I personally use the "target champions only" function. You can make it a toggle (setting is in the same area as the A-click one) so you don't have to hold your finger on the button the whole time. Just make it a habit to switch it on before the teamfight 👍
You can set Target Champions Only to work on a toggle. I bound it to T, so it's easy to turn on/off while kiting. I agree that it isn't a substitute for good cursor accuracy, especially since you will still attack minions/monsters if you click directly on them.
You don’t target monsters I don’t think. I may be wrong and I’m not home to test it. But I’ve recently move to toggle and I know for certain I can’t attack wards or plants. I thought I also couldn’t attack neutral monsters. Minions though yes since they register as enemies not neutrals.
@@tthreat23 That is correct, you are unable to target "neutral" entities with auto-attacks while TCO is on, which includes Baron, Dragon, Scuttle, all jungle camps, and plants. I *think* you can still target wards, but I'd have to double check. Either way, it's not a setting you want to have on unless the situation calls for it.
@@joshwalton25 okay thanks for the reply! Apologies I wasn’t trying to correct you. I just wanted to be clear on what I was experiencing compared to what you stated. And yeah I agree it’s something I’ve realized has hurt me at times no realizing when I have TCO toggled on. Both flash and toggle champs only are on my mouse wheel (left and right on my Naga wheel) I’m working on how flashing in and immediately toggling TCO feels when I’m going all in.
@@tthreat23 all good bud. It's an important thing to mention, especially because it's natural to assume you'd be able to target neutral entities the same way you can target enemy minions.
You can enable target champions only just by pressing a key once btw,it makes up with one more setting you have to find it somewhere in your key settings. Overall great video my man
i have been playing 11 years of adc, the past 5 years i used the A range indicator with A spamming it 24/7. At first it was hard and it was hurting, but i got used to it. it took alot of hard work, and alot of pain. but now i can play non stop games and still keep spamming A while not evening noticing it. My record of games was 3 months ago with 15 games and still feeling great. but needed to get sleep since it was 4 AM. Even though i can kite really good i did still learn something out of it. So thank you
My friend who got Diamond 2 (back when it was just Diamond>Challenger and that mattered) and he always said, 5 minute break after a win, 20 minutes after a loss. That was his way of dealing with that, also the extra time after a loss ensures you won't begin to just spam games and tilt your face off.
Why do people not use attack move click? Its like "A-kiting" but you don't have to click with your mouse. You just hover over the target and press a then you can right-click for movement.
@@ProfessorDdang I see. I find it easier to kite at high attack speed. The sequence just becomes: hover mouse near or on top of target -> press (a) and it will attack the target closest to your cursor. I noticed many Korean pros like gumayusi use atk move click though. I find this attack move easier to perform though but I am surprised not many use it.
Because people like to see attack range too. It's not used just for one function, it's used for two equally important. Those who don't care about range use your method and those who only cares about range occasionally use your method and keeps clicking C (stats keybind that show range) from time to time to time when they are playing not that familiar champion. There is also rhythm and being more mindful of your actions part too and some people use the default Attack move (A+LMB) even if they don't really need to see their range because it makes them more calculated and accurate. I experimented with a lot of stuff and for some period of time used attack move click (only one click without range indicator) because it's faster but it didn't work for me and I caught myself mindless lazy mashing the button too often which even made me cancel a lot of autos or negatively impacted my movement, spacing and kitting which was never the case with the default attack move.
I also prefer attack move click like you said. It’s so much faster than A+LMB in the video since you don’t have to click twice. Yes it doesn’t show the attack range but that’s fine for me, just keep moving between attacks and that’s what I called “kiting”.
I think it would be important to see how you click when you chase enemies. I feel its more difficult to kite when you chase enemies down/chase them. especially if you pick a champ like Nilah
i have attack move click on tab and moved the scoreboard hotkey on the key above tab.... never used my pinky finger as efficiently as i do now and i really dont need the range indicator because i play mostly melee champs
I do the same but in Shift. I still use A sometimes in lane even on melee champs as they DO have a range and it varies slightly from champ to champ. Abusing even a 25 range difference can be the difference between getting in that extra Auto and winning the trade or dying.
Z-kiting is a method where you place ur keybindings on Z & X to maximize ur speed when AA-ing. But there's a higher margin of error esp. with minions around, so don't worry about it. Like I said, it's not good for adcs anyways 😉
this was only usefull in the days of machinegun kogmaw when you could reach like 8 attack speed lmao... you didn't have time to a click and yu had to spam z and x to somewhat resemble kiting
I wonder cuz when i try to kite and lock on to enemy , when i move then my champ starts walking, and only after he ends walking he starts to attack and makes sometines a lot of misplays . Any tips?
Problem with A: You have to left click to do the trick and with the instant one it's faster because I don't know need to click twice. Problem with instant: I can't use champion only toggle...
It's funny because if you press c you have the attack range shown as long as you press the key, i feel like gumayusi should just press c (and change the key to some closer to his fingers) but maybe this guy just loves to spam lol. I tried to play like him until i saw Viper's no attack range playstyle and i must say i prefer it. For me, the less information on your screen, the better your brain is able to focus
As a new player and twotch main i hear alot of people talk about spacegliding is it jist another facny term for kiting or is it just mean the same thing
Good question! It's essentially kiting with such a high attack speed that it looks like your character is gliding across the screen So in short yeah it's just kiting when your attack speed gets insanely high
Use target champions only, this setting only works with right clicking to attack but you will not hit any minion/turret/monster only the enemy that you right click.
I have bind mouse left click to attack move option on and my "A" button on Target champions only so when I kite inbetween minions on a tower I hold A and just left click around the target.
I replied to the person above but basically it's a kiting method where your keybindings are on Z&X to maximize AA speed. Regardless, it's not a good method to kite so don't worry about it!
When i kite i use A click but not on champion, i do it where i want to move, but when i look at your video you a click on the champion then right click behind you, meanwhile i a click behind me and right click behind me. It makes me hit what's in front of me, its not a good method ?
Fantastic guide on kiting, and I loved your explanations for why you chose each setting, thank you! P.S. Do you know any Support educational channels similar to yours?

it sucks when youre coming from a game where you had 3+ items and then starting a new game and you have to play with low attack speed again

Thanks for the answer! I was curious because I'd never heard the term before
@@VulpesVoce Yup! I think it might be more of a korea thing 🤔
@@ProfessorDdang so Q-click but without having to left click (just Q to Auto attack) is fine right?
this was only usefull in the days of machinegun kogmaw when you could reach like 8 attack speed lmao... you didn't have time to a click and yu had to spam z and x to somewhat resemble kiting
i used to use 'target champions only' on my spacebar. much more accurate
DDang explaining why I’m developing carpal tunnel

Kiting is hard when there's alot of miinions around the cahmpion
Thank you Sir
amazing video! do you think it is bad to kite with shift + right mouse buttom? greetings from brasil
It is fine to do that. Many Challenger ADCs also use that method it's entirely preference, and it's what I do!
What is Z-kiting?
how to show range my option is on but when i press a its not show it
What is Z kiting? its the first time ive heard it
what dpi you use
I wonder cuz when i try to kite and lock on to enemy , when i move then my champ starts walking, and only after he ends walking he starts to attack and makes sometines a lot of misplays . Any tips?
If you are Korean, you get +20% bonus kiting skill. Spawn diff
Could you do a guide about how to learn to use free cam? :(
Literally just use it. It will feel normal after two games
"gumayusi is good and we're not" 😂
what about player movement setting? can u show us, please, i really want to kwon.
So it boils down to...open your settings bro?
Problem with A: You have to left click to do the trick and with the instant one it's faster because I don't know need to click twice.
Problem with instant: I can't use champion only toggle...
How do you target champions that are behind objectives, like a tower, without target champion only?
if you A click then you just have to make sure your cursor is closer to the enemy champion than the tower
@@ProfessorDdangI see. Thank you.
Didn’t learn anything new, all I do already.
It's funny because if you press c you have the attack range shown as long as you press the key, i feel like gumayusi should just press c (and change the key to some closer to his fingers) but maybe this guy just loves to spam lol.

"doesnt gumayusi do that" yes he does that to measure his range, PLUS HE IS GOOD AND WERE NOT lol that was hilarious
may i ask how do you kite a champ when he is around a bunch of minions? it feels awful

Seems like this guys 1s is the normal person's 2s, seeing that he can attack 2 times in 1s with 1.1 attack speed 😂

can you do this with consistent 107ms ping ? thank you
Absolutely I played on 110 ping and got Plat in the past as ADC.
Sounds painful, but I think if you're good enough lol

HIya what is Z kiting.
I replied to the person above but basically it's a kiting method where your keybindings are on Z&X to maximize AA speed. Regardless, it's not a good method to kite so don't worry about it!
wth even is z kiting o.O

It is easier but not as accurate cuz if lets say 2 enemies chase you you will attack the nearest which isnt always optimal
he said never use Z kiting then never mentioned what is that. i'll avoid his videos now, let me gift u a dislike
Screw you
