Self-targeting is a targeting paradigm for abilities that requires no direct input from the user upon activation - instead, they automatically select the player's champion as the anchor or target of the spell. Notably, almost all innate abilities are of this type, with the only exceptions being An icon representing Akshan Akshan's An icon for Akshan's ability Going Rogue Going Rogue (passive), An icon representing Vex Vex's An icon for Vex's ability Doom 'n Gloom Doom 'n Gloom (Gloom only), An icon representing Fiora Fiora's An icon for Fiora's ability Duelist's Dance Duelist's Dance, An icon representing Quinn Quinn's An icon for Quinn's ability Harrier Harrier, and An icon representing Zyra Zyra's An icon for Zyra's ability Garden of Thorns Garden of Thorns (which are auto-targeted) and An icon representing Kalista Kalista's An icon for Kalista's ability Martial Poise Martial Poise (which is direction-targeted). Due to this, innate abilities are specifically excluded from this list.

Due to requiring no input from the user, self-targeting is technically a subset of auto-targeting (where the user is the sole valid target). However, due to its prevalence it is included in its own targeting type for completeness and additional clarity.

It must be noted that although abilities with this targeting type can only target the user, it does not necessarily mean that the ability effects are necessarily limited to or will even affect them.

There are three subcategories for self-targeted abilities: buff effect abilities provide a beneficial boost to the user when activated such as an attack speed increase, point blank abilities are area of effect spells that usually affect a circular area around the user, and on-hit effect abilities apply a specific on-hit effect to their autoattacks which are usually single-use or temporary in duration.
