Summoner spell

For champion abilities, see champion ability.

Summoner spells are abilities that players can use for their champions on the Fields of Justice.

They are chosen in Champion Select before the start of the game. Each player is allowed two summoner spells chosen from a list. Summoner spells can be used in game to aid a player's champion in various ways as each spell has a unique effect. Some summoner spells increase in effectiveness relative to your champion's level, but some provide the same effect at champion level 1 as they do at champion level 18. They do not have any cost other than their cooldown.

All summoner spells, excluding Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash, can be used while under the effects of crowd control that inhibit casting, with the exceptions of stasis and suppression. The aforementioned summoner spells are also disabled while grounded or rooted, as they cause the caster to move.

Available summoner spells

A summoner spell's availability is based on the player's summoner level. At summoner level one, a player begins with 2 summoner spells to choose from. Then as a summoner reaches new levels, they unlock new summoner spells, up to summoner level 9.

Reducing the cooldown

There are three ways to reduce the cooldown of summoner spells.

• Howling Abyss aura

The 15 second cooldown of Smite is not affected by summoner spell cooldown reduction, but the rate at which Smite charges are generated is affected.

Trivia

• For the first 15 seconds of a game on Summoner's Rift all summoner spells are disabled.
• In-game Summoner Spell icon tooltips always show the true cooldown, after rune and item bonuses. Cooldown display may take a few seconds to update after items have been acquired or sold.^{[may need confirmation for enemy summoner spells]}
• Spells are map-specific. For example, if you play ARAM on Summoner's Rift, the available spells are Summoner's Rift spells.
• Legend of the Poro King (Howling Abyss), Odyssey: Extraction (Crash Site) and Nexus Siege (Summoner's Rift) use or did use game mode specific summoner spells.
• A few summoner spells originated as alpha items, such as Teleport having roots in the items Ancient Pocket Watch and Scroll of Teleportation.
  • This may be a borrowed gameplay design choice from DotA where powerful gameplay effects similar to summoner spells were accessible to players through items.
