The spell indicator shows the range of a champion's abilities and/or its area of effect. It is usually indicated by a blue circle around the champion or a line missile display originating from the champion. Different types of abilities have different indicators. Indicators can be seen simply by hovering over the ability or activating the ability with quick cast disabled.
The classifications for the indicators are general, and exceptions exist. Not all examples of each classification are included.
Single target indicator[]
This is the simplest indicator. It shows a circular range originating from the champion and a target as a cursor. Location-targeted spells don't require a target to be selected for them to work. These spells are usually single target nukes or chain targeted spells.
