Key Mechanics

1. Spacing

• Definition: Staying outside the range of enemy abilities while remaining within range to attack.
• Example:
  • Ari: Q = 900 range, E (Charm) = 1000 range
  • Lux: E = 1100 range; maintain optimal spacing.
• Goldilocks Zone: Optimal range for both attacking and avoiding damage.
• Benefits:
  • Safely land harassment
  • Bait enemy abilities to waste mana
  • Create windows for counterattacks.
• Tips for Learning:
  • Focus on common champions in your lane (e.g., mid lane champions)
  • Learn ranges of high-threat abilities only.

2. Auto Spacing

• Definition: Utilize spacing mechanics while auto-attacking.
• Importance: Champions move differently when auto-attacking compared to casting spells.
• Technique:
  • Attack when enemy is facing away and retreat when they turn to face you.

3. Dodging Skill Shots

• Key Tips:
  • Click closer to your champion to react faster
  • Increase click frequency to appear unpredictable to opponents.

4. Skill Shot Accuracy

• Understand the 2D nature of the game despite 3D visuals.
• Aim for the enemy's feet on high ground, and their head when you're elevated.
• Cutting off angles: Approach enemies at an angle to land point-blank skill shots.

5. Last Hitting Mechanics

• Impact of CS on gold income:
  • Average gold per CS: 22
  • Small improvements in CS can yield significant gold increases.
• Techniques:
  • Understanding how tower aggro works
  • Using stop command (S) for instant last hits
  • Focus on caster minions first to guarantee last hits.

Additional Mechanics

• Target Champions Only Key: Rebind for easier targeting of champions in various situations.
• Residual Vision: Awareness of vision persistence after stealth wards are killed for strategic advantages.
