Changelog

Test your mic and hear the coach before you queue

Settings can now check your audio before a game, so a microphone or speaker problem shows up in the menu instead of mid-match.

• NewTest microphone: speak for three seconds while a level bar shows what we pick up, then hear your recording played back. It tells you which microphone it used, or what went wrong.
• ImprovedThe voice test now plays a sample coaching tip, so you hear exactly how the coach sounds in game at your chosen volume.

The Free tier, spelled out

Free now means minimap vision, gank warnings, builds and scouting in every game, plus 3 AI-coached games a month. Jungler prediction and spoken callouts are Basic and up.

• NewA post-game recap in the companion: your gold curve with your deaths marked, the result, and a link to the full review. When the AI coach sat a game out, it says what a coached game would have added.
• ImprovedOut-of-credits copy now says what stays on and when your 3 coached games renew, with a link to the Discord. The settings page shows which features need Basic and up instead of guessing from your plan name.
• ImprovedThe enemy jungler heatmap and spoken jungler callouts are Basic and up. On Free the toggles stay visible and locked, with the reason next to them.
• FixedGames played after the free credits run out now show up in your game history on the website, like every other game.

Sign in first, then everything runs

The companion now waits at the sign-in screen until you are signed in. Nothing tracks, listens or talks before that.

• ImprovedUntil you sign in with Google, the companion stays on the sign-in screen and the overlay stays empty. No minimap tracking, no champ select watching, no coach. Sign in once and it all starts right away, no restart needed.
• ImprovedSigning out is blocked while a game is running so the game is saved properly. You will see 'Finish the game first'.
• FixedA signed-out companion no longer looks broken mid-game. Before, it showed an empty game plan and quietly failed every coach request.
• FixedThe dashboard live view now works in your first session after signing in, not only after a relaunch.

Problems get found before you report them

When diagnostics are on, the app now sends us its own log after each game, together with the settings it ran with. If a feature quietly did nothing during your game, we can see why without asking you for a support bundle.

• NewPer-game diagnostics: the app's log for each game, plus a snapshot of your settings and what the app believed about your plan, is uploaded after the game and kept privately for about three months. The diagnostics checkbox in Settings turns it off; the privacy page explains exactly what is included.
• ImprovedHighlights say why they are off. When recording is disabled in Settings or your plan cannot be confirmed yet, the app now records the reason instead of silently skipping the game.
• ImprovedSupport bundles now include your settings and the highlights state, so a report tells the whole story on the first read.

Minimap tracking sets itself up

No more positioning the minimap box by hand: the app now works out where your minimap is from your game settings and places it for you at the start of every game.

• NewFresh installs and reinstalls get enemy tracking, gank alerts and jungler callouts from the first game, with no setup. The box follows your minimap scale, resolution and window mode, and moves with the minimap when you put it on the left.
• ImprovedA box you placed yourself stays exactly where you put it. If it no longer matches your game settings, the app tells you; Reset to default in the overlay's edit mode hands placement back to the app.
• FixedThe automatic box was about a quarter too small on every setup. Tracking accuracy improves for everyone who never adjusted it.

Pick your coaching, hear your jungler

The AI coach is now three switches instead of one. Keep the pregame plan but skip in-game chatter, keep only the on-demand answers, or turn all of it off and run Scoutr.gg purely for its jungler tracking, gank alerts and highlights. And the tracker can now say out loud where the enemy jungler shows up.

• NewSettings has an AI coaching section with separate switches for the game plan, proactive coaching and asking the coach. Each one only changes whether that coaching happens; everything else keeps working.
• NewJungler callouts: turn them on and the voice announces where the enemy jungler appears on the minimap, anywhere on the map. A slider sets how long he has to be unseen before his next appearance counts.
• ImprovedThe overlay's jungler sighting line now re-fires after 15 seconds unseen instead of 20, so a quick dip into fog counts as a new sighting.
• ImprovedPanels that depend on a switched-off feature now say so instead of waiting forever, and the push-to-talk card hides while asking is off.

No more access codes

Getting into Scoutr.gg is now just your Google account. There is nothing to paste: sign in, ask for access on Discord (or pick a plan), and the app unlocks on its own the moment it's switched on.

• NewThe welcome screen no longer asks for an access code. After you sign in it shows a waiting card with the account you used, a Discord link to request access, a plans link, and a Check now button. It unlocks by itself once access is enabled.
• ImprovedSigned in with the wrong Google account? Switch straight from the waiting card instead of digging through settings.
• ImprovedThe in-game banner for an account that isn't enabled yet now says what to do (ask on Discord or pick a plan) instead of telling you to re-enter a code that no longer exists.

The coach stops pretending

Two silent failures fixed: games that looked coached but weren't, and scouting that only ever worked for one region.

• FixedSome games showed no matchup or team-comp advice at all, with no explanation. The coach's opening analysis had timed out, but everything downstream still treated the game as coached, so you got empty panels and the game counted against your monthly allowance. It now says plainly when the analysis didn't come through, and those games are no longer counted.
• ImprovedThe opening analysis gets more time to finish before it gives up, so it succeeds on games where it used to time out.
• FixedPlayer scouting now works outside Europe West. The app never worked out which region you play on and looked everyone up on EUW, so if you play anywhere else the rank badges, the matchup face-off and the team comparison were always empty. It now picks your region up from the League client.

Where is their jungler? The minimap now shows you

A new opt-in overlay paints a live probability heatmap of the enemy jungler's likely position over your minimap, built from sightings, where they have NOT been seen, objective timers and respawns.

• NewEnemy jungler heatmap: hot blobs mark where the enemy jungler probably is right now, fading as the picture gets less certain. Seen on a gank path? It follows. Missing for 40 seconds with Baron up? It leans toward Baron. Dead? A respawn countdown chip replaces the heat.
• NewOff by default. Flip it on in Settings under "Enemy jungler heatmap". Everything is computed on your PC.

Your highlights, right when the game ends

The end-of-game screen now plays back the highlight clips you just earned, with a one-click link to the full game breakdown on the web.

• NewWhen a game ends, the companion shows your highlight clips right there on the post-game screen so you can rewatch them without leaving the app.
• NewAn Open full game review link jumps straight to that game's page on your dashboard for the complete breakdown.

Your whole penta, in the clip

Highlight clips now stretch to fit the full kill sequence instead of cutting off the opening kills.

• ImprovedMultikill highlights now capture the entire sequence: the clip grows up to 20 seconds to include every kill from the first to the last, instead of only the final 10 seconds.
• ImprovedSolo-kill clips are unchanged (10 seconds), so your library stays quick to skim.

Discord shows your champ select too

• NewYour Discord profile now shows you're in champ select with Scoutr.gg, not just in game. Same switch in Settings turns both off.

You're now playing with Scoutr.gg, on Discord

• NewWhile you're in game, your Discord profile shows you're playing with Scoutr.gg: your champion, role and game time, plus a link for the curious. It talks only to the Discord app on your PC, and you can turn it off anytime in Settings.

A big under-the-hood cleanup

A deep pass over the companion's internals: dozens of small architecture fixes that make it faster, steadier, and easier for us to improve. A few of them you can see.

• FixedThe jungler tracker's last-seen location now stays pinned while the enemy jungler is missing, the way it always should have: "last seen: Red Raptors" instead of a blank.
• FixedThe companion no longer reports its vision tracker as degraded while you sit in the lobby between games.
• ImprovedChamp select is noticeably lighter: the companion no longer redraws every panel twice a second while you hover picks.
• ImprovedSettings and the builds panel are now fully translated in Spanish, including the highlights recording notice.
• FixedA rare hiccup where hovering champions during pick could stop the pick suggestions from filtering out unavailable champions for the rest of the draft.
• ImprovedHighlight capture is steadier when a recording probe and a new game overlap.

Your overlay, your panels

Pick exactly which panels the in-game overlay shows. Hide the ones you never look at and keep your screen clean.

• NewSettings now has an Overlay panels section: toggle any of the eight overlay panels on or off, and a running overlay updates within seconds. No restart needed.
• NewHiding a panel only changes what you see. Voice answers are still spoken, gank alerts still ring the minimap, and jungle tracking keeps running in the background.

Highlights, now with sound

Your highlight clips now carry the game's audio, so the moment sounds the way it felt.

• NewHighlight clips include the sound you hear in-game: game audio, music, and voice chat you're listening to. Your microphone is never recorded.
• ImprovedIf audio can't be captured cleanly for a clip (for example a tab-out right in the middle of it), the clip stays silent rather than shipping with out-of-sync sound.

Your best moment, clipped

The companion now records your best play each game as a 10-second video clip. Watch it on your dashboard and download it to share.

• NewGame highlights: pentakills, multikills, objective steals, and solo kills are automatically clipped in a 10-second video with your best moment of the game. Basic keeps your top clip, Pro keeps your top three.
• NewWatch and download your highlight from the game review page on your scoutr.gg dashboard, ready to share on Discord or anywhere else.
• NewA "Record highlights" switch in Settings controls it. Recording captures only the monitor the game is on, only while you're in the game, and pauses when you tab out.

Your coach, your rules

A real settings page: pick your push-to-talk key, choose how often the coach speaks up, and tune the voice, right from the app.

• NewSettings page in the companion (the gear in the title bar, even mid-game): change your push-to-talk key, voice volume, language, and more. No restart needed for most of it.
• NewCoach cadence: choose quiet, normal, or chatty. Quiet keeps the coach to the essentials and leaves more room for your own questions; chatty checks in more often. Also editable from your dashboard on scoutr.gg.
• ImprovedThe coach paces itself now, with noticeably fewer interruptions during a game and a small "pacing" hint when it's holding back. Tap-to-ask still answers whenever there's room.
• NewTest volume button: hear a sample line at your chosen volume before locking it in.

Tap for a play call

The push-to-talk key learned a second gesture.

• NewTap the push-to-talk key (Delete by default) for an instant play call: the coach picks the best move for this exact moment and says it out loud. Holding the key still asks a voice question, exactly as before.
• NewEuropean keyboards can now bind the <> key next to left Shift (LOL_COMPANION_PTT_KEY=iso102), the most comfortable spot for your left hand. It's unbound in League, so no conflicts.
• ImprovedAn explicit tap always gets a spoken answer, even when the coach recently said the same thing. Re-confirming the plan is the point.

Ask the coach more, and take your time

The push-to-talk voice coach got a lot more room to breathe.

• ImprovedYou can now ask the coach up to 5 voice questions per game (up from 2), with a bigger monthly allowance on every plan.
• ImprovedVoice questions can be up to 10 seconds long (up from 5), enough to actually describe the situation you're asking about.

Know both teams before the game starts

Champ select now shows a live radar of what each team is built to do, updated with every pick.

• NewA team-identity radar in champ select compares both comps across engage, picks, poke, split push and peel, growing as picks lock in.
• NewOnce a comp's shape is clear, you get its identity (teamfight, poke and siege, split push, and more) plus a one-line game plan for playing your comp and beating theirs.

Pick ideas before you lock in

The companion now helps with the pick itself: while you decide, it suggests champions for your role with the reasons spelled out.

• NewChamp select now shows pick ideas for your role before you lock in: champions that counter the enemy picks (with real win rates and sample sizes), balance your team's damage, or fill a gap in your comp. Suggestions, not orders. Zero coaching credits used.
• NewSuggestions react as the draft unfolds: they update when picks and bans land, skip champions you don't own, and step aside the moment you lock your champion.

Builds the moment you lock in

• NewYour recommended build now appears the instant you lock your champion in champ select. No waiting, and it doesn't use any of your coaching credits.
• NewRune and item-set import now work right from champ select, even before you generate a matchup brief.
• NewMany champions now show a second, off-meta build option: a genuinely different direction (think lethality Garen), clearly labeled with how many games it's based on.
• ImprovedBuild recommendations now cover the whole champion roster and refresh every patch, with better matchup coverage per champion.

Ask your coach anything, out loud, mid-game

Push-to-talk is here: hold a key, ask a question, and the coach answers with full awareness of your game, spoken back and on screen.

• NewHold F9 in-game to ask the coach a question out loud (up to 5 seconds). The answer streams onto the overlay and is spoken back, grounded in the live game state, not generic advice.
• NewPrefer a different key? Set LOL_COMPANION_PTT_KEY to mouse4, mouse5 or capslock. Heads-up: the key press still reaches the game, so pick one you don't use in LoL.
• NewVoice questions show up in your game history timeline alongside the coaching you received.
• ImprovedVoice questions are capped at 2 per game during the alpha.

The minimap lights up when a gank is coming

Gank alerts are now spatial: instead of only reading a warning, your eyes get pulled to the exact place you should be looking.

• NewWhen the enemy jungler threatens your lane, a pulsating red ring appears around your minimap. It shows without holding Tab and fades as the threat passes.
• ImprovedThe ring uses your calibrated minimap position, so it lands exactly on your minimap at any resolution or scale.

Faster cloud, cleaner demo

We rebuilt the cloud plumbing behind the app. This update is required so your live dashboard keeps working.

• ImprovedYour live-game dashboard card now talks straight to the coaching service, with fewer moving parts between your game and your browser.
• ImprovedScout lookups, in the app's hub and on scoutr.gg, now run on a dedicated lookup service.
• NewThe demo game on scoutr.gg loads instantly, and every player name in it is now anonymized.

Never lose the enemy jungler again

The overlay now does your jungle bookkeeping for you: a small always-on tracker keeps the enemy jungler's whereabouts in the corner of your eye while you farm.

• NewEnemy jungler tracker on the overlay: see where they were last spotted, how long they've been missing, and when they respawn after dying. It stays quietly on screen during the game, no Tab hold needed, and turns amber then red the longer they're unseen.
• ImprovedThe tracker only appears once the jungler has actually been seen, so it never sits on your screen with nothing useful to say. Drag it anywhere in arrange mode (Ctrl+Shift+H) like any other panel.

Alpha, out loud

We're building Scoutr in the open, and now the app and the site say so clearly, with a straight line into the community.

• NewThe app's home screen now reminds you that you're an early tester: things will break, tell us and we'll fix them. It has a one-click way into our Discord and the report-a-problem form right there.
• NewJoin-the-Discord links were added to the welcome screen and the Help panel. Questions and feedback now have somewhere to go.
• Newscoutr.gg shows a slim free-alpha banner on every page, with the Discord invite and a link to what's new.

Coaching for every role

The coach now speaks jungle, support, ADC, and mid, not just top lane. And no matter where you play, you'll know the moment the enemy jungler shows up on the map.

• NewEnemy jungler sightings: whenever the enemy jungler appears anywhere on the minimap, the Gank Threats panel and the in-game overlay call it out with where they were seen.
• NewRole-aware coaching tips: over 20 new directives built for junglers (pathing, counter-ganks, camp tracking), supports (vision, roam windows), ADCs (positioning, wave discipline), and mids (tempo, roams). You'll never be told to proxy farm as a support again.
• FixedGank warnings now actually fire for mid, bot, and support players. They were silently top-lane-only before.

The app knows your plan

Groundwork for plans and credits. Nothing changes for alpha testers today, but the app now understands usage limits and will always tell you where you stand.

• NewIf your plan ever runs out of coaching credits, the app says so clearly with an upgrade link. Vision tracking, gank warnings, and voice keep working either way.
• NewOn limited plans the pre-game hub shows how many coached games you have left this month and when they reset.
• ImprovedA brief service hiccup and an account issue now show different messages, so you know whether to wait or sign in again.

One live view, and it's yours

The public share-a-link feature is gone; your private dashboard is now the one place to watch your games live.

• ImprovedWatching your live game now happens on your signed-in dashboard only. No more public links to your matches.
• ImprovedThe Share toggle is gone from the title bar; live publishing to your dashboard is automatic while you're signed in.
• Improved“Watch a live game” on the site now always shows a recorded demo game, clearly labeled as a demo.

Cleaner, faster, más español

A deep cleanup release: the app got leaner under the hood, and Spanish players get wording that matches their LoL client.

• FixedSpanish stats now speak proper LoL: the same terms as the official client (asesinatos, not kills).
• FixedCoach tips show the same number of hints whether you play in English or Spanish.
• ImprovedA big round of internal spring cleaning for snappier, more reliable updates ahead.

The big polish pass

We audited the whole app and fixed the papercuts: smoother flows around your game, clearer messages when something's off.

• NewWhen your game ends, a banner offers you a one-click trip back to the scouting hub.
• NewChamp select now warns you if the LoL client isn't detected instead of silently showing nothing.
• ImprovedPanels update with less flicker and the app moves less data around.
• ImprovedMore urgent messages are properly translated in Spanish.
• FixedThe overlay's first-run hint waits for your first real game instead of wasting itself at launch.

Accounts are here

The milestone release: the account experience that landed in 0.5.11 graduates to the official way into Scoutr.gg.

• ImprovedSign-in, activation, and sharing are now one account story, promoted from experiment to front door.

The minimap finds itself

Setup just got dramatically easier: the app now locates your minimap on its own.

• NewAutomatic minimap detection: the app proposes the capture box, you drag to confirm, done. No more manual pixel-hunting.

Kayn can't hide

Sharper eyes on the minimap and a steadier connection to your game.

• NewTransforming champions (looking at you, Kayn) are now tracked through their form changes.
• FixedEnemy champions on the minimap are detected reliably again.
• ImprovedSteadier real-time connection between the game and the app.

Foundations

The stability release: better feedback when something goes wrong, and the app tells you how it's doing.

• NewOne-click "Report a problem" that packages your logs and sends them to us.
• NewHealth dots in the footer show every part of the app is alive.
• ImprovedWhen the coach is offline, the app now tells you why, and Spanish coverage spans the whole interface.
• FixedAbility preview videos play for every champion.
