Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Nautilus' dance references the 'Peeparoonie'.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
- A tab for
'Urgot Mech' can be seen in Nautilus' 'Art Spotlight'. - Nautilus has the longest basic attack animation in-game (which results in enemies being rooted by Staggering Blow when they visibly got out of range).
- Nautilus was released without the '
Tank' tag, though he actually is one. It was added shortly after. - Nautilus does the Captain Morgan pose when standing idle for a long while.
- Nautilus comes from Greek word for sailor, ναυτίλος.
- Out of universe, Nautilus is also the name of a mollusc taxonomic family, the submarine from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, and subsequently the first nuclear-powered submarine
- Nautilus and
Ziggs were first conceived as '
Ivan the Mad Bomber'. - During Nautilus' joke, when he is swimming in the air, he is humming a tune. This is the same tune that Squidward hums to himself in the shower during the Spongebob Movie.
- Nautilus is voiced by Richard Newman in
Legends of Runeterra.[2]

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.
Support
Bottom Carry. This role's initial goal is to assist their more vulnerable team mate through the earliest stages of the game, and is a position that suits champions with either utility, disengage or high base damage.
Within a duo lane, the optimal strategy for earning gold is to designate a single champion to farm while the other is recommended to purchase an economy item. The Support is expected to fulfill the latter designation: consequently, the position is not suitable for champions that are highly dependent on item-based power spikes. The Support is also expected to be the primary contributor to the team's 
vision.
Enchanters, Catchers, Wardens and 
Burst Mages are the most likely champions to be selected in the Support position.
VanguardVanguards are offensive tanks. Vanguards lead the charge for their team and specialize at bringing the action. Their explosive team fight initiation seeks to catch enemies out of position while allowing allies to follow-up to devastating effect.
- Examples
Tank (Legacy)
Support (Legacy)Support refers to a broad roster of champions who support their allies. As this description is better suited to the champion's role within a drafted team, individual supports can vary wildly from champions that can create opportunities for their allies by disrupting the enemy, defensive casters whose abilities empower their allies and more durable champions that hold their team's front line.
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.
Root
knockdown a target that is already performing a dash. Rooted units can still be displaced.Root is an
immobilizing effect.
Moving includes movement commands. 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.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts  movement channels unless otherwise stated.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by  Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by  crowd control immunity and  Dr. Mundo's  Goes Where He Pleases.
|
| Removal: | Removed by  Cleanses.
|
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
Spell shieldA 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 Arcane Comet, 
Unleashed Smite, and 
Primal Smite which will be blocked.
- See the article for more details.
Block
Blind and 
dodge take precedence over block.
Effects that block damage will only block instances that are blockable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.
Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always blocked, unless otherwise stated.
This effect is exclusive to 
Shen's 
Spirit's Refuge and is similar though mechanically different to Dodge.
Dodge block, but not blind.
Effects that dodge damage will only dodge instances that are dodgeable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.
Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always dodged, unless otherwise stated.
This effect is exclusive to 
Jax's 
Counter Strike and 
Nilah's 
Jubilant Veil.
BlindA unit that is blinded will miss their basic attacks for the duration, comparable to attacking a target that is able to dodge or block, but not mechanically similar. Missed basic attacks will fail to deal damage and apply 
on-hit effects, with the exception of some empowered basic attacks. Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks, unlike 
Disarm.
| Interrupts: | Does not interrupt any actions, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered by basic attacks.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by crowd control immunity.
|
| Removal: | Removed by Cleanses with the exception of  Mikael's Blessing.

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.
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.
|
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).
Standard sightStandard sight reveals units through Fog of War and 
brush, but not 
stealth. It does not bypass 
nearsight effects.
StunA unit that is stunned is unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash for the duration.
Stun is an immobilizing effect.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts attack windups (excluding uncancellable windups) and all channeled and charged abilities.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by crowd control immunity and Dr. Mundo's Goes Where He Pleases.
|
| Removal: | Removed by Cleanses.

LockoutLockout does not interact with crowd control mechanics unless otherwise stated.
Spell damage physical, magic or 
true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of spell damage. For example:
Rylai's Crystal Scepter, 
Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.- Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
- Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 20% per instance of spell damage you deal to a champion.
Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).
Magic damage- Applies:
Bloodletter's Curse's Vile Decay- Morellonomicon's and
Oblivion Orb's 
Grievous Wounds - Omnivamp
- Triggers:
- Mitigated by:
- Damage shields
- Invulnerability
- Damage reduction
Magic resistance
Magic shields
Resurrection
fatal damage. After the state completes, the unit is revived. Resurrection effects do not count for kills or assists.Resurrection sources have a hierarchy, and will trigger in the following order:
Resurrection will always take precedence over
zombie state effects. Entering resurrection does not cancel cast times. 
Renata Glasc's 
Bailout always takes priority over resurrection.
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.
100% AD physical damage. Basic attacks are normally unit-targeted edge range spells, and the attack range stat determines their reach.The caster must stand still to complete a brief windup before launching a basic attack. Depending on the caster:
- If a caster's attacks are non-projectile (e.g.
melee) launching the attack deals damage immediately. - If a caster's attacks are projectile, launching the attack sends a projectile that follows the target and deals damage upon striking them.
attack speed. Basic attacks' damage may trigger 
on-hit effects only upon dealing damage. On-attack effects will always trigger upon the attack's windup completing.
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.
Basic attack reset
Casting certain ability and item actives can reset the attack timer. 
Hail of Blades generates an additional stack of its effect each time the user resets their attack timer from attack resets.
Persistent damage magic damage sub-type, but this is not guaranteed.Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of persistent damage. For example:
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
- Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
- Arcane Comet's cooldown is reduced by 5% whenever you deal an instance of persistent damage.

Dodge block, but not blind.
Effects that dodge damage will only dodge instances that are dodgeable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.
Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always dodged, unless otherwise stated.
This effect is exclusive to Jax's Counter Strike and Nilah's Jubilant Veil.
Slow
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.

MonsterMonsters 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 
Rift Scuttler, which simply runs away when attacked).
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).
