how do you avoid alt tabbing?

Ok so i quit for like a month to a month and a half and rarely when i want to ping something thats in the scoreboard menu such as enemy summoner spell it'll accidentally alt tab and minimize the game. In the past i could simply click the game and it'd come back up like like a second but since coming back after having been gone for a while it now it takes like 4 seconds to come back up which can be severely dangerous such as my last match where it got me and my adc killed.

Im thinking about maybe rehotkeying the scoreboard menu if it's possible, but tab is pretty convenient due to location and button size so idk. How do the rest of you avoid alt tabbing?

I just quickly adjusted to not needing to hit alt to ping scoreboard stuff, so don't really have the issue. Ctrl pinging would probably also avoid it.

(Interesting you noticed a longer than normal delay in tabbing back into game though, I noticed that as well. I'd made a change to my system at around the same time as I noticed the difference so I'd blamed that, but if it's something on riots end that's interesting.)

Riot made alt not necessary to ping stuff on the scoreboard for exactly that reason. It's a really nice bit of foresight on their part. Thanks, Riot!

Well if you have decent specs you can playing full resolution + borderless window mode to make the game psuedo full screen. It allows you to alt-tab back and forth quickly without waiting for the game to load you back to where you left the game window from.
