Ask yourself if you bought the right boots (was it a Ninja Tabi or Mercury Treads kind of game?) Did you buy Randuin’s Omen against heavy critical strike damage? Take note of your creep-score and your champion level. The scoreboard is a good place to check your build for errors and take in both champion selections. Once you have selected a game to study from your match history, check out the post-game analytics: scoreboard, overview, stats, and graphs. Highlighted in the white box, these buttons will prepare your replay for viewing. You can pick a game you won or a game you lost, but it doesn’t matter because you can find mistakes in even your best games. The first step of the replay analysis process should be to refresh yourself: survey your last few games from the match history screen, and pick a game to focus on. Let’s pretend you have taken a couple days off from League and your memory of your last League session is a little hazy.

You learn more about your own shortcomings (and strengths) if you spend a few minutes studying a completed game. Spamming more games isn’t always the best way to improve as a player. Now that Riot has added a replay feature to their client, all you have to do is click a button. A common piece of advice given to players who want to get better is to “watch replays of their games.” In previous versions of League of Legends, there was no easy way to do this.
