Best League of Legends (LoL) PC Settings in 2024

Best League of Legends Mouse Settings for PC

Unlike competitive shooters, MOBA’s are all about maximizing your clicks to move and reposition your champion as quickly as possible. You’ll also need to take care of the direction you aim your clicks when executing moves; otherwise, you may send your attacks in directions you never intended. It’s this need for intricate and effective mouse movement that means you should spend more time than usual optimizing your mouse settings.

Mouse Acceleration: Off

Leaving mouse acceleration on will lead to random increases and decreases in mouse speed depending on the extent of your movement. Switch this off to avoid inaccuracy with your mouse while assuring that you’ll be able to refine your movement over time.

Mouse DPI: 1200 – 1600+

What is the best DPI for League of Legends? For most players, between 1200-1600 DPI is ideal. You want it to be fast enough to target anything on screen, but slow enough that you don’t misclick the wrong target. Precision is everything.

LoL is one of those games where using an incredibly high DPI setting can actually be a benefit. This means that you’ll be able to pull off moves and clicks much quicker, while sacrificing accuracy. Still, the name of the game here is speed, and I recommend starting with a relatively high setting and adapting it to your liking.

Mouse Speed: 20 – 25

Keep your in-game mouse speed at a lower setting to offset the effects of higher DPI. This should help you maintain control even at higher speeds.

Camera Move Speed (Mouse): 15 – 20

Keep this speed similar to your movement settings to avoid confusion when adjusting the camera.

Camera Move Speed (Keyboard): 55 – 60

Set the camera movement keyboard setting higher than your mouse’s to scope out and zoom across the map in a pinch.

Best League of Legends Keybinds for PC

You’ll find that the hot keybinds remain somewhat similar between different champions. The goal here is to keep everything within your fingers reach.

Abilities: Q, W, E, R

Summoner Spells: D, F

Items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, C

Trinket: 6

Additional Keybinds

Quick Casting: Quick Cast All

Self Cast: Alt + Key

Auto Level Up: CTRL + Spell Key

Target Champions Only: ~

Client Settings: Enable Low Spec Mode

Before you start adjusting in-game video settings, one of the first things you’ll want to do is turn on Low-Spec Mode within LoL’s launcher. The steps to set this up are:

1. Start the game and go to settings
2. Choose general settings
3. Click enable low spec mode

The benefit of opting into this setting is that your client will use less power, which allocates more resources towards running League and maximizing your settings.

Advanced Graphics Settings

Frame Rate: Uncapped

Set this to uncapped to take advantage of every frame you can get. By doing so, it will automatically match your monitor’s refresh rate.

Anti-Aliasing: Off

Keeping this off will lead to jagged graphical edges, but the FPS boost is well worth the tradeoff.

Vertical Sync: Off

You’ll only notice the effects of this being on if your FPS drops below the monitor refresh rate. And believe me, you’ll notice it and wish you’d turned this setting off to save frames.

Best League of Legends Interface Settings for PC

This part is really up to your personal preference but if you’re unsure where to start, try out these settings.

HUD Scale: 100

Keep this at 100 to assure everything is visible and front-and-center

Cursor Scale: 50

Minimize the cursor just a bit to make sure it doesn’t block gameplay while maintaining visibility.

Chat Scale: 65 – 75

Keep this a bit below the maximum size to ensure you can read incoming team chats while avoiding any unnecessary distractions.

Minimap Scale: 100

You’ll want this maxed out so you can quickly find yourself (and others) on the map.

Death Recap Scale: 75 – 100

This is up to you and how much value death recaps have on your gameplay and strategy.

Best League of Legends Audio Settings for PC

There are mixed reviews regarding the importance of audio in LoL. Some find it extremely vital, while others find that optimization does nothing. Still, we’ve found that many stick to settings that resemble other competitive titles.

Try out the following audio settings and tweak based on the amount you chat and the in-game audio you find essential.

Master Volume: 75

Music Volume: 0

Announcer Volume: 85

Voice Volume: 75

Sound FX Volume: 85

Ambiance Volume: 25

Pings Volume: 100

As you can see, you’ll want to push the announcer, sound fx, and ping volume above all other audio to quickly react to in-game directions. Be sure to minimize ambiance, and eliminate music to avoid any distractions.

Putting It to Practice

LoL may have passed the decade mark, but optimized settings are just as important as ever. While much of it is relatively simple when compared to modern games, it’s easy to see how this has come to define some of the common best settings for professional PC gaming.

You may find yourself tweaking various visual and mouse settings depending on your go-to champion, but this should still offer a great starting point. From there, it’s up to you to hone in on those fast clicks and identify the best speed and keybind combos.

So what are you waiting for? Jump into a match and put your new settings to the test!
