can the shop automatically close when we take damage?

Really sucks when you are recalling and looking at shop it is really hard to realize you are being attacked.

Pro tip: don't look at the shop while you're recalling, do it while you're healing.

You often want to get back out of the fountain ASAP and getting your items takes time. Therefore, you can get into the shop and navigate to the item you wish to purchase before starting to heal, because every second you stand on the fountain at full hp/mana is a wasted second.

In order to do this, you need to assess that your environment is safe enough to do so and keep an eye out on the minimap.

I usually back, move to the edge of the fountain, then buy my items. But I also usually know what to buy before I get there.

if u look at high elo players, they get their items as soon as they finish their recall animation, so they probably look at the shop while recalling

It's possible they know how to do math and also know the prices of items and what their next build path is too.

OR they pre plan their next items while leaving shop

i dont open shop during recall as to avoid OPs problem and i dont sit in base, shop is easy to guide through and between it's simplicity and the fact that you can pull up your next item or just browse while running back to lane means you shouldn't have an issue

yes they may be looking but they do so knowing where the enemy is. they have better awareness of the map and typically a better feel of where champs could possibly come from. partly why they are higher elo. also they know how much gold is needed to complete X item ect.

side note dont buy while you are dead, if the enemy hits tab they can see the items as long as your champ is visible on the map. wait til the graphic of your dead body fades away or after you re-spawn

It already does.

The DeckownerJul 27, 20161 votes

it does? why does mine not do that? is it default or do u need to change the setting?

Lost RJul 27, 20161 votes

It's supposed to do it by default.

The DeckownerJul 27, 20165 votes

might be bugged then. not sure why mine doesnt do that.

I QJul 28, 20161 votes

No, it doesnt automatically close.

MyLittleWindmillJul 27, 20165 votes

Mine doesn't close on it's own, either. Would be handy.

how do you not notice you are taking damage while in shop? the game flashes red when you take damage wtf.

The DeckownerJul 28, 20162 votes

idk i think it's bugged my screen only flash when im getting cc not when im taking dmg.

Sad TyrantJul 28, 20161 votes

it does though, they added that

NightmareAmazoXJul 28, 20161 votes

Go to your options who can choose if you want your screen to flash or not when you are taking dmg it will help that way when you are looking at shop

Gosh DarnJul 28, 20164 votes

As a jungler I'd rather not. I like looking at the shop while finishing up a clear.

BardfulJul 28, 20161 votes

Why not just getting attacked by champions? I find it can be hard to react with a shop in your face even when you see it happen.

Gosh DarnJul 28, 20161 votes

That'd make sense and have minimal downsides so yeah I'd support that.

warpenguin555Jul 27, 20163 votes

Friendly RamJul 28, 20163 votes

it should do it?

BananaJannanaJul 28, 20163 votes

INSTRUCTION NOT CLEAR! Riot now makes the shop screen open whenever you take damage, but that's okay because the statistics (which they will not show us) say that the majority of the players prefer it this way!

HyperiönJul 28, 20163 votes

Why are you even looking in the shop when you are recalling? That is just plain old stupid.

PartholonianJul 28, 20162 votes

Because then Karthus could interrupt people trying to shop.

The shop should automatically close if you have it open while channeling recall and your recall is interrupted, but not if you are already in base and take damage from a global.

doiminat0r3600Jul 28, 20161 votes

Oh no. Such a shame to have to press a single button again in the safest place in the map. /s

In reality, the post is talking about recalling under tower, then getting tower dove but being unaware of it because shop was up.

how about you don't open the shop while you are backing?

at no point about you are in someplace that's not safe should you be shopping, and if the place isn't safe then you should be paying attention to the surroundings to make sure you don't die.

if you die because the shop was open, that is your fault for not playing smart and cutting off your own vision of the map.
