Cant auto attack minions

Cooldog7052·Mar 23, 2019·1 votes·3,042 views

I have been playing league for about 3 years kinda off and on. Recently i wanted to start playing again, so I did. Installed the client, updated the game, invited some friends, and started a game. It was an enjoyable game until i couldn't auto attack the minions. I tried changing the keybind and nothing. Finished out the game thinking it was just a glitch in the 1 game. Played another game and it happened again. I don't understand none of my friends have gotten this glitch and it really makes me mad. I uninstalled the client and reinstalled played 1 game fine. Played another and guess what, the glitch came back. I really dont know what to do and i really what to go back to the good old days of actually having fun but i cant so does anyone know a fix?????

Make sure that your attack champions only button isn't being held down by some mysterious force.

hm, hard to say

if a reinstall didn't fix it then the problem doesn't lie with league

Buy a new mouse (if you are playing with one). A tried and true method is, if you aren't sure what the problem is, start with the easiest or cheapist thing to fix. You can get a run of the mill mouse from Target or Walmart for probably around $20. (If you're using a trac-pad...then you have a separate issue)
Double check that the driver for your mouse is up to date. Often, PCs don't always install every update for hardware/software you have installed. Sometimes they require your input before they can be added. (contact the help services of your PC OS, as they will have an easier time helping you with something like that)
Send in a ticket to Riot. It seems like such a weird step, but it could be somewhat League related. Go to the main League site and look for the support option. There you can submit a request. Technical issue seems to be the route you want to go. Make sure you add in a subject. "Unable to auto attack minions.". Describe exactly what is going on and what steps you have taken to try and rectify it. This is an in-game issue and a performance issue. Fill out everything else you need then send the ticket out. Someone should get back to you within a few days.

I can auto for like half of the games for sometimes and then all of sudden it stops

I've never heard of an issue like that

that does sound more league than pc related

try downloading and running the hextech repair tool

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/224826367-Automated-Troubleshooting-Hextech-Repair-Tool

you will need to test after each of these if it still occurs, it will create a folder on your desktop that it will fill with the various logs

run it bare bones (just the general stuff)

run w the general stuff, the rec dns, and force repatch

run w the general stuff, the rec dns, and reinstall it

if after doing all 3 of these you are still having issues, you have two options

As stated before, contact the support team by putting in a ticket, you can then send them the logs and ask if they see anything that might be causing the issue. Hopefully they can fix it.
Run the hextech repair tool, reinstall and do a clean uninstall. while that may not be recommended; it is possible that even with a basic uninstall some left over files that are corrupted or broken are being left behind. You can of course reinstall the game at your leisure and see if you still have the problem. If you do, then I would just quit league, because at that point I'm not sure anything you or Riot does can fix the issue
