League of Legends Mechanics Guide

Introduction

• Focus on breaking down important mechanics in League of Legends.
• Many guides overcomplicate things with unrealistic combos.
• The goal is to simplify and make mechanics easy to understand and implement.

Key Mechanics Overview

• Identified 15 important mechanics that can increase win rates across all roles and ranks.
• Encourage viewers to watch until the end and participate in follow-up learning opportunities.

1. Spacing

• Definition: Staying outside of the range of the enemy's spells while remaining in the range of your own.
• Example: For champions like Ari, keep outside the range of her charm (1000) while using your abilities.
• Importance of not standing too far away to land your own abilities.

Benefits of Proper Spacing

• Allows for safe harass and ability to bait enemy skill shots.
• Example: Pro player Chovy using Victor against Ari.
• Requires understanding of individual champion ranges, but can be simplified by focusing on commonly faced champions.

Learning Tips

• Focus on champions you often face in your role.
• Memorize only high-threat abilities rather than all abilities.
• Use similar champions as reference for spacing.

2. Auto Spacing

• Definition: Using spacing principles while auto attacking to avoid enemy autos.
• Example: Pro player Deft demonstrating auto spacing to outplay opponents with equal range.
• Focus on clicking on enemies when they turn away, then preemptively clicking back to avoid being hit.

3. Dodging Skill Shots

• Click close to your champion to react faster to skill shots.
• Click more often to make your movement less predictable.

Key Techniques

• Visualize a small circle around your champion—keep your clicks within this circle.
• High-level players click almost twice as often as lower-level players.

4. Skill Shot Accuracy

• League operates on a 2D plane despite its 3D appearance.
• Adjust aiming based on elevation: Aim at feet when the enemy is on high ground and at head when on low ground.
• Cutting Off the Angle: Approach enemies at an angle to ensure landing skill shots.

5. Last Hitting Mechanics

• Increasing CS by just one per minute can lead to significant gold gains.

Key Tips

• Understand Tower aggro and focus on the closest minion to avoid losing CS.
• Use the stop command to secure last hits without travel time.
• Focus on caster minions first when wave clearing for better accuracy.

6. Hidden Mechanics

• Left-clicking on enemy champions reveals useful information about their abilities and cooldowns.
• Use input buffering to cast abilities more effectively, especially in conjunction with Flash.
• Target Champions Only Key: Bind a key to only target champions with auto attacks to prevent misclicks on other targets.
• Residual Vision: Awareness of vision remaining after a stealth ward is cleared; use it to track enemy movements.

Conclusion

• Encouragement to implement learned mechanics and participate in community feedback.
• Reminder of the special time-limited offer for course enrollment and replay submissions.
