Original
RP 975
15.04.2021
A former doll transformed and brought to life by magic, Gwen wields the very tools that once created her. She carries the weight of her maker's love with every step, taking nothing for granted. At her command is the Hallowed Mist, an ancient and protective magic that has blessed Gwen's scissors, needles, and sewing thread. So much is new to her, but Gwen remains joyfully determined to fight for the good that survives in a broken world.

League of Legends Wiki | Champions
League of Legends content
Skirmisher
Slayers (formerly "Assassins") are fragile but agile damage-focused melee champions that look to swiftly take down their targets.

Skirmishers (also known as Duelists) aim to shred through any nearby enemy that approaches. Because Skirmishers lack high-end burst damage or reliable ways of closing in on high-priority targets, they are instead armed with situationally powerful defensive tools to survive in the fray, along with extreme sustained damage to cut down even the most durable targets.

Examples

Fighters are durable and damage-focused melee champions that look to be in the thick of combat.

League of Legends content
Top

Within a drafted team, the Top Laner is the champion assigned to the top lane.

Juggernauts, Divers, Battlemages, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Top Lane position.

League of Legends content
Jungle

Within a drafted team, the Jungler is the champion assigned to the jungle. A Jungler needs to be able to clear jungle camps without too much difficulty and ambush other champions in lane.

Divers, Assassins, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Jungler position.

League of Legends content
Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content
Melee

Melee champions have a basic attack  range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like An icon for Yasuo's ability Wind Wall Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

Attack windup
The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content
Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content
Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content
Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content
Selection height
A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content
Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

  • Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
  • Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content
Heal
Healing replenishes a unit's  current health, but never above their maximum health.

Incoming heals can trigger bonus effects from An icon representing Overheal Overheal. Outgoing heals can trigger bonus effects from An icon representing Summon Aery Summon Aery, An icon for the item Ardent Censer Ardent Censer, and An icon for the item Staff of Flowing Water Staff of Flowing Water.

Champion

Champions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.

League of Legends content
On-hit effect
On-hit is an umbrella term for a type of effect that triggers on instances of basic damage, or generally upon a basic attack or certain attack-like ability hitting a target. Most on-hit effects deal proc damage or default damage, which are non-reactive (= the effects don't trigger more effects).

  • Critical strikes are not on-hit effects. An ability listed as applying on-hit effects cannot critically strike unless otherwise stated.
  •  Life steal is not an on-hit effect. Damage from on-hit effects normally does not apply life steal, unless those effects deal basic damage or are special-cased to benefit from life steal.

The ability counterpart to on-hit effects are ability effects, which apply on instances of ability damage.

League of Legends content
 Snip Snip! COOLDOWN: 6.5 / 5.75 / 5 / 4.25 / 3.5
Passive: An icon representing Gwen Gwen's basic attacks on-hit generate stacks of Snippy, up to a cap.
Active: Gwen snips in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies in a cone. She snips again for each Snippy stack she has.
Gwen then makes a final snip that deals increased magic damage.
The center of each snip deals true damage instead and applies An icon for Gwen's ability Thousand Cuts Thousand Cuts.
League of Legends content
 Needlework COOLDOWN: 120 / 100 / 80
First Cast: An icon representing Gwen Gwen launches a needle in the target direction that deals magic damage and slows enemies hit. Needlework can be recast up to two more times.
Second Cast: Gwen barrages out 3 needles.
Third Cast: Gwen barrages out 5 needles.

Champion

Champions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.

League of Legends content
Minion

Minions are autonomous units that spawn periodically from their nexus and advance along the lanes toward the enemy nexus. They basic attack any enemy unit or structure they find in their way, but can be killed for An icon representing Gold gold.
There are four kind of minions: An icon representing Melee minion melee minions, An icon representing Caster minion caster minions, An icon representing Siege minion siege minions and An icon representing Super minion super minions.

League of Legends content
Monster

Monsters are neutral units in League of Legends. Unlike minions, monsters do not fight for either team, and will only do so if provoked (with the exception of the An icon representing Rift Scuttler Rift Scuttler, which simply runs away when attacked).

League of Legends content
Proc damage
Proc damage is damage type assigned to most on-hit effects. It is worth noting that many seeming on-hit effects are actually classified as spell damage and so will trigger ability effects. Some forms of on-hit damage, such as by An icon for the item Blade of the Ruined King Blade of the Ruined King and An icon for the item Sheen Spellblade, also benefit from  life steal.

Proc damage does not interact with most other effects, such as An icon for the item Luden's Companion Luden's Companion or An icon representing Arcane Comet Arcane Comet. The main exception is:

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will still occur in spite of proc damage's non-reactive nature (e.g. An icon for the item Black Cleaver Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and An icon for the item Morellonomicon Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

Magic damage
League of Legends content
 Thousand Cuts
Innate: An icon representing Gwen Gwen's basic attacks and damaging abilities deal bonus magic damage equal to a portion of the target's maximum health and heal her for a portion of this damage dealt against champions.

True damage
League of Legends content
Area damage

Area damage is the damage type dealt by most area of effect abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Area damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will occur (i.e. physical, magic or true).

League of Legends content
Spell shield

A spell shield refers to one of several effects that have the capacity to negate hostile abilities from applying to the recipient. A spell shield may negate many active effects coming from champion abilities, epic monsters, champion summoned units, and items, but almost none from runes and summoner spells with the only exceptions of An icon representing Arcane Comet Arcane Comet, An icon representing Unleashed Smite Unleashed Smite, and An icon representing Primal Smite Primal Smite which will be blocked.

Centered range

Centered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.

  • Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
  • It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.
League of Legends content
Ghosted

A unit that is ghosted ignores unit collision, allowing them to move through other units and other units to move through them.

League of Legends content
Untargetable
A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content
Turret

A turret, also called a tower, is a fortification that defends a part of territory. It provides vision of the area and autonomously fires homing bolts at nearby enemies, establishing a defensive ground for allies.

Turrets are most notable in Classic, defending against waves of enemy Minions from their ultimate goal of destroying the nexus. Champions work to destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.

Projectile

A projectile or missile is any entity not classified as a unit ( champion, minion, monster, etc.) that travels at any given velocity.

League of Legends content
Homing projectile destruction
Destroying or popping of a projectile references an effect that destroys all homing missiles currently targeting a specific unit, such as ranged projectile-based basic attacks. Destroyed missiles will do the same thing as if they were destroyed by An icon for Yasuo's ability Wind Wall Wind Wall or An icon for Samira's ability Blade Whirl Blade Whirl (usually vanishing without any effect).

The following abilities perform one or more projectile popping events:

League of Legends content
Dash
A dash is a quick movement action by a unit in which they move to a specific direction or location while traversing the intervening distance, ignoring the boundaries of terrain.

The game engine does not take into account the height of the unit; dashes that depict air travel are considered to be on the ground for targeting purposes such as skill-shots.

League of Legends content
Blink

A blink refers to a form of movement whereby a unit displaces from point A to B without traversing the space between.

League of Legends content
Basic attack reset
An attack reset is a mechanic that will result in a champion's attack timer being reset to zero. When this effect takes place during the basic attack's cooldown and not its windup, it allows the attacker to start a second attack quicker than normal.

Casting certain ability and item actives can reset the attack timer. An icon representing Hail of Blades Hail of Blades generates an additional stack of its effect each time the user resets their attack timer from attack resets.
