How do I get used to using useable items?

For example I never use item 3153 in fights because I just simply forget and I'm not used to using it. How do I get used to using them? P.S I've remapped my keys for my useable items to be 'T' and 'Y' but, I still forget to use them

I have designated spots for my items. Hydra always goes on 2, BoTrK/Youmou's goes on either 1 or 3, Righteous Glory/Talisman go on 1, Sightstone goes on 2 or 3, etc. I just keep playing like that until I get used to it.

The only downside is sometimes I forget to change the spots around and I'm mashing a button wondering why my active isn't working.

For me what really help was getting a mouse that has buttons on the side. i got the League of Legends Razer Naga and its been helpful despite how using 1-7. it helps me out. still on getting use to it, but i would say its a great investment!

Just constantly think about it during the game.

I always put my active items in the 1, 2, and 3, pockets.

this happens to me all the time 123 are above qwe so it makes it easier to remember.. then... you just gotta keep thinking about it.. practice using it. I still forget sometimes... but you will get the hang of it slowly like I am.

T and Y are sorta harder to get to.

I like to call this.. Bronzie forgetfullness syndrom... We know what we should be doing... but when we enter the rift we forget everything... Sorta like anxiety to a test.. we studied hard for.. but when the exam is on the desk you know know any of the answers. You start to freak out, and get mad. go afk lol

Buy the same one and put it in the same inventory slot and try to get used to trying to use it even when you dont have it. For instance, I always build Talisman on Alistar and I always bind it to #2, so even during laning phase I would try to use 2 when I thought a speedup would be useful, this way when I finished the item I would remember to use it. Eventually you start to learn times in the game where you will have it and you use it more often the more you play.

For me when I first started I always forgot also. I think because I didn't really read and understand what the actives on the items did. Read the active and really understand what it is capable of. Then start thinking about situations where it will come in handy and you will start to remember to use it. When that situation arises you will suddenly remember, "hey i have an item that does exactly what i need right now." You may be slow in remembering at first, but it will become second nature soon enough, especially if you play the same champs a lot that use that item. It becomes just another ability to you.
