Best General Settings
First, let’s go over the General Settings. The two settings that you’ll want to pay special attention to areGraphicsandSound. Each setting will be explained, including what it does, why it matters, and how to adjust it.
Graphics Settings
In the settings menu,select ‘Custom’ to adjust everything manuallyinstead of using the default options. If your device is powerful, you can set Frame Rate, Graphics Quality, Resolution, and Effects Quality to the highest levels. However, since most players use phones that may not handle max settings well, below you’ll find somerecommendations tokeep the game running smoothly with responsive controls. Each setting will be explained, including what it does, why it matters, and how to adjust it.
Description And Reason
Frame Rate
60 FPS
If your device can handle it, set the frame rate to 120 for the smoothest performance. However,for most phones, 60 FPS is the best option. It offers smooth gameplay and stability. Don’t choose 30 FPS as it can feel sluggish and laggy.
Graphics Quality, Resolution, Effects Quality
Low or Medium, depending on the power of your device
Reduce lag and prevent over heating. Setting these too high can negatively impact both your gameplay and the life span of your device.
Floating Text
On
Always keep Floating Text on, even on weaker devices. You cansacrifice Graphics Quality, Resolution, or Effects Quality to keep Floating Text active.
It showsthe damage you deal to enemies, the damage you take, and helps track fights better. Without it, you won’t see any damage numbers, making it harder to tell if your attacks are landing or how much damage you’re taking.
Interface Animation
Optional
This controls how interface elements likemenus, notifications, and champion selectionappear and transition on screen.
Character Inking
Character Inking is colored outlines around the models. It helps youeasily tell apart allies and enemies, especially in team fights. However,you may not immediately tell apart which champion is which because of the outlines, making it harder to predict their moves and how to counter.
Automatically lowers resolutionto maintain performance when the device overheats.
Map Brightness And FOW Brightness
It’s recommended tokeep things in the middle. But you can leave them on Default or adjust them to your preference.
Adjust the brightness of your minimap and fog of war. The fog of war is the dark gradient at the edges of your screen while in matches.
Champions Outlined At Screen Edge
A useful feature thatdisplays champions' icons at the screen’s edge: Red for enemies and blue for allies.
Display Minimap Champion Healthbar
It lets youquickly see which champions have low HP on the minimap. This helps you decide whether to assist a teammate or go for an easy kill without having to adjust your camera around to check the situation. Seeing champions’ HP on the minimap isespecially useful for champions with long-ranged ultimateslike Ezreal, Lux, Jinx, Draven, and Ashe.
Sounds
These settings control the game’s audio, including music, voice chat, and other sound options.
Sound Effects
High
Thanks to sound cues, you’re able to sometimes react in time to dodge enemy abilities.
Champion VO
It’s best tokeep it between Medium and Lowto ensure you’re able to hear more important in-game sounds.
Loud music can drown out important sounds and pings.
Ping And Broadcast Volume
Announce Pings
This isthe voice you hear after a ping. It’s very handy if you don’t know what the ping is about or if you’re focused on something else.
Verbose Announcer
Alerts you when epic monsters are slain or your tower is under attack.
Best Controls And UI Settings
Most Control and UI settings come down to personal preference. However, keep in mind thatif you enable too many max settings, they will strain your device. So be mindful of what you’ll turn on and what’s not. Below, you’ll find some recommendations.
Highlight Medal Enhanced Display Switch
Thisdoesn’t impact gameplay, so you can adjust it as you see fit.
Keeps your team’s chat clean and clearwithout unnecessary clutter.
Game Interface Transparency
It controls the transparency of minimap, pings, champions’ icons, and more. You canpreview changes by adjusting the barin the settings.
Strategy Panel Transparency
Lower it to your preferences
This panel displaysessential game data, including champion details, Summoner Spells, wards, runes, items, gold, stats, and the option to mute players if necessary.
Reduce the transparencyso you can still see what’s happening around you while this panel is open. This is especially important in Ranked matches, sinceyou can be attacked while checking for information with the panel blocking your view.
Store Transparency
This is where you buy items. It’s best tolower the transparency, especially in Ranked. If the store menu isn’t transparent,you could get attacked without even realizing it.
Indicator Style For Attacking Units
This setting shows youAttack Damage (AD) and Ability Power (AP), Armor and Magic Resist indicators. Keeping it on provides you with combat information to make better decisions.
These settings optimizetargeting,movement, andability behaviorto enhance precision, responsiveness, and adaptability.
Portrait Lock
On - Fixed Display
Super useful in fast-paced fights. When you’re near an enemy champion, their portrait pops up.Tap it to focus your attacks on them. With the ‘Fixed Display,‘each enemy’s portrait stays in the same position, so you can quickly and instinctively pick your target.You can still drag to target, but in a chaotic team fight, wasting time dragging and risking choosing the wrong target is the last thing you want as every millisecond counts.
General Targeting Priority
Low Health (Absolute)
This setting ensures your attacksprioritize the enemy with the lowest total HPrather than their percentage-based health. For example, you’re faced with an ADC and a Tank as follows:
You’ll attack the ADC because they have lower total HP.
If you choose ‘Low Health (%),’ then a Tank with 4000 HP at 50% (2000 HP) will be prioritized over an ADC that has 2000 HP at 100% (2000 HP) because the Tank’s health percentage is lower. This could lead tomistakenly targeting tanky enemiesinstead of squishy, high-priority targets like ADCs.
Force Attack Follow
Off
If this setting is on,your champion will keep chasing a locked target even if you attempt to retreat. For example, you lock onto an enemy champion and start attacking. Their team arrives, so you decide to retreat. In the chaos, you accidentally click to attack while retreating. And so, instead of running away, your champion keeps chasing the locked target, andlikely getting you killed.
Dash In Move Direction
Optional. Depends on your playstyle and champions
This setting affects how dash and blink abilities behave.If ‘On,’ your champion will dash in the direction of your movement stick, which is useful forquick escapes. However, some champions like Tryndamere or Rakanmay pass through their targets, and not land their abilities properly.
If ‘Off,’ dashes prioritize targets instead, which can help your championsland right on the enemieswhen engaging butmay cause issues when escaping. For example: If it’s ‘On,’ Tristana will always jump in the direction you’re moving, which helps when retreating. But if it’s ‘Off,’ Tristana may jump straight into her pursuer instead of away.
So,test both settings to see what works bestfor your champions and playstyle.
Lock Target System
All
This determines what you can target.Choosing ‘All’ is the best option, especially if you’re a multi-laner. It allows you to attack any target without restrictions.Supports may take ‘No Minion/Structure’to avoid interfering with their ADC’s last hits, but this difference is minor.Never select ‘Off’, as it disables target selection entirely. You don’t want to hit a Tank repeatedly when your main target is a carry, especially if you’re an Assassin.
Ally Buff Targeting Priority
Always Self
If you’re not a Support, choose ‘Always Self’to prioritize shields and buffs on yourself.
If you’re a Support, ‘Low Health (%)’ or ‘Low Health (Absolute)‘helps you quickly save teammates. However,if Support is your main role, then ‘Always Self’is also a great choice. It allows you to quickly protect yourself while you can still drag your abilities to protect your allies.
Default
This setting determines how your move stick behaves.
If you choose ‘Follow’: The move stickfollows your finger anywhere on the screen, which can obscure important details and make movement less precise because your finger has to reach too far.
If you choose ‘Locked’: The move stickstays fixed in one position. If you misplace your finger, your champion may move in an unintended direction.
If you choose ‘Default’: The move stickoffers more precise and comfortable movementwithout interfering with your view of the game.
Button Aiming Sensitivity
High sensitivity is ideal for players who wantto quickly spam abilities. Low sensitivity around20% provides more accuracyandcontrolover aiming. Adjust to your own preferences.
Joystick Deadzone Size
Increase thedeadzone sizeif you often aim by accident.Decrease it if auto-targeting happenswhen you intend to aim manually. You need to experience this by yourself to find the perfect deadzone size that fits your playstyle.
Locked Button Centers
When ‘On,’ you musttap the exact center of ability buttons to aim properly. This makes ability distances center around the button, which can feel restrictive and increase the chance of missing your target.
When ‘Off,’ thepoint where you press becomes the center. This allows for better casting flexibility and reduces the chance of miscasting.
Action Cancel Method
With ‘Default,’ youcancel abilitiesbydragging them to the ‘X’ mark. It’s safe and reliable but takes slightly more time. ‘Alternative’ lets you cancel by dragging a set distance away from the button, making it faster but riskier. If you don’t drag far enough, you might accidentally cast the ability. If you prioritize speed and have precise control, ‘Alternative’ is a good choice. Otherwise, stick with ‘Default’ for safety.
Ping Button Size
The different sizesdon’t really affect anything, so it’s just your preference.
Manual Aim Time Limit
7-20%
This setting determineshow long you may manually aim an ability before it auto-casts. The lower the percentage, the faster abilities transition to their automatic state.
A higher percentageallows more time to aim manuallybut can feel clunky and terribly slow you down, as itrequires an extra button pressto trigger the ability’s second phase. So you’ll want to keep theManual Aim Time Limit from 7 - 20%to have enough time to position your ability, but not take so long that it’ll risk your gameplay.
Aim Panning
This settingexpands your visionby slightly panning the camera, making iteasier to finish off low-HP enemies who escape off-screen. It’s especially beneficial for champions like Lux, Ezreal, Draven, or Vex. With Aim Panning on, you may alsouse their ultimates to scout the area around you.
Camera Height
This setting adjusts your camera height. Keeping it at Medium limits your vision, so it’s best toset it to High for better map awareness.
Ability Mini-Cam
This setting is a must-have if you play champions with long-rage abilities like Ezreal, Lux, Twisted Fate, and more. It addsa small window near the minimap, giving you a clear view of your abilities in action.
Camera Pan Sensitivity
This setting controls how fast and far your screen moves when dragged. Higher sensitivity (50-55%) lets you pan farther with less effort, making ituseful for checking objectives and distant areas.
Lower sensitivityimproves accuracy for checking nearby surroundings. With low sensitivity, you can still check objectives by tapping them on the minimap. So at the end of the day, it depends on your playstyle and what your priority is.
Semi-Lock Camera
This setting is difficult to use and is meant for pro players only. It expands your vision butstops the camera from following your champion, making it easy tolose track of your position, HP, and mana. If you’re attacked, canceling the semi-lock state may take too much time and canturn you into an easy target.
Since the camera lock is at the top of the screen, you’ll need to adjust it with your index finger as your thumb won’t be fast enough for team fights. Plus,the semi-lock button is close to the ultimate button, increasing the risk of accidental misplays.
Death And Spectate Panning
This setting controls how your screen moves when you’re dead or spectating. Natural pans in the direction you drag, while Inverted moves in the opposite direction.Choose what feels more intuitive for you.
Minimap Auto Pathing
Especially handy for early game during the laning phase. This function lets youset a path for your champion by clicking on the minimap. Your champion will move automatically, allowing you to rest your fingers or multitask, like checking items or other players.
Quick Cast Empowered Attacks
This depends largely on you because it’s a very controversial setting. If enabled, champions like Jax, Garen, or Rengar willinstantly use their ultimates on anything when in range. That includesminions or even Honey Fruitsinstead of enemies. Quick Cast Empowered Attacks isespecially problematic for Rengar,since this is the champion that suffers from it the most. It’s a double-edged knife:great for fast execution but risky if enemies are out of range.
Level-Up Suggestion
It’s useful for new players asit recommends which abilities to upgrade. However, experienced players who know optimal skill orders will likely prefer manual leveling.
Auto Level Up
Like the level-up suggestion,this setting isn’t ideal for experienced players. In many situations,you’ll need to adapt your skill upgrades based on in-game situations, and auto level-up can limit your potential and hurt your gameplay.
Warding Aim Assist
This setting automatically places wards in nearby bushes, which can be useful for hiding them. However, it can be frustrating when you need vision in a specific spot rather than just the nearest bush.Turn it off for more accuracy.
Ping Magnifier
Fixed
The Fixed option keeps the magnifier at the top of the map, ensuring a clear view of the minimap for accurate pings. The Following Magnifier can be distracting and cover important details.
Cast on Button Press
With this setting on, abilities activate instantly, leaving no chance for second thought. Turning it off allows you to hold the button,giving you the option to cast your ability or cancel it.
Button Transparency
100%
Keeping it at full visibility ensuresyou can clearly see and use your buttonsfor quick and precise actions.
Flash Combo
Flash Combo actually creates more problems than it can solve.Keep it off for more accuracy when executing Flash combos. If enabled, it may target the wrong enemy, ruin your combo, and waste your Flash.
Item Recommendation Requests
This allows you and your teammates to suggest items to each other, saving time and improving teamwork. For example, if your top laner is struggling against Mundo without an anti-heal item, you can quickly suggest Thornmail without needing to type out an explanation in chat.
Recall With Pre-Ordered Items
With this on, you’ll just haveanother redundant button to recall. With this off, you’re able to see how much gold you need for your next item and easily ping this information to your teammates.
Ward Alerts
This new feature helps prevent tunnel vision byalerting you when an enemy crosses your ward. It also shows enemies standing near said ward on the minimap, helping you react in time.
The rest can be adjusted based on your personal preferences. However, please note that these are just recommendations. If any setting feels uncomfortable or makes the game harder for you, tweak them until they suit your playstyle. Good luck and have fun!
