POLL: Where do you put your potions?

General Esdeath ··15 votes·2,503 views

For years I've put HP potions on 1, Mana potions on 2, wards on 3. With mana pots removed I still put HP pots on 1 and wards on 3, but I see a lot of videos of people with potions on 2, and I think it's because the store puts them AFTER your starting item. And when they start corrupting potion they put it on 2 anyway.

SO, where is your potion stored in your inventory?

2 until I get an active item. Then the active goes on 2 and the pot goes on 3.

Bhagswag2 votes

Same. Most important active goes here (ex: Tiamat). Second most important active goes on 3 (ex: randuins). In that case, any potion I still might have will go on 1. The least important active goes on 1.

After three active items, I wonder why I'm not a support main instead.

edit: Holy shit wait I am a support main kind of LOL (Janna, Braum, Shen)

This is the only correct answer to this thread. Also F is for Flash not Dlash

Heheheh... and I'm a support main... I have a FULL SYSTEM.

To answer your question - item 2003 are 2, rotating to 6 once I have something for slot 2. You didn't expect that did you? Buwaha!

And now- for the unrequested encore.

1 is for gold-gen actives, shields, speed boosts or impairments item 3401item 3069item 3092 (on a carry item 3142item 3814)

2 is for reflex-actives item 3157item 3107item 3190item 3222 (in order of priority to take that slot) (on a carry item 3748item 3152 )

3 is for item 3193item 3140 so I can press 3-2-1 with a gargoyle-locket-fotm build, or 3,2 with a crucible. Or it'll take a reflex active with a lower priority if slot 2 is taken.

4 changes from item 3361 to item 3364,

5 is item 2049 (which is why supports don't summon Rift Herald while trying to ward)

6 is item 2055 (takes priority over health pots)

7 is where I lose my mind from too many buttons. But item 3512item 3060 if the game has taken THAT turn...

8 is Zoe; who doesn't work very well as support because our brains have melted from actives.

Ohho, I have the same system except I put my sighstone in three instead.

I put them on 2 because it's right above the W, where my middle finger is, so it's close enough to just press during a fight

Eedat1 votes

you play with your middle finger on W? I thought everyone played with their ring finger on W.

Z3Sleeper5 votes

? Do you use your pinky to press Q? Lol. Nah it's easier to press E and R with your index finger than it is to press Q and W with your ring finger.

Do you use your pinky to press Q?

Yes. So does everyone I know lol

Sounds like you're from TEXAS.

Or everyone you knew did Mavis Beacon before playing computer games.

Sraeg20132 votes

For me it's ring on Q, middle on W, S and index for E, R, D and F. Pinky is for... CTRL for level ups!

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh crap, I did type middle finger. I meant my ring finger

Sraeg20131 votes

Well, if you played a lot of games that used WASD for moving having your middle finger on W is quite normal.

I just put both at the end of my inventory. Starter Item > Highest Value Item > Components > Boots > Wards/Potions, but if we're talking starter items then 2.

I put potions on 3 while I'm primarily laning, since I can react more quickly and precisely with my middle finger during/right after fights.

After laning, if I don't have active items, I'll put my pots on 2/T when I remember and put control wards on T when I remember to buy them. If I have only one active item, I put pots on 2 and leave the active on 3, with control wards on T. If I have a few active items, I tend to put pots on 4 or 6, since they'll be largely secondary to item actives.

(My layout for keybindings on items is 1/2/3/4/6/T with 5 for trinkets.)

Pots and defensive items go in 2, sightstone/pinks go in 3, offensive or speed boost items go in 1. ALWAYS!

Lauchmelder2 votes

On 2. If I'm playing support it moves to 3 because 2 is reserved for Sightstone.

Athenes Lulu2 votes

2 if I don't have a sightstone, 3 if I do.

I changed 2 to space so I can really easily use pots and active items. I can really easily use them because my thumb is usually on space anyways.

Sraeg20131 votes

What about centring the camera then?

Z3Sleeper2 votes

Centering + Lock = Y

Centering + Lock -> Unlock = Y, Y

Since I actually make use of locked screen time to time, I primarily use Y as my centering key as well.

2, with 3 as my second active item. Your middle finger is the longest finger, and thus has the easiest time reaching higher keys. The middle finger covers the 2 and 3 keys on my keyboard, so they are the ones I prefer to use for actives. After that it goes 1, 4, 5, 6 in terms of priority based on the easiest to reach for me.

Pots in 2 pressed with my finger.... i fail some things that would be cool when i forget to change my corrupting potions into 2 especially when i do it on leblanc [leblanc-funny] but i have another question do you guys use your pinkies for q too or is that just me? Both my brother don't so i wanna no if im doing it uncommonly*[sg-ahri-3]*

I put my pinky on Q. But maybe it is stronger than everyone else's because of all the promises I make. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Always 2. And then later on in the game the 2 button gets used for my most important item active, like Zhonyas or Locket.

My potions go on 3 unless I have an active item, in which case they go on 2 and the active item goes on 3. If I have 2 or more actives I put potions on 1 and actives on 2-X (however many I have).

Who is Taliyah1 votes

I put potions at 1 in early game. Once I get my first activ item I put potions on 2 and the item on 1. If I buy a 2nd activ item I put that item on 3 so it is Item - potion - item.

When I play support I put Sightstone on 4. My Tirnket is on 7 which is actually pretty stupid and uncomfortible. I always want to change that but I am too lazy lol.

Also Flash is on D like it is supposed to be. People using flash on F are doing something wrong with their life.

I had it on 2, but then I played a bunch of Aatrox and would usually end backing, buying tiamat, then buying pots and then it just became habit.

Pinkaj1 votes

Slot 2 to start, then I move my Sightstone/zhonyas to 1, redemp/frost queens to 2, locket to 3 and everything else i probably wont press xD

Forhonor3211 votes

When the games starts and I buy my items, potions just fall under 2 and I usually leave them there. Sometimes I'll move them to three if I have two items unless I have an active item, in which case I'll usually move it to 5.

Health pots on 2 but when I get corrupting pots first item such as Darius it’s on 1

3 always. SS is 2 and main active item is 1.

wow im suprised how many other people put it on 2. I always though I was the odd one out.

while(pots == true) { if (active_Items < 1) { bindPots('2'); } else { if (active_Items == 1) { bindActive1('2'); bindPots('5'); } else if(active_Items == 2) { bindActive1('2'); bindActive2('5'); bindPots('3'); } else if(active_Items > 2) sell_pots; } }
