Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Jarvan IV was first mentioned in
Urgot's lore. - A tab for Jarvan IV can be faintly seen at the top during
Maokai's Art Spotlight. - In-universe Demacian naming convention does not mirror real-life's European royalty and nobility's naming convention; as the current Jarvan should not have gotten the regnal number IV before his coronation.
- The terrain created by Cataclysm is made of 24 minions to make sure that no one can squeeze through the wall.[2]
- The old visual effects of Golden Aegis was once made up of little ghosts due being a recolored copy of
Death's Caress.[3]

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.
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.
(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 radiusA 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.
Selection radiusA 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.
Selection heightGameplay 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.
Acquisition radiusA 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.
JungleWithin 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.
DiverDivers are the more mobile portion of the Fighter class. Divers excel at singling out high-priority targets to blitz toward, immediately forcing those targets (and their teammates) to deal with the diver’s presence. Divers are not as durable as the tanks or juggernauts of the world, but Divers can take their fair share of punishment while bringing enough damage to be a real kill threat if left unchecked.
- Examples
Fighter (Legacy)
Tank (Legacy)Tanks excel in shrugging off incoming damage and focus on disrupting their enemies more than being significant damage threats themselves.
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.
MeleeMelee 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 
Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
Proc damage
spell damage and so will trigger ability effects. Some forms of on-hit damage, such as by 
Blade of the Ruined King and 
Spellblade, also benefit from 
life steal.
Proc damage does not interact with most other effects, such as 
Luden's Companion or 
Arcane Comet. The main exception is:
Omnivamp and 
Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
Effects triggered by damage subtypes will still occur in spite of proc damage's non-reactive nature (e.g. 
Black Cleaver on instances of 
Physical damage and 
Morellonomicon on instances of 
Magic damage).
Physical damage- Applies:
- Mitigated by:
Damage shields
Invulnerability- Damage reduction
Armor
Physical shields
Death's Dance
Edge rangeEdge range is calculated from the edge of a source unit's hitbox to the edge of a target unit's hitbox.
- Edge range is mostly used for basic attacks; skill shots; and point-blank areas of effect (including auras).
- These become more effective against large champions, as the source gains more reach against them. This may be favorable or unfavorable: durable champions tend to be larger and thus easier to hit, and frail champions tend to be smaller and more difficult to hit.
Centered rangeCentered 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.
DashThe 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.
- Dashes should not be confused with displacement effects, which are usually sourced from enemy units (and are classified as
crowd control debuffs). - Dashes are interrupted by
stasis (from an enemy), 
knockdown, and 
blinks. - Dashes are overridden by all move blocks, which includes displacements and other dashes, as well as a few other cases.
- Not all dashes can traverse terrain (e.g.
Justice Punch, 
Searing Charge, 
Tumble). - Some dashes gain increased distance when directed through terrain (e.g.
Umbral Dash, 
Perfect Execution, 
Phantom Undertow).
AirborneA unit that is knocked airborne undergoes a forced displacement in a specified direction, to a specific point, or for a set duration at its current location, during which it is also unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the 
summoner spells Flash, 
Teleport, 
Hexflash, and 
Mark / 
Dash.
Airborne is an immobilizing effect.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts attack windups (excluding  uncancellable windups), and all  channeled and charged abilities. The accompanying displacement overrides all other previous displacements, including dashes and other airborne effects.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration of airborne and its forced movement execution time is unaffected by  Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by  crowd control immunity,  displacement immunity, and  Dr. Mundo's  Goes Where He Pleases.
|
| Removal: | The forced movement that is applied alongside airborne effects cannot be removed by cleanses, which innately disables attacking and moving and can be overridden by dashing, blinking or  lunging.  Cleansing effects, with the exceptions of  Milio's  Breath of Life,  Cleanse,  Mikael's Blessing, and  Quicksilver, remove the airborne status effect.

- Some dashes gain increased distance when directed through terrain (e.g. Umbral Dash, Perfect Execution, Phantom Undertow).
Area damageArea 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.
- Spell vamp heals with one-third effectiveness.
- Many items effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of area damage (i.e. ability effects).
- For example: Rylai's Crystal Scepter,
Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion. - Compared to single target spell damage, area damage does not trigger
Muramana.
- For example:
- Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 10% whenever you deal an instance of area damage to a champion.
- Area damage is reduced by 25% versus
Jax's 
Counter Strike. - Many champion summoned units such as
Elise's 
Spiderlings, 
Yorick's 
Mist Walkers, and 
Naafiri's 
Dune Hounds take reduced damage from area damage.
Effects triggered by damage subtypes will occur (i.e. physical, magic or true).
ImmobilizeImmobilized units cannot control their movement. The following crowd control effects immobilize the unit:
- Airborne
Forced Action (
Berserk, 
Charm, 
Flee, 
Taunt)
Root
Sleep- Stasis
- Stun ( Suspension)
Suppression
Impaired movement is a similar term that, in addition to the above, also refers to units that are 
slowed.
Ground knockdown a target that is already performing a dash. Grounded units can still be displaced.
Movement spells include all dash and blink abilities - including 
Recall / 
Empowered Recall and the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Dash, plus a number of additional cases.
Ground is the only type of crowd control that is most commonly found in persistent area of effects, which will reapply the status effect continuously.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts movement channels unless otherwise stated.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by crowd control immunity.
|
| Removal: | Removed by Cleanses.

movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below 110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.
| Interrupts: | Does not interrupt any actions. |

Shield
health that absorbs the next instances of damage in place of actual health. This can be improved by various items and effects depending on the type of shielding.
Incoming shields can trigger bonus effects from 
Shield Bash. Outgoing shields can trigger bonus effects from 
Summon Aery, 
Ardent Censer, and 
Staff of Flowing Water. Shield reduction effects, exclusively 
Serpent's Fang, reduce all incoming and outgoing shields.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
TurretA 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.
Sight
center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.
Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or 
brush, allowing them to be targeted. 
Standard sight cannot see 
stealthed units, but 
True Sight can.
Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.- All effects that use
unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.

MinionMinions 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 gold.
There are four kind of minions: 
melee minions, 
caster minions, 
siege minions and 
super minions.
Untargetable
Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally 
destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.
