of warding spots you simply can't do without the normal cast indicator so make sure that you have a normal cast hot key and speaking of making things faster if you want to speed up your rank climb well then skill cap is perfect for you we have the most extensive collection of Premium courses tailored for every single role and the best part is you can try out our service completely risk-free if you don't rank up while actively using skill cap you'll get your money back no questions asked so click the link in the description below to get the rank you've always wanted all right so next next up let's teach you the settings you need to attack move like a pro now many players already know how to attack move which is to press a and then click on the ground near your target this helps to Auto attack opponents without having to be perfectly accurate with your mouse it also avoids the super common problem of misclicking and walking into an opponent when you really meant to attack them it's also necessary for face checking brushes to prevent you from getting brush duped by attack moving into the brush as soon as you see the enemy you'll instantly Auto attack them without having to actually click on them the problem is by default this will attack the nearest Target in the direction moving towards so if literally anything is in front of you good luck ever hitting the target you want this is why you need to go to your settings then game and turn on attack move on cursor this will change your attack move so now instead of attacking the closest Target to your Champion it attacks the closest Target to your cursor this allows you to use attack move just like the pros with Precision instead of attacking the nearest enemy which causes countless problems you also need to go to your settings and then interface Tab and enable show attack range this way every time you do press a a circle will appear around your Champion that represents your max Auto attack range this will make make it super easy to always stay at your maximum distance giving you crazy good kiing and before you think this is some sort of training wheel setting only noobs use literally the best Pros in the world have this turned on for example this clip is ruler using it who's considered the best pro 0 carry in the entire world and speaking of attacking Champions the next setting is all about making sure you do exactly that not accidentally Auto attack a minion or Tower instead completely embarrassing yourself the target Champions only hotkey will make it so that your auto attacks can only hit enemy Champions you can see how it's impossible for me to right click any when I'm holding it down of course this is great at making sure you execute Tower Dives cleanly or win fights in Lane when the enemy is standing in a giant wave but it's really more than that without knowing this hotkey you'll never be able to maneuver into jungle camps without AGG gring them setting up a tower dive on mid lane has never been easier when you can walk right into the Raptors and dash over the wall not to mention there are a ton of Champions that need specific positioning to jump walls with their abilities like Yasuo or even getting the right angle as Jace to knock a camp over a wall to then jump onto it the list goes on to set this up go to your settings hotkeys scroll roll down abilities and Summoner spells and create a keybind for Target Champions only some great choices for this are ZX C and v as typically those don't have anything important on it t or G are good the ailda key to the left of number one is good or if you have buttons on the side of your mouse those can work great too now when you hold down the key bind your Autos will only attack Champions there is one downside to this though it's that it can be difficult to hold this key down while also trying to cast all of your abilities thankfully there's a solution to this go to your settings game then enable treat Target Champions only as a toggle now you'll only have to press the hotkey once it will toggle the setting on and you'll only attack Champions and press it again to toggle it off and now from attacking we go to the opposite the stop command by default it's bound to S and we recommend keeping it that way now of course most players understand that the skill in Las hitting minions is all about timing your attack to be the final hit to kill the minion in order to collect the gold what players don't realize though is that since your auto attack is a projectile the further away you are from a minion the harder it's going to be to time that last hit because of the increased distance your projectile has to travel this is where the stop command comes in what you want to do is move up right next to a minion press the stop command then once it's ready to last it just right click if you try it out yourself you'll see just how much easier this will make last itting now of course we're not saying just use this all Lane you'll be standing still and an easy target for enemy skill shots however this is super useful in any situation where you have Lane control for example a very common scenario is during slow pushes usually you'll have a big minion wave built up so the enemy is scared to fight you at the same time with so many minions of your own they are just machine gunning down enemy minions making it super hard to time your last these are the kinds of situations where you want to use the stop command also any Champion that has an empowered Auto attack spell can actually spam the stop command and right click over and over again which usually both makes a super annoying sound and looks really buggy which is cool I guess and by the way if you're someone who struggles with farming and Las hitting minions then I highly recommend taking our master and minutes course on csing that you can only find on our website our subscribers have been raving at how much this has helped them improve with perfect five-star ratings I highly recommend checking it out all right next up we have fkey cycling if you've watched any pro player or a challenger stream you'll notice them quickly cycle their camera across their teammates to get insane map vision super fast without fkey cycling you'll have to first look at the mini map then identify where your teammates actually are then move your cursor very accurately to click on them and if at any point you miss slightly you'll have to take the time to adjust the camera in the end it's just very inefficient this is why there's a secret to setting this up like the pros go to your settings hot keys and camera control rebind select Ali 1 2 3 and 4 to the respective F keys that shown you have to do this because by default F1 will be bound to yourself which is what you already want to use your space bar for now here's the thing the F keys on your keyboard are notoriously awkward and difficult to hit a lot of players just find them uncomfortable especially if they have smaller hands so if you're someone with this problem we highly recommend trying out rebinding them to Z x c and V the nice thing about this is that if you rest your pinky finger on your shift key like most players do it becomes really easy to just slide your pinky over to the Z key with the rest of your fingers on X C and V and then just hit them in sequence with your thumb hitting space bar at the end to return to yourself it also lets you do this really op trick with zerath where if aain is on your team and alss the enemy you can hold his Ally hcky and actually spam your alt and it's literally an Aimbot so that's pretty cool moving on our next setting is literally one of the most OP tactics we constantly teach at skill cap it's level power spikes specifically levels 2 3 and six these are unique points in the game where you have a massive advantage over the opponent because you'll have an entire extra spell over them this is why if you click on your abilities to level them up you need to stop doing it instead you need to use Control Plus the ability I mean check this out in what world could you do something like this where you EQ through a minion kill it to spike level six and before your EQ finishes you've leveled up your alt to use it on the opponent there are just countless examples where you'll have to level up an ability extremely fast in order to get the solo kill off of these level spikes and if you think scenarios like this will never happen to you well there's actually a fairly hidden mechanic only Pros know about if you level up an ability while it's still in the air you can actually increase the damage while reducing its Mana cost let me show you how it works here Victor has one point in his e ability and so it costs 70 Mana you can see how it does 74 damage now we've leveled up but we don't immediately level up our e instead we wait to casty then level it up midair notice how despite the cost changing to 80 Mana we already paid the previous 70 Mana when we casted it so we essentially saved 10 in the meantime once the E hits it does 114 damage 40 more than before basically you're using the Mana cost of a lower level ability while you get the damage from the higher cost ability now let's move on to some specific video settings that will help give you a competitive Advantage we're going to keep the short and sweet all you need to know is that in general the higher your FPS the more of an advantage it is this is because with higher frames per second the more frequent the game is updating this means that incoming skill shot is easier for you to dodge as you're both seeing it being cast earlier and getting a more accurate picture of where it is currently in the air however this is only one half of the picture you're always impacted by what's known as your monitor's refresh rate a monitor's refresh rate determines how often your monitor will update per second so just like FPS the higher the monitor refresh rate the better as you'll see things on your screen earlier to check your monitor's refresh rate simply rightclick your desktop click display settings scroll down and select Advanced display settings then click display adapter properties for display one click the monitor Tab and you'll see the screen refresh rate drop down you want to make sure you select the highest refresh rate available to you now after you've done this go in game and make sure you disable vsync vsync is notorious for causing input leg which just means it will cause a delay when you input commands making you react slower it also matches your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate which for most people will actually cause you to have lower FPS now league is very weird it's common that uncapping your FPS will cause the game to actually stutter so if that's the case for you cap it at the highest number that gives you stable FPS for most players this is going to be 240 now there's also the importance of visual Clarity for some settings it's actually better to take a minor hit to your FPS in order to make things a lot easier to see let's start with effects quality if we set it to very low this is what lux's Q will look like compare that to when we set it to very high it becomes far easier to see as it becomes significantly brighter now if setting effects quality to very high is to taxing on your computer then we recommend at least setting it to medium as this will be a good boost to your visual clarity now compare those changes to character quality here is Lux set to very low character quality you can see she looks very blurry compare this to when we set it to very high she looks a lot crisper this setting is especially noticeable on neutral monsters like Rift Herald again we recommend setting this to at least Medium as this is where you'll get the biggest boost to visual Clarity with minimal FPS impact next we have environment quality and this will actually have the biggest impact on how your game looks setting this to very low makes everything incredibly blurry and we recommend staying away from it the weird thing though is that there's almost no difference between setting it to low or medium the same thing with high versus very high so either set this to low or high depending on how good your computer is and finally we have Shadow quality this will put Shadows underneath all Champions monsters and minions this means if you turn this on it absolutely tanks your FPS and it provides no competitive Advantage so we definitely recommend turning it off another important setting for both boosting your FPS and getting better visual Clarity is hiding eye candy if you don't turn the this on you'll see that your computer renders a lot of additional unnecessary details throughout summoner's Rift basically you'll want to turn this off you get an FPS boost while having no downsides now one final setting that does give you a massive boost to visual Clarity is enabling color blind mode yes even if you can see the full color spectrum I want you to take brand W as an example look at how much easier it is to spot when you turn on color blind mode this is why we recommend that everyone turns this on and speaking of clarity most people don't know that there have been countless studies done to prove that your auditory reaction time is actually faster than your visual reaction time this means your brain will recognize hearing something like a lux Bine being cast before actually seeing it this is why your sound settings are actually more important than most players realize optimizing them is simple you'll want to disable music voice and Ambience volume all three of these provide no competitive advantage and will only serve too muddy important sound effects additionally consider lowering your pings and announcer volume a bit lower than your sound F volume this way they don't drown out key sound cues and for the next setting have you ever been dead waiting to teleport into a fight then as soon as you respawn your camera just jumps back to you and bit face yeah this is because of a setting called move camera on revive and we highly recommend disabling this this way you can actually land that sick Ezreal ultimate on a recalling enemy when you respawn all right now let's move on to optimizing your interface options by default your HUD scale will be maxed out this actually prevents you from seeing things below you such as incoming jungle ganks this is why you should go to settings then interface and drop your HUD scale to zero this way you can see and react to things around you a lot more next up is the mini map by default the game sets it to 33 which is way too small no top player ever keeps this on default however the next common mistake players make is cranking it up super high this makes the map way too big and actually ironically will block your vision giving you worse map awareness this is why it's recommended to put it anywhere between 50 to 65 this is the most common size range the best players in the world use continue scrolling down within interface and you'll see the show loss of control UI setting you absolutely need to have this enabled it creates a bar above Champions that will count down how long crowd control will last it makes it so you can perfectly time your own crowd control with an ally so you can chain CC enemies and below that you have show names above health bar we recommend you swap this to Champion names with how many different Champions and skins Riot releases it's incredibly difficult to recognize what Champion is actually on your screen this way regardless of what skin an enemy is using you know exactly what Champion it is and can react accordingly and right below that you have Champion highlight on camera Center which you want enabled this will put a circle and an arrow pointing down to you whenever you press space bar to jump back to yourself it's extremely helpful at keeping track of where you are on the screen during chaotic team fights scroll down a bit more and then you see enabl line missile display if you have it disabled all you get is a cursor and a circle around you which makes hitting your skill shots way harder this is why it's mandatory to have it enabled in order to properly aim skill shots and then right below that you have show spell cost you always want this on as there's nothing worse than using your flash and ALT to all in someone only to realize you don't have enough Mana to cast the rest of your abilities so you always want this on so you can make sure you have the Mana needed to full combo opponents now Riot has added a lot of improvements to League over the years but we're not going to lie to you things like emotes eternals and offscreen pings can end up blocking a ton of your screen and just be distracting this is why we recommend you disable the show offscreen pings they do more harm than good and if your teammates are pinging well you can and should be checking the mini map instead after doing this scroll down and under emotes you want to turn off emote bubble display turn emote size small and mute enemy emotes this gets rid of as many distracting emote animations as possible and finally continue scrolling and under eternals Milestone display change it to none this will remove those Eternal pop-ups from the game while you play and finally we have optimal chat settings firstly it's very important you enable time stamps this will make it so anything pinged or typed will leave time stamps next to them this is how all the best players in the world do things like time Summoner spells if an enemy uses flash or teleport you can just ping it then the next time you have nothing to do like when you're walking back to Lane you can bring up your chat check when the Ping happened and add the cool down to it to time when it comes back up there are very specific hock Keys Pros use to keep track of timers in game so next time you typee out an enemy timer in chat before you hit enter press C CR a then crl C now you can press crl V whenever you want to paste that to remind yourself when it's coming back up you then want to build on this where if another Summoner spell is used you press crl V Space Bar then you type the new cool down and then crl a and contrl C again to copy it you then want to update this throughout the entire game by using specific control shift and arrow key hotkeys holding down control while tapping an arrow key actually lets you skip entire words so for example if I needed to remove the first timer I could hold control then tap left Arrow until I'm at the end of what I want to remove from there I hold contrl plus shift and then tap left Arrow until I've selected everything I want to delete press delete then crl a into contrl C again to copy the updated timers once you build this habit it's an absolute Game Changer since you can literally track the entire enemy team Summoner spell cooldowns throughout the entire game and finally as always we have a bonus setting for you we all know how toxic leag can be and getting flamed can easily tilt you causing you to not only play worse but just not want to play to help this go to settings interface and change chat visibility to same team there's no benefit to having all chat enabled as the enemy team can only serve to tilt you now I know what you're thinking well no that's not true it's actually my teammates typing that will tilt me well if that's the case you can simply change it to pre-made only this prevents you from seeing anyone typing besides who's in your party while you'll still be able to see their pings the potential issue or benefit depending on what kind of player you are is that you won't be able to type either this is why we recommend the following setup so change chat visibility to same team then every time you enter a new game type /mute all then after you do that follow it up with /mute pings all this will actually cause you to unmute everyone's pings while then keeping their text muted letting you still type and hear your teammates pings while not having to see what they type all right and now you
