Danger alerts for everyone, the whole map on the Scout plan

Every plan now has a safety net in every game: a red alert when an enemy comes near your lane, and for junglers the enemy jungler while he is in sight. Roaming alerts for every enemy and the enemy jungler panel are now part of the Scout plan, next to the heatmap and spoken callouts. Your 3 coached games a month on Free still include all of it. This update is required.

• NewDanger alerts on every plan: a red pulse on your minimap and at the edges of your screen, and an optional sound, when an enemy comes near your lane during laning phase. Playing jungle, you see the enemy jungler while he is in sight.
• ImprovedThe Scout plan shows the whole map in every game: roaming alerts for every enemy and the enemy jungler panel, with where he was last seen and for how long, together with the jungler heatmap and spoken callouts.
• NewAfter a game on Free, the recap shows how many roaming alerts the Scout plan would have shown you.
• ImprovedWhen your version of the app is too old to keep working, it now says so and shows a download button, instead of running without the coach.

Scoutr.gg now speaks Italian and Turkish

The companion, the overlay and the coach are available in Italian and Turkish. If your League client is in one of them, Scoutr.gg switches on its own the next time you open it.

• NewItalian and Turkish for the whole app: screens, the game plan, live coaching calls, push-to-talk answers, map locations and spoken jungler callouts. You can also pick either yourself in Settings, General, Language.
• NewIn Italian the coach speaks with a new Italian voice that downloads on its own the first time. Italian voice: serena (committa/serena-synthetic-it-27h, CC BY 4.0; transcripts adapted from Tatoeba, CC BY 2.0 FR), via Piper.
• NewIn Turkish the coach speaks with the free Turkish voice built into Windows, which most Turkish PCs already have. If yours doesn't, the app tells you, coaching shows as text, and scoutr.gg/help/turkish-voice shows how to add the voice in a few clicks.
• ImprovedThe Italian and Turkish wording is new and has not been checked by Italian or Turkish players yet. If something reads wrong or sounds odd, tell us in #bug-reports on Discord.

Scoutr.gg now speaks Korean

The companion, the overlay and the coach are available in Korean. If your League client is in Korean, Scoutr.gg switches on its own the next time you open it.

• NewKorean for the whole app: screens, the game plan, live coaching calls, push-to-talk answers, map locations and spoken jungler callouts. You can also pick it yourself in Settings, General, Language.
• NewIn Korean the coach speaks with the free Korean voice built into Windows, which most Korean PCs already have. If yours doesn't, the app tells you, coaching shows as text, and scoutr.gg/help/korean-voice shows how to add the voice in a few clicks.
• ImprovedThe Korean wording is new and has not been checked by a Korean player yet. If something reads wrong or sounds odd, tell us in #bug-reports on Discord.

Bigger Coach plans

Play a lot? The Coach plan now comes in three sizes: 30, 60 or 120 coached games a month. This update is required.

• NewThe Coach 2x plan (60 coached games and 300 voice asks a month) and the Coach 4x plan (120 games, 600 voice asks), next to the Coach plan on the pricing page.
• NewMove between the Scout, Coach, Coach 2x and Coach 4x plans from the pricing page. A bigger plan starts right away; a smaller one starts at your next renewal.
• ImprovedThe app shows your plan's name and allowance on the Coach 2x and Coach 4x plans.

One account, one game at a time

Coaching on a Scoutr.gg account now follows one simple rule: one coached game at a time, on up to 3 Riot accounts in each usage cycle. This update is required.

• NewYour plan and usage now show how many Riot accounts were coached this cycle. Play on several accounts for a living? Contact us and we will sort it out.
• ImprovedIf a game starts while another game on your account is still being coached, it picks up coaching on its own as soon as that game ends.
• FixedA long game with the coach's tips turned off no longer loses its coaching halfway through.

Coaching for this patch

The coach's game plan advice now follows the current patch: real objective timers, new calls for Rift Herald, Elder Dragon and Smite, and tips that show up when they matter.

• ImprovedDragon and Baron advice now shows up when they actually spawn (dragons from 5:00, Baron from 20:00), and the coach gives you a heads-up about 90 seconds before an objective spawns.
• NewNew calls: take and use the Rift Herald, fight for Elder Dragon, trade across the map, win the 2v2 as a support, and hold Smite for the objective as a jungler.
• FixedElder Dragon timing is right after a Soul, and old advice like "plates expire at 14:00" is gone.

Lighter while you play

Scoutr.gg now does less work while the game is in front, and the performance check can tell which window uses what.

• ImprovedWhile League covers the companion window, the companion stops refreshing and animating until you look at it again. A companion on a second monitor stays live.
• ImprovedMeasure performance in my next game now splits the app's usage by window (companion, overlay) and records memory over the whole game.

Measure what Scoutr.gg costs your PC

Turn on Settings, General, Measure performance in my next game, play one game, and we learn exactly how light Scoutr.gg is on your PC. It switches itself off afterwards.

• NewPerformance measurement: CPU, memory and graphics use for Scoutr.gg and League, plus League's frame rate if you allow it, with your numbers on the end-of-game screen.
• ImprovedLighter on smaller PCs: with 4 cores or 8 GB of memory or less, the app now runs its voice and minimap scanning on a smaller budget.
• FixedHighlights now check your graphics card on the real game capture, so Intel and AMD encoders that can't record are caught before your game, not during it.

Overlay off, if you want it off

You can now turn the in-game overlay off from Settings, Overlay, and the companion keeps running on its own.

• NewShow the in-game overlay: switch it off and the overlay closes right away, and it stays off the next time you open the app. Switch it on and it comes back, even mid-game.
• NewChanged the app language? A Restart now button applies it in one click.
• FixedGame modes with special units no longer fill the log with failed image downloads.

Red when they come for your lane

Roaming alerts now tell you when an enemy is close to your own lane, not just out of theirs. Pick how loud that should be in Settings, Overlay.

• NewAn enemy close to your lane during laning turns red on the minimap, the minimap gets a red pulse around it and the screen edges glow red.
• NewAn optional warning sound for the same moment, off until you turn it on. A play button in Settings lets you hear it first.
• ImprovedEach of the three alerts has its own switch, so keep only the ones you like.

Scoutr.gg now speaks Japanese

The companion, the overlay and the coach are available in Japanese. If your League client is in Japanese, Scoutr.gg switches on its own the next time you open it.

• NewJapanese for the whole app: screens, the game plan, live coaching calls, push-to-talk answers and spoken jungler callouts. You can also pick it yourself in Settings, General, Language.
• NewIn Japanese the coach speaks with the free Japanese voice built into Windows, which most Japanese PCs already have. If yours doesn't, the app tells you, coaching shows as text, and scoutr.gg/help/japanese-voice shows how to add the voice in a few clicks.
• ImprovedThe Japanese wording is new and has not been checked by a Japanese player yet. If something reads wrong or sounds odd, tell us in #bug-reports on Discord.

Gank threats pulse on the enemy

Gank alerts now point at the enemy instead of ringing the whole minimap. The enemy jungler pulses wherever he is seen, and a laner pulses once he leaves his lane.

• NewA pulse sits on the enemy's own minimap icon and fades a few seconds after he stops being a threat, so you can ping your team and plan around him.
• ImprovedYour lane opponent no longer sets off alerts by walking into the river next to your lane, and alerts stop flickering on and off.
• ImprovedEvery role now sees every enemy laner roam, not just the lanes next to theirs.

See what the Scout plan adds to your games

After a game on the Free plan, the recap now shows what the jungler heatmap and the spoken jungler callouts would have done in that exact game.

• NewThe post-game recap counts how often the enemy jungler showed up and how often the heatmap was already marking that area, so you can judge the Scout plan on your own games.
• Improved"See the Scout plan" links in the recap and in Settings take you straight to the Scout plan.

The overlay follows your game to any screen

Play League on your second monitor? The overlay now shows up on whichever screen the game is on, and moves with it.

• NewThe overlay opens on the screen League is on and follows the game if you move it to another monitor.
• FixedThe jungler heatmap, gank alerts and the minimap box now line up with the minimap on every screen, whatever its size or scaling.
• ImprovedOverlay panels always stay on screen, even on a smaller monitor.

Join the Discord in one click

Anyone with a Scoutr.gg account can now join our Discord straight from the app or the dashboard, linked to their account.

• NewJoin the Scoutr.gg Discord from the home screen or your dashboard: log in with Discord and you're in, no invite link needed.
• ImprovedFounders get the Founder role and the private lounge the same way, and buying the Founder's Pack later adds the role on its own.

Your plan, right on the home screen

See how many coached games and voice questions you have left as soon as the app opens, without digging into Settings.

• NewThe home screen now shows your plan and usage: coached games and voice questions used, and when they renew.
• ImprovedFree coached games come once per Riot account. If your Riot account is signed in on more than one Scoutr.gg account, the app tells you.

Turn up the jungler heatmap

You asked for a stronger jungler heatmap. Now you choose how strongly it is drawn over your minimap, and Settings shows you the result before your next game.

• NewHeatmap intensity in Settings > Jungler, from 50% to 400%. Turn it up to see where a jungler who has been missing for a while is likely to be. Your minimap always shows through.
• NewA minimap preview under fog of war right next to the slider, with two examples: a jungler you just lost, and one missing for a while.
• ImprovedAt 100% the heatmap looks exactly as before, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

Your overlay, your way

Choose which overlay panels stay on screen and which only show when you hold Tab, right from the overlay or from Settings. Panels now take less room and read calmer.

• NewPin any overlay panel so it stays on screen during the game. Gank threats and the enemy jungler are pinned to start with, and only show when there is something to see.
• NewIn the overlay's arrange mode (Ctrl+Shift+H) each panel has a title bar to pin it, hide it or bring it back. Settings > Overlay has the same choice: Off, On Tab or Always on.
• ImprovedThe coach's answer to your question stays in its panel until you press the key again, so you can read it twice.
• ImprovedOverlay panels show just their content, are smaller, and use calmer text without all the capitals.

One game, one coached game

Each game you play now counts once, whatever happens to the app or the client during it. This is a required update: older versions can't do this, so they stop getting AI coaching until you update.

• FixedRestarting the app in the middle of a game no longer counts that game twice. The coach picks the same game back up, with its game plan.
• FixedWatching a replay or spectating a game no longer starts coaching or uses up your coached games.
• FixedA game that ends with the client closing early (a crash, a remake, quitting) now shows up in your game history with what the app saw.

Your whole pentakill, first kill to last

Multikill clips now follow the kills themselves, so a long streak is recorded from start to finish.

• FixedA multikill clip could miss the first kills and show seconds of nothing after the last one. Clips now start about 5 seconds before the first kill and end 2 seconds after the last.
• ImprovedClips can run up to about a minute, enough for a full pentakill even when the fifth kill takes a while, at the same picture quality as before.
• FixedA kill that lands right as the game ends now gets its clip too.

Scoutr.gg now speaks French

The companion, the overlay and the coach are available in French. If your League client is in French, Scoutr.gg switches on its own the next time you open it.

• NewFrench for the whole app: screens, the game plan, live coaching calls, push-to-talk answers and spoken jungler callouts, with a French coach voice. The voice downloads the first time you start in French.
• NewYou can pick the language yourself in Settings, General, Language. English and Spanish work as before.
• ImprovedThe French wording is new and has not been checked by a French player yet. If something reads wrong or sounds odd, tell us in #bug-reports on Discord.

Scoutr.gg works in every League language

If your League client runs in a language other than English or Spanish, Scoutr.gg now recognises every champion, so gank alerts, jungler callouts and coaching work for you too.

• FixedGank alerts, jungler callouts and the jungler heatmap now work with League in Korean, Arabic, Russian, Chinese or any other language. Before, the minimap could not find enemy champions for these players.
• FixedChampion portraits, abilities, summoner spells and runes show up correctly for every client language, and your coach now knows exactly which champions are in your game.
• ImprovedVoice questions to the coach now use champion names in the language Scoutr.gg is set to.

Your games now renew on your own day

Monthly coached games no longer reset on the 1st. They renew on the day your plan started, and there is one place to see everything you have left.

• NewPlan & usage, in Settings and on your dashboard: coached games and voice questions with the date they renew, plus your top-up games and Founder reserve, which never expire.
• ImprovedCoached games renew every month on the day your plan started. On Free, that is the day you signed up.
• ImprovedThe games counter on the home screen now opens Plan & usage.

Every enemy jungler, spotted

Some junglers used to slip past the minimap tracker for a whole game. We found out why and fixed it, so Lee Sin, Viego, Wukong and friends now show up like everyone else.

• ImprovedJungler tracking now spots champions it used to miss completely, like Lee Sin, Wukong, Qiyana, Graves, Gragas, Jarvan IV, Brand and Viego. Jungler callouts and the jungler heatmap pick them up too.
• ImprovedMinimap tracking holds up better across screen sizes, minimap scales and colour settings.
• FixedAnother enemy on the map is less likely to be called out as the jungler.

Redesigned settings and a bigger app window

Settings grew with every new feature, so we rebuilt them. Everything now lives in clear categories, and the app opens at a size that fits your screen.

• NewSettings now open full screen, with Coaching, Voice & audio, Jungler, Overlay, Highlights and General in a sidebar. Every option has a short explanation next to it.
• ImprovedOpening settings mid-game no longer interrupts anything. Press Esc or Back to return right where you were.
• ImprovedThe app window now opens sized to your screen, up to Full HD.

Your free games are now full Basic games

Every coached game on the Free plan now comes with everything Basic has, so you can see the whole coach in action before deciding on a plan.

• NewFree coached games include the enemy jungler prediction map, spoken jungler callouts, matchup-aware coaching and a highlight clip of your best moment.
• ImprovedOnce this month's coached games are used, the extras switch off at the next game and come back when your games renew. No restart needed.

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.
