eDPI in League of Legends — Does It Matter and What DPI Should You Use

League of Legends is not an FPS game, so eDPI works differently here than in CS2 or Valorant. This page explains what DPI actually affects in LoL, what the top LCK and LCS pros use in 2026 including Faker’s verified settings, and how to set up your mouse correctly for ranked play.

Does eDPI Matter in League of Legends?

In FPS games, eDPI determines how far your crosshair moves per inch of mouse movement. In League of Legends, there is no crosshair. Your mouse controls two things: clicking to move your champion, and moving the camera around the map. Neither of these requires the same precision as aiming in a shooter.

The standard eDPI formula (DPI × Sensitivity) still applies in LoL, but what it produces is less critical than in FPS games. Most LoL pros optimise their mouse settings primarily for camera movement speed and click precision on small targets like enemy champions during teamfights.

Faker’s Mouse Settings in 2026

Faker uses the Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition with the following verified settings as of May 2026:

Setting	Value
Mouse DPI	1800
Polling Rate	1000 Hz
Windows Sensitivity	6 (default)
Mouse Speed (in-game)	80
Camera MS (Mouse)	50
Auto Attack on Move	OFF

Faker’s 1800 DPI with 65 in-game sensitivity gives an eDPI of 117, which he uses specifically to enable fast camera flicking across the map while maintaining enough control for precise clicks in dense teamfights. He has used a high-sensitivity configuration throughout his entire career including his sixth World Championship title in 2025.

LoL Pro Mouse Settings 2026

Player	Team	DPI	Mouse Speed	eDPI
Faker	T1	1800	80	1440
Caps	G2 Esports	800	varies	varies
Hans Sama	varies	1400	55	770
Ruler	Gen.G	1600	50	800

Most LCK and LCS pros use between 1200 and 1800 DPI. The range is higher than FPS games because camera movement in LoL rewards speed over pinpoint precision. Hans Sama’s settings (1400 DPI, 55 in-game) were confirmed in a Twitch clip in September 2024.

What Mouse Speed (Sensitivity) Does in League of Legends

League of Legends has its own in-game Mouse Speed slider that runs from 0 to 100. This controls how quickly your camera moves when you push your cursor to the edge of the screen. It does not affect how fast your champion moves or how quickly your cursor crosses the screen — those are determined by your DPI and Windows sensitivity.

The two settings work independently:

• DPI controls cursor movement speed across your screen
• Mouse Speed (in-game) controls edge-scroll camera speed
• Camera MS (Mouse) controls camera panning speed when you hold right-click or middle-click to pan

Best DPI for League of Legends

DPI Range	Style	Notes
800 to 1200	Low to mid	More precise clicks, slower camera movement
1200 to 1800	Mid to high	Most common among LCK and LCS pros
1800 to 3500	High	Fast camera panning, used by Faker and some Korean pros
3500+	Very high	Can cause misclicks on small targets in teamfights

For most players, 1200 to 1600 DPI is the most practical range. It is fast enough for smooth camera movement without causing misclicks during dense teamfights. Faker’s 1800 DPI is on the higher end and reflects his exceptional mechanical control developed over more than a decade of professional play.

Should You Disable Mouse Acceleration in LoL

Yes. Even though LoL is not an FPS game, mouse acceleration makes your click precision inconsistent. When acceleration is enabled, moving your mouse quickly covers more distance than moving it slowly at the same physical distance. This makes it harder to reliably click on moving champions, dodge skillshots by clicking, or perform precise kiting patterns.

To disable it: Control Panel → Mouse → Pointer Options → uncheck Enhance Pointer Precision.

Camera Settings That Actually Matter More Than DPI

In League of Legends, these settings have more practical impact on gameplay than DPI:

Setting	Recommended Value	Why
Camera Lock Mode	Per-side Offset or Unlocked	Unlocked camera gives full map vision and is used by almost all high-elo players
Camera MS (Mouse)	40 to 60	Controls how fast the camera pans when you right-click drag. Faker uses 50.
Edge Scroll Speed	0 (disabled)	Most high-elo players disable edge scrolling entirely and use keyboard shortcuts instead for more reliable camera control
Mouse Speed (in-game)	50 to 80	Affects edge-scroll speed only

Why High-Elo Players Often Use Higher DPI Than FPS Players

In FPS games, high DPI makes precise crosshair placement harder. In League of Legends, the opposite is true for camera control. A higher DPI means you can pan the camera across the entire map with a small wrist movement, reducing the time it takes to check side lanes or reposition your view during fast fights. This is why Faker’s 1800 DPI looks unusual to FPS players but makes sense for a mid-laner who needs to monitor global cooldowns and position relative to the entire map in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What DPI does Faker use in League of Legends in 2026?

Faker uses 1800 DPI with 1000 Hz polling rate on the Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition as of May 2026. His in-game Mouse Speed is 80 and Camera MS is 50. This high-sensitivity setup has been central to his playstyle throughout his career and helped him win six World Championships including the 2025 title.

Does eDPI matter in League of Legends?

Less than in FPS games. Because LoL has no crosshair and no aim mechanic, eDPI primarily affects camera movement speed and click precision. The formula (DPI × Sensitivity) still applies but the optimal range is more personal preference than in CS2 or Valorant where precision requirements are much stricter.

What is the best DPI for League of Legends?

Most LCK and LCS pros use between 1200 and 1800 DPI. For the majority of players, 1200 to 1600 DPI is the most practical starting point — fast enough for smooth camera control, precise enough to click reliably on small targets during teamfights. Faker uses 1800 DPI which reflects his exceptional mechanical control rather than being the ideal setting for most players.

Should I turn off mouse acceleration for League of Legends?

Yes. Disabling Enhance Pointer Precision in Windows (Control Panel → Mouse → Pointer Options) makes your click precision consistent regardless of how fast you move your mouse. This matters most during kiting, last-hitting and clicking on moving champions in fast teamfights.

What is Camera MS in League of Legends?

Camera MS (Mouse) controls how fast the camera pans when you middle-click or right-click drag to move the camera manually. It is separate from edge-scroll speed and DPI. Faker uses 50. Most high-elo players set this between 40 and 60 — high enough for quick repositioning without the camera sliding past where you intended to look.
