The Stop command in League of Legends cancels your champion’s current order. On the standard point-and-click setup, it is commonly bound to S, but custom keybinds and input profiles can change that. Use Stop to cancel a movement or attack order that would carry you too far; it does not dodge a skillshot for you. To evade a projectile, issue a movement command first, then use Stop only after your champion has reached a safe spot or the threat has passed.
League’s classic point-and-click controls use right-clicks to give movement and attack orders. Stop is a cancel command: it tells your champion to halt the order currently being followed. That makes it useful for correcting an overly long path, but it does not create a new path, add a dash, grant invulnerability, or make your champion untargetable.
Think of Stop as the brake after you have chosen a direction. If Lux or another champion fires a line skillshot, right-click to move out of its path. Pressing S while you are still in the projectile’s line simply leaves you stationary there. Once you have sidestepped, Stop can prevent your champion from walking farther than intended.
| Input | What it is for | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Right-click | Give a new move or target order | You need to sidestep, retreat, approach, or attack a chosen target |
| Stop (S by default in many point-and-click setups) | Cancel the active order and halt | Your current path or order is taking you too far |
| Attack Move | Move and attack according to the selected attack-move behavior | You want to kite while continuing to attack; check your target-selection settings |
| Hold Position | A separate movement action with different behavior | You need a stationary command; inspect and test its binding separately |
Stop also should not be treated as a universal spell-cancel key or animation-cancel shortcut. A champion’s dash, cast time, crowd-control effect, or other ability behavior follows its own rules. Stop cancels your current order; it does not rewrite those mechanics.
Riot’s Hotkeys (Keybindings) FAQ explains where to find keybindings and how to restore defaults. If you use the newer Keyboard (WASD) input, Riot says those hotkeys are independent from the point-and-click profile; review the active input and test it in Practice Tool using the Keyboard (WASD) Input FAQ as a reference.
A long right-click can send your champion past the safe spot you had in mind. If the opponent backs away or a threat appears, Stop can cancel the remaining order so you do not keep walking toward danger. Use a short new right-click afterward to make your next move precise. Near an unwarded brush, remember that Stop does not reveal what is inside; do not walk into fog just because you can halt at its edge.
When you move toward a low-health minion, watch the enemy champion and the wave as well as your intended target. If your approach order would carry you into a dangerous trade, Stop can cut it short. Then decide whether to right-click the minion, use an attack-move command, or give ground. Since Stop cancels the current order, do not assume it will preserve an attack command you issued earlier.
In a gank or teamfight, use right-click movement to leave the threat area and avoid skillshots. After your champion clears the danger, Stop can cancel a path that would take you beyond your turret, teammates, or intended cover. If the enemy changes angle, send a fresh movement order rather than repeatedly tapping Stop in place.
Repeat the drill with your usual champion and input setup. The goal is not to press Stop constantly; it is to recognize when the current order no longer matches the position you want.
Used deliberately, the Stop command helps you cancel bad movement orders and hold the position you chose. The movement command creates the dodge or retreat; Stop simply prevents that order from carrying you farther than you intended.
