Changelog

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.
