Hi

so i'm new to lol and mobas in general and i don't understand how or the best key binds for attack moving and just attacking in general. right now i have T set as my attack move key but i'm finding it hard to help team fights when i just attack the closest minion instead. any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Personally, I have attack move bound to a button on my mouse. That's the easiest in my opinion, but not everybody has extra buttons.

You'll want to make sure you have the setting enabled where attack move attacks the thing closest to your cursor, rather than the thing closest to you. That way, you get a lot more control over what you're attacking.

Basically, the idea is to "stutter step". You hit your attack move button to manually attack, then click your move button to make a small movement between attacks. It's gonna require some rapid mouse movements to get it right, clicking between your target and the direction you want to move, but the result is that you slowly move around while dishing out damage, making you more of a threat.

If you really need to, there is also a toggle for "Target champions only" that you can turn on for teamfights or when the enemy is trying to use minions/wards/towers to prevent you from clicking on them. That way, attack move won't accidentally hit minions.

The only time attack move is really important vs reqular attack click is when chasing into loss of vision (such as into an unwarded bush).

The rest of the time it is a crutch to make up for being unable to reliably do things without it. It can give you better results in the short term, but relying on it to much makes improving your mouse accuracy and speed harder in the long run. And if you over use it too much it (basically, if you use it as an all purpose attack command and only right click to move) will cause your mouse accuracy to drop over time making everything that is not auto attacking harder.
