After every update

Read patch notes for weapon, movement, or anti-cheat changes that touch League of Legends. Even small tuning shifts alter peek timing.

Run one unranked match to test recoil and movement before you risk rating. Muscle memory lies after balance passes.

Settings pass

Confirm sensitivity, FOV, and keybinds still feel correct. A one-line settings reset can silently ruin aim for days.

Lower visual clutter where possible — clearer screens make it easier to track targets during long League of Legends sessions.

Session limits

Stop after two heavy loss streaks. Tilt shows up as lazy peeks and ignored comms before it shows in stats.

Short, focused blocks keep decision-making sharp. Quality queues beat all-night grinds in League of Legends.
