Less lethal, but more common result of the setting being enabled is that it might cause you to break a freeze or miss cs when you stop moving because you'll auto attack a minion randomly, especially as a ranged champion

I remember years ago when I'm still new to the game that I disabled auto attack just so I can dance near enemies

Ain't no way 95% of people have it on

You cant tell me 95% of players use this shit xD

I disabled It because I was dancing w the enemy laner and accidentaly hit him lol

One setting that you must learn how to use and not die is the walk-attack setting. If you're an adc, for example, and is chasing a low health rengar into a bush, you can walk-attack into the bush, instead of walking amd then attacking. If you, you'll auto him mid jump, if he jumps on you, instead of simply dying. This helps with irelia, leblanc, yasuo, jayce, and every target dash that comes from fog. Especially important for those "killing from fog" moments.

I love the "mechanics" yi just hitting someone over and over

I have mine on mostly because of a small thing I learned. You will auto a wave from inside a bush if the enemy team sees you there. You wont if they dont see you. So if you are sitting in a bush with a wave near-by, if you auto, run.

as a ranged champion in the sidelane (i.e. support or top at the start of the game) you can scan bushes for wards without Oracle Lens, as if there's a minion in range and you are on vision then you will automatically attack enemy minions in range. As a melee champion, such as in every given example it was on a melee champion so apart from in the jungle you don't get remotely as much of an upside as a Thresh or Urgot or Zyra would get

This is entirely preference-based and depends on context. If you keep it on and are in a warded bush. Your character will attack anything red outside of the bush. Which lets you know it's warded without a scanner or red. If you have this setting off. You'll never know and be caught off guard when the enemies collapse on you from a blind angle. The attacking under turret can be countered by learned behavior to hit s or another command. You can't learn to autoattack from a bush when the enemy has vision to detect a stealth ward. So, I'll keep autoattack on and macro the other stuff, thanks.

I have it on because it tells me if a bush is warded. I get that it can potentially mess up tower dives but I press S very often so it doesn’t bother me

Auto attack is a great thing to keep on. If you are in a bush with auto attack on, you will only auto minions/champs if the bush is warded. It helps easily know if theres vision, so you can play around it and cheese.

The First two settings i changed immediately when i first started was going to unlocked camera because locked sucks ass (idk how people tolerate it, I didnt even have it on for 2 seconds). And turning auto attcks off because your character doing something automatically without prior imput also sucks ass and feels aweful to play. Auto attack should be toggleable off of a keybind, not an on or off setting.

Who tf keeps automatic aa ?

Having aa on as support helps tell if there is vision in a bush

I press a and left click if I'm specifically wanting my champ to attack what is in way of destination. If you want the champ to go where you click strictly without auto attack then just right click bruh..

I've known about this for 10 years and I've always kept it on because knowing a bush is warded by auto attacking has saved me countless times.

I thought everyone turned this shit off right away wtf?

If u have it turned on and Ur standing in a bush and minions Pass by u will start attacking the minions automaticly if the bush is warded by the eneny so it is great for botlane traps

also a way to know if there is a ward in the bush, so it's not the "worse setting" that allows u to check if someone warded : if they did, you will auto attack on range, meaning they can see you, valuable information

While I do play with auto attack off, it does have a benefit: ranged champions can reveal which brush are warded, because you'll only auto attack if the enemy team has vision of you, so if you're hiding in a bush and start randomly autoing the nearest target when something enters your range, you know it's warded.

But if youre under turret you should be more prepared for you combo regardless

I just spam "S" the moment I am CCed unter enemy tower. Works like a charm

Este es el edit que definitivamente estaba esperando 🙏🏻

I love this setting, I think Riot changed it, this setting behave odd sometimes

Thank you for your tips, i hit emerald in last season just because of you.

you should have auto attack on and use stop command

I turned it off because: I was dancing with enemy and when I stopped I AA'd him We both weren't happy

There's also the people who dive enemies under towers w/o making sure they don't right-click the tower 😂

Ive mastered to stop command with S key, I have autoattacks on because you will start autoattacking anything in range if the enemy has the brush warded, it will not autoattack by itself if they dont have vision on you. Very useful as an adc to spot out warded lane brushes.

I actually still use this setting, and I've learned to use it to my advantage quite often. And, since I've been playing for about 12-13 years, I've gotten extremely on-point with using S at any point I need to. It's one of my most useful keys to press, and I prefer using it to stop over just "walking to where I want to". I click further, and then press S exactly where I want to stand. Only time it screws me is if I get rooted under a turret by an ability I didn't see coming (ie. Zyra over a wall or something), which is very rare. And your champ automatically attacks minions if you're in a bush, and they have vision of you, which is useful in cases where the minions are already fighting each other, and not gonna go for you, but you aren't sure if the bush is warded. (Tho some champs, like Kha'Zix, don't need this, as he has his Passive to check that, and same with Pyke and his grey health) Tho I do, no matter what, turn it off when playing Kalista. I don't play her often, whatsoever. But if I do get her on ARAM, or wanna try some bs on Arena, I turn that shit off. Kalista with auto attack feels AWFUL. With most champs, the worst that can happen is throwing an auto attack. With Kalista, it's throwing an auto attack and moving when you didn't intend to, which has gotten me killed before by accident.

The reason why I keep it on (as a GM Support Main) is cus it helps me know if a bush is warded. My champion would move to auto attack if a nearby targetable non champion passes by a bush, most often time the wave. My champion wouldnt automatically move it is isnt warded. It help me tremendously on lane bush control and setting up cheesy kills. Well, it doesnt matter much on low elo, but it makes a ton of diff in higher as a support.

saw nemesis argue that its good to have on if you utilize the S key well because you can look around the map while split pushing and continuing to push

Also in Arena if you charge Warm Up Routine and a plant is near you it'll make you target the plant instead.

I keep it on because it easily tells me if I’m warded in a bush as a ranged champ, for if there is an enemy nearby, I’ll automatically auto them if it’s warded I think, it might have been changed or I’m remembering something else that causes me to do that

You can tell if a bush is warded if you have auto attack on and stand in a bush. If you are on vision you will auto attack while inside the bush on the nearest enemy (usually a minion in bot or top lane) If you are not in vision you will not auto attack anything. This works best with range champs since the minions or enemies wont get close enough to have this interaction occur on melee ones.

But it’s also useful for checking vision. When I used to play support, if you’re ranged and hiding in brush and minion wave is near, if you attack, the enemy has vision on you, this scenario seems more common than the tower diving issue though I have encountered that exact thing OP mentions

that was the first thing my friends told me to do when i started playing

Whenever I spam S while getting naut hooked under tower, it feels like a coin toss whether I auto or not. How can I get it to work every time?

Is there perhaps a way to make it only auto attack wverything othwr than champs? Cus ive died like that a few times but i wanna auto attack jungle mobs

It's a holdover from WoW and DotA since units automatically attack things in those games if I'm not mistaken

Thank you, this was actually so annoying After only like 20 hours of the game i had died at least 30 times to turrets auto'ing me and i had no idea why. This makes such a difference

I used to have it off, recently came back to game and couldnt figure out how to turn it off again, its killed me a few times diving a nautilus already

Yes I have it enabled since 12 years now, and I will not deactivated it. I had a few moments where this gave me the kill. And esecially in the jungle, it is really annoying without it. I am used to have it on, and the small moments where it is a disadventage aren't big enough to make it worth it. I tried. I think it is because I come from Warcraft 3 where AA is ALWAYS on. So you can say I am used to it for even longer than League is old.

First thing i desactivated since i was tired of spam clicking to stop AAing the wave xD

i have it off. but having it on does have one advantage- if you are in a brush hiding and your character automatically attacks enemy minion or champion it means they have vision in that brush

Does attack move still cause you to autoattack all minions in range before moving on?

As tank engage support I want this setting on as I’m usually the first on five anyway. also if you don’t have it in your auto pathing gets messed up during chases. some settings are bad to have on but as always it depends. none of those clips change either with AA off, it’s just clearly a bad dive so it’s a fundamental issue more than setting imo

I have this setting on all the time. I'm not bothered

Where do u get this % player base stats from?

Actually you can avoid these situations. But having AA on it's very good to spot a warded area.

I knew something was wrong with my movements, thank you

I had that too but turned it off myself before that video cause I went through the settings for another reason and saw that setting.

Omg this is why I keep dying while tower diving with Warwick thank you😢❤

holy hell. thank you

In jngl its good u can check lanes while u farming

I only disable auto attack when I play support to not steal farm 😂

As someone who frequently turret dives with Camille I have this disabled

I didn’t even know that was a thing but yea nah turning that off definitely makes sense

Unfortunaly I need the setting on just in case vanguard starts acting up mid game and randomly disconnecting me

Ahh classic, yasuo windwall to block that turret shot

I come from Warcraft. Auto attack instantly tilted the heck out of me, I made sure it's off

i turned that setting off within my first month of playing, and now i have a separate keybind for "move+attack" which takes the place of auto attack, granted i am a mid/jungle main and not an ADC

i keep it on because all i need to do is dodge roots and focus on moving

Even as an adc, I keep auto attack turned off. It's too easy to screw your freeze as well as taking tower aggro as shown here

Wait there's still people with the auto attacks on ?

If you don't understand why auto attacking there was bad its because wave was tanking turret and him attacking nautilus while cc aggro tower which got him to die for it from naut ignite.

I have had that setting turned off since season 1…

supp players have auto attacks on to check if a bush is warded because if bush is warded u will auto attack from it if it isnt u wont

As a jungle main, my auto attack will always remain on.

I can't believe I thought Shaco Q was bugged when someone hit me with cc and somehow it would break invis THANKS A LOT.

Some people keep it on to spam s key and keep their apm high

I've lost count how many times I've died in my shroud as Akali due to this

I have auto attack off and I still spam S under tower.

It is helpfull sometimes idk it feels good as a supp main

damn i still have this on and im level 23

i have it on because i hate having to click on every single minion in a huge wave lategame to clear it. i just want my dude to auto clear that wave if it's big.

When people were teaching me how to play i wanted to do support, kept accidently stealing minnions from my adc so she made me turn it off Still have it off idk why its auto on

I used to turn it off PC change happened, LoL updates happened now I just don't really care if it's on or off

It's a good setting if you disconnect often. You can keep attacking even if you're out of the game!

you're wrong about mikyx. what happened to him is that you cannot s key to cancel auto attack orders while rooted

Exception, if you use wukong and slam the H key you will still auto like your clone would.

The amount of times I've died during a dive because of this is making me sad... Thanks Ezreal

I have mine off and use attack move on r and my Ult on t

I always took this off

thanks

Its probably the first setting I ever changed in the game there is no reason whatsoever to have it on. Crazy enough my brother unironically plays with it on and technically hes a better player then me.

Me who plays yi woth aggressive movement clicks: huh. I could have just, watched the game play itself?

I die when it's disabled

They could literally have mapped it on a button and we could turn it on and off whenever we wanted but nah 200 years gaming experience

Ahhh thats why my shaco atts while im stil in q

I just made best friends with the s key

i unironically press S, not even joking

I turned it off bcus i it screwes up my aa timer 😂 back then i wasa noob and stnading there and auto all the time

it's literally more useful than harmful as long you learn to use your S key. i feel like most ppl assume auto attacking = noob or smt xd

dude, i always played with auto attack on, thinking why csing is so hard, now im csing much better than before and i can do more clean plays

playing akali made me turn this off REAL quick

I got flamed when i was on nihlah and there was a teemo gank and he was 1 auto and i dove tower and i hit tower and i died then riven told me to flash of a building☹️

Yeah I always off this sht

If you have this enabled in top lane you’ll 100% auto-lose the lane. You can’t mess up the wave there.
