Performing Riven’s taunt lets you cancel the animation, which, in turn, lets you perform super-fast auto attacks between each cast. As of Patch 7.10, this interaction has been removed for Riven. In the past, top Riven players were notorious for ‘taunting’ in between every single Broken Wings cast (this can be easily done by re-binding your ‘ T’ key to ‘taunt’). This is most useful on champions with targeted shields like Janna and Lulu. If you didn’t already know, Alt + ‘key’ will self cast an ability. League of Legends is a game decided by inches and seconds–wasting an auto-attack on a minion or turret could be the difference between a clean 2-0 dive or a tilting turnaround. A random unused key can also be used in place of these mouse buttons. I have this bound to MB4 or MB5 (thumb buttons on my mouse), depending on the mouse I’m using. If you ever want to have a high rate of execution on tower dives, you need to have a hotkey that enables you to ‘target champions only.’ The amount of players I’ve worked with who never use this option astounds me. (Again, personal preference, but I’m pretty attached to this setup.) This significantly reduces the number of action-clicks you need to make.Īssigning Shift + ‘key’ will allow you to pick and choose the few skills that you’re going to want to pre-target - Rumble’s Equalizer (R), is a great example of such an ability.įor all of your smart-casted hotkeys, make sure you have corresponding “Shift-Cast” settings.Īdditionally, I use “~” (the tilde key) as my trinket hotkey, which lets me have 6 possible active items bound to a single respective number. I fundamentally believe that your default Q-W-E-R / D-F / 1-2-3-4-5-6 should be used as quick casting buttons. What you want to do is have both setup by scrolling down. When you open up the hotkey menu, you’ll immediately see the big options: “Quick Cast All” and “Normal Cast All.” Don’t use either. The default hotkeys aren’t necessarily bad–props to Riot on that one–but experimenting with the different options is an easy way to help you find the settings that let you unlock your potential as a player. That being said, there are ways that you can set up your hotkeys that can help increase the efficiency of your mechanical play. I can’t be clear enough about this: at the end of the day, it all comes down to preference. If you like your settings the way they are, there’s no need to change them based on my advice. One of the most important parts of optimizing your League of Legends gameplay is exploring the variety of hotkey options to discover what settings work best for you. Rather, it’s the fact that they’re pressing different keys than you altogether.

If you’ve ever watched the hands of a professional League of Legends player while they’re competing, you might have noticed that their keyboard seems different than yours. It’s not just the spiffy lighting of a Logitech G Pro or a Razer BlackWidow Chroma.
