How to turn auto attack off in LoL

So one day, about 6 months ago, I noticed that there was an option to turn off Auto Attack. I thought "this must be similar to playing with tour screen unlocked. I should switch it off." I immediately discovered that it was easier to be more precise with wave management and last hitting. A couple days ago, I realized I was having trouble auto attacking champions and not accidentally cancelling, so I turned it back on. My farming wasnt super affected, and I noticed I had more success with things like kiting, flash-aa, and deliberate aa cancels.

So now I'm lost. Can someone explain what may be happening? But most importantly, what do most higher rank players use, AA on or off?

Are you Melee or Ranged?

Melee: Yes, hit S or right-click the ground.

Ranged: No. You have to keep moving since as soon as you stop, you will automatically attack a nearby minion.

EDIT: Or hitting S might work for ranged champs too. But you'll have to hit S every time, making it be very annoying. Between that and just moving all the time, I'll pick moving all the time.

If you're ranged, S also shuts off your auto attack and makes you stand still. You can walk around spamming S and won't shoot anything.

Yeah I learned this after the first person posted press S. I am using kog, and I hate that I have to press it every time I want him to stop. Is there a reason for this? I just want to be able to last hit.

Try A + Left click for last hitting.

Thanks Obama

Auto-attacking is universal in every RTS and every MOBA a.k.a Dota type game is partly an RTS.

Sure it could be changed just go email Riot about it.

You are now blinking and breathing manually.

How to turn auto attack off in LoL

Can you turn off auto attack in League of Legends? In short, yes. Auto attacks can be turned off in the options menu. If you want to disable auto attacks completely, you should enable the ‘player attack move on cursor’ option. You can also disable auto attacks for specific champions. The auto attack timer is reset when you cancel it. In this way, you can kite more effectively and make more accurate attacks.

  • Disabling auto attack doesn’t disable the auto attack range indicator
  • Disabling it helps you kite more effectively
  • Enabling ‘Player Attack Move on Cursor’
  • Disabling ‘Target Champions Only’

Disabling auto attack doesn’t disable the auto attack range indicator

If you are frustrated by your opponent’s over-aggressive auto attack, you can always change the default settings. By disabling auto attack, you can manually move your champion or set it to move on its own. To do this, go to League of Legends > Preferences > Auto Attack. You can also disable the auto attack range indicator in game by editing the PersistedSettings config file.

While many players prefer to disable auto attack, you can also manually stop it. To stop an auto attack, hold down the ‘S’ key on your keyboard while attacking. If there are no enemies or wards in the brush, you’ll notice a small red icon appear next to the attack command. You can also manually disable auto attack by typing /stopattack. Be careful, though: spamming this command will not stop the auto attack, so be careful. Some classes have abilities that will temporarily stop auto attack.

Disabling it helps you kite more effectively

The first step in disabling auto attack is to enable the “attack move on cursor” option. This allows your champion to attack whichever champion is closest to the cursor. This is especially useful in chaotic teamfights, where auto-attacking is not an option. Disabling auto attack in league helps you kite more effectively by allowing you to focus on attacking the closest enemy champion rather than wasting time trying to select multiple targets.

Another way to disable auto attack in league is to change the default attack move. This way, the attacker’s move will be the left click and the target will only be attacked if they are in range. You can still kite the same way, but using the “attack move” command will help you kite more effectively. Using the “attack move” button will give you a better range indicator and help you kite more effectively.

Enabling ‘Player Attack Move on Cursor’

During game play, Enabling Player Attack Move on Curso in League of Legends allows you to click the nearest target with the arrow keys. This feature is extremely useful during team fights and ensures that your champion does not get hit by the enemy tank. You can also enable this feature in your Hotkeys. Let’s look at how it works in this article. The default hotkey for this feature is “A”, and it operates automatically. Basically, you’ll want to use the arrow keys to click the attack move button.

The Attack Move button allows players to click and attack the closest target without waiting for any animations. This is useful in kiting, as it prevents awkward stutter steps. Additionally, it improves accuracy. It can make the difference between death and kiting! If you’re looking to improve your game’s performance, Enabling Player Attack Move on Cursor will be a great option for you.

Disabling ‘Target Champions Only’

To disable auto attack for your target champions only, go into the game settings and find the option called “Target Champions Only”. Then click on the toggle and change it to the desired setting. You can also change the priority of the target champions by choosing the toggle at the bottom of the window. In this way, you can customize the champion actions to suit your preferences. Alternatively, you can turn off auto attack altogether.

To disable auto attack for any champion, you must be in range of that champion. Usually, the champion’s basic attack will not change. To disable auto attack for a champion, you must click on his “stop” hotkey and then press “A” or “attack-move”. By doing this, you will see whether or not you can auto attack by pressing the A or attack-move key.

What is auto attack setting in lol?

This allows the player to decide which enemy they will be attacking if there are many. Without this setting on, the game is programmed to automatically select the closest enemy to the player's Champion. With the feature on, instead, the Champion will attack the closest enemy to where the player clicked!

Do you have auto attack on LOL?

Option. By default, a champion will automatically basic attack nearby enemy units. This feature can be turned off in the options menu. Automated target acquisition (or auto attacking) can be momentarily disabled by using the "stop" command (default S).

How do I turn on attack move?

Scroll down to player movement and look for “player attack move click” and “player attack move”. Both are vital to kiting, but you may find yourself favoring one or the other. Player attack move will show you your range and will auto-attack the nearest target to your cursor if you press your right mouse button.
