Best LoL Settings: Quick Cast, Camera, Hotkeys and FPS (2026)

League of Legends ships with settings that suit a brand-new player, not one who wants to climb. A handful of changes — quick cast, attack-move, camera control and an uncapped frame rate — make your champion respond faster and your screen show more, and 2026 added new options of its own: WASD movement in ranked, per-champion keybinds and last-hit indicators. This guide lists the settings worth changing, what we'd pick and why, where each one lives in the client, and the 2025–2026 additions. Names are written as they appear in the client.

The settings worth changing

Our picks are a starting point, not a rule — many high-elo players use normal cast on a few abilities they need to aim precisely.

Casting: normal, quick or quick with indicator

League has three cast modes: Normal cast, Quick cast, Quick Cast with Indicator. (Smart cast is the old name for Quick cast.)

Attack-move and targeting

1. Bind Player Attack Move Click.

   One key press attacks the closest enemy to your cursor — no right-click hunting for a target.

2. Turn on Attack move on cursor.

   Attack-move then targets near your cursor instead of near your champion.

3. Hold Target Champions Only in fights.

   Your clicks ignore minions while the key is held — leave "Treat 'Target Champions Only' as a toggle" off.

4. Practise in Practice Tool.

   Ten minutes of last-hitting with attack-move makes it automatic.

Camera

Camera Lock Mode offers Per-Side Offset, Fixed Offset, Semi-Locked. A locked camera is easy but shows less of the map in the direction you're facing; a free camera (Default Camera Mode: Free) lets you watch fights, the minimap and the next objective. Semi-Locked is the in-between that many players learn on. Bind a key to centre on your champion, and tune Camera move speed for mouse and keyboard until edge-panning feels controlled.

Video and performance

The Frame Rate Cap options are 25, 30, 60, 80, 120, 144, 200, 240, Uncapped. Pick one above your monitor's refresh rate (or Uncapped) and leave Wait for Vertical Sync off — V-Sync adds input delay. If your FPS drops in fights, Riot's own performance guide points at anti-aliasing and shadows first; character, environment and effects quality matter less for gameplay than a steady frame rate.

New settings in 2025 and 2026

1. Patch 25.24

   WASD movement (Keyboard (WASD) or Point & Click under Hotkeys) — allowed in Ranked from 26.9.

2. Patch 26.5

   Last-hit indicators in Co-op, Swiftplay, Custom and Practice Tool — not in Ranked.

3. Patch 26.8

   Per-champion keybinds and quick-cast settings, set in Practice Tool.

4. Patch 26.14

   Deafen and self-mute toggle once per 60 seconds; the remake vote starts automatically.

5. Patch 26.21

   Replay downloads limited to 10 an hour.

WASD adds Dynamic Camera and Scout Ahead (Mouse 3 by default) to the camera menu. Last-hit indicators reached Normal Draft in patch 26.12 (off by default) but aren't allowed in ranked, so don't rely on them if you practise for ranked.

Pings and comms

Ping limits depend on Honor: at Honor 1 you get 2 pings in a short window, at Honor 3, 6, and ping spam has been detected and limited since patch 26.4. Keep pings for information — enemy missing, objective timers, danger — and mute anyone who spams; the Honor guide explains the limits.
