For the clamp setting, be careful with champs with channels. Like its great for annie, viktor, taliyah, etc. But if u keep the setting on for pyke/zac/varus it causes aiming for channel abilities to be wacky

[@elbigotesdelatienda]

THIS! 👆 I saw this video and went straight to the game to try it, because I thought ot was an awesome NEEDED settting, and after a couple of games I found myself trying to point a Pyke's hook and discovering the indicator twirling around him like crazy... Damn you Rito! YOU CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING RIGHT!

[@layyx]

enabling this makes f.e. Annie Ult flash combo slower

[@TorontoTondo]

it's the same with vi Q and viego Q curse you riot!

[@sonny9511]

it's terrible for taliyah imo

[@istvanhideg6202]

It’s bad even on annie. If you have this setting turned on, you won’t be able to R-flash (buffering your R is imposible). You will only be able to flash-R which is much slower

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

In sound settings, leaving Voices on does give a competitive advantage. It keeps me sane with the funny voicelines

[@piotrbartczak737]

Rammus players - OK!

[@danielhughes3758]

Yeah, I'll happily keep things like voice lines, music and eye candy on. Anything that makes the game more enjoyable is going to do me more good than getting a microscopic advantage at some point

[@骆军骅]

@@danielhughes3758 i exactly agree

[@philauren]

Clamp Casting makes your ability+flash plays work differently (like Renata's flash+E casts E on a shorter, pre-flash range). The inconsistency of this setting is why I would avoid using it on all champs without testing how your abilities work with it.

[@YuniversalYT]

Yeah I hate this, I hope it’s just a bug and gets fixed soon. I’ve already had many awkward moments on Ori and Lux trying to flash+Q/E respectively

[@FredericoASousa]

That setting doesn't exist in my game. Like, its not an option to pick

[@ricardoromeika950]

i litteraly kept fucking up the yone q flash combo until i went in practice tool and discovered its this “amazing” new setting

[@philauren]

@@ricardoromeika950 Well that's how this channel works most of the time. Tells you what to do because "it's broken" but most of the time you should rethink everything twice before applying it blindly. For example what are those tips on lowering visuals to make your game run 10% smoother while being 200% uglier. Do they think we play on Windows95 that we cannot handle good quality graphics? The best tips I can give at the start of the season is to avoid rank queue, it's pure chaos in this patch. Nothing's even remotely tested and balance's out the window. Where's the preseason at?

[@elpachanga]

I consider binding "a" to "attack move click" to be superior, it is basically the "quick cast" version of attack move, you can always bind "shift+a" to "attack move" for that 1% of cases where you need to see the attack range of your champion, attack move click is just faster.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

I actually bind attack move click to my left mouse button. So I like to attack with that and right click I use for movement pathing. The down side is you can't left click on things without it taking an action for example trying to click anything on the scoreboard or if you don't smart cast then you can't cast anything so you specifically need quick cast all. Would be cool if they improved it more. Also would be cool to make right click for movement only as an option. Still waiting on these feature improvements

[@dimey7896]

[@joeross93]

Bonus tip - if you have a gaming mouse with thumb keys use them to quickcast item slot 1, 2 etc, I'm an Evelynn otp and using item combos is 110% better

[@johnmbishop]

[@StefKRah]

10:30 if you put fps cap at 240 and still have problems try disabling movement prediction, and it will all work fine after. If you really really really wanna use movement prediction on, cap fps to 144 and it won't make problems. Also really importat to know, it's still better to have more fps than your monitor's refresh rate.

[@XAlpt]

i get 50% of my monitors refresh rate sadge (getting 30fps)

[@zidaryn]

What does the movement prediction setting do? I've currently got it off, but you're making me wonder if I should have it on.

@@zidaryn keep it off. You can look it up to see what it does but it won't ever help you even if you have bad ping and stuff these days.

[@Obsidian_Butterfly_xo]

Heey there! :) moved to PC last year around the spring-time around April, am pretty new to these things and trying to absorb all the knowledge i can get lol, so if my monitor lists the highest selection which is for me 165 refresh rate and in game in league i should put my FPS to 240? or

[@StefKRah]

@@Obsidian_Butterfly_xo Unless you use features like v-sync / freesync / g-sync then yes you can put fps limit to 240fps as that will still help with your pc latency regardless of your monitor. If you use vsync, freesync or g-sync then it will limit the fps to your max refresh rate but the image will look better in motion.

[@jhinslejhindarymusic7519]

Having voice enabled also helps you spotting enemies if your champ/skin has a unique line if you encounter them

[@michaelbuls8657]

There is a box you can check that just makes quick cast have a range indicator. Dumb to bind quick cast to shift. Pros usually have that setting for abilities that require charge/impeccable timing. Aim click with mouse is a bit more accurate than on key release...

[@joshuariddellski]

They have bound quick cast to everything and normal cast to shift, I'm gonna try it out. Would be cool if you can have normal quick cast but shift + ability key on quick cast with range indicator imo

[@joshuariddellski]

Nvm, reading the comments you absolutely can! Thanks @StefKRah

[@rythm4964]

I'd be very careful with the first tip. The majority of old players have built muscle memory, and it's a known benefit to have that setting turned off. For example, if you buffer Annie's R out of range and then flash, it activates instantly, leaving no time to react. However, with this setting turned on, it forces you to flash first and then ult. This removes the element of surprise.

[@Lamb666]

Congrats to anyone going 0-5 in their placements.

[@RammusM7]

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

[@markusminny9472]

The shift normal cast is slower than quick cast with the indicator setting so when you hold the spell you see the range if you let it go you cast

[@themoistphantom6523]

Important to note about the champ casting 1:16 theres a bug in zac where if this setting is enabled it’ll Force you to turn around the opposite Way youre trying to use your E ability as the range starts so small the game registers the maxrange behind the champion at times so if playing zac for the time being this setting NEEDS to be disabled to be at all playable with his E

[@dandinzin]

Other champs can have this problem too, like pyke

[@ShiomexD]

Viego E also does this

[@jhinslejhindarymusic7519]

Clamp cast target location within max range seems to be bugged for me, especially on spells that you have to charge like pyke q or viego w. It just goes in different directions except for the direction i wanna cast it.

[@agama__]

Yeah safe to say any ability that changes in max range will bug the setting out

[@Jorfy]

wait thats why my pyke game paly broke

[@jaredlagrey2461]

I gotta say this has been the single most helpful video I have seen studying and relearning league after a 10 year gap. Thank you so much!

the clamp casting is currently very buggy, for example it makes Pyke's Q impossible to hit after moving the cursor around a little bit

[@PyroAquaVentusDragon]

Probably not best for everyone or all Champs. Mostly likely best to use on a case by case basis. I would feel most assassin probably wouldn't benefit a ton since they already have the mobility to point-blank spells.

[@JuliusUnique]

great video, but when it comes to visual clarity, having a blurry ground actually is beneficial because if causes an extra contrast to the sharp champions. When it comes to sound I recommend to also disable the announcer volume. minimap on 100% is fine, more than enough vision still there, also thanks to minimap you will predict where everyone is anyway apart from these 3 things I approve this video as I use the same settings for over 10 years also: hide eye candy and using colorblind can help you as well

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

Binding left click to attack move does mess up certain interactions in the game. Anything else that requires a left click gets overrided by attack move command. You need to quick cast all abilities for it to work and you have to accept that left clicking the scoreboard will move you every time. I still use it on left click, and accept the consequences
