03
How smart bans work
Smart bans are meant to become personal, not generic. The goal is to explain why a ban is suggested instead of saying something vague like “not strong enough.”
EarlySmall sample. Useful hint, not a rule.
MediumEnough history to trust the direction.
HighRepeated pattern across games or accepted suggestions.
Examples you should see over time
- “You lose often against Yasuo when playing Akali.”
- “This ban is based on your last 20 games.”
- “Users similar to you ban Malphite here.”
- “Low confidence: only 2 games found.”
What improves suggestions
Manual bans, clicked suggestions, match history analysis, queue type, region, rank, and app version all help separate real patterns from random games.
04
Data & privacy

08
FAQ
Do I need to log in?
No for basic features. Yes for Premium, checkout, synced settings, and admin/device tools.
Does League Picker store my Riot password?
No. League Picker talks to the local League client and Riot API data, but it does not need or store your Riot password.
Why does a ban say low confidence?
The app has not seen enough games or accepted suggestions yet. More history makes the reason stronger.
Can I turn off data contribution?
Yes. Open Settings and disable Improve smart bans.
09
Troubleshooting
League client is not detected
Start the League client, sign in, and keep League Picker running at the same Windows permission level as League.
