Let me explain how to turn off auto attack on League of Legends and why you might want to do this.
You have multiple options to control your champion's automatic attacks.
Here are the steps to permanently turn off auto-attack:
- First, open the League client and click the Settings gear icon.
- Then select the Game tab.
- Look for the "Auto Attack" option and switch it to Off.
- Finally, apply your changes to save the setting.
This setting stops your champion from attacking nearby enemies automatically when idle.
You'll need to right-click to attack after turning this off. This gives you more precise control over your champion's actions.
You can also temporarily stop auto-attacks during games. The S key (default) cancels all current commands.
Your champion will stand still and won't attack until you give a new command. The J key (default) prevents auto-attacks while held down.
Turning off auto-attack proves especially useful for ranged champions and support players. It helps you avoid unwanted attacks that might reveal your position.
The setting also makes it easier to control minion waves and farm more precisely.
Many professional players turn off auto-attack for better control in lane. This prevents accidental attacks on minions or enemies when moving through bushes or positioning for fights.
Remember, you can still attack by right-clicking even with auto-attack turned off. This change puts you in full control of when your champion engages enemies.
You decide exactly when and what to attack instead of letting the game choose for you.
