One of the most annoying things about buying a new League of Legends account is reconfiguring all your settings from scratch.

Imagine missing a Zhonya's activation just because your item isn’t bound to the right key! Over the years, you've probably fine-tuned your settings, keybinds, and camera preferences—but remembering all of them? Impossible.

Thankfully, there's a quick and easy way to copy your settings instantly to your new smurf! 🎉



Step-by-Step Guide: Copy Your League Settings to a Smurf

  1. Find the file named: PersistedSettings.json
