3 Best Ways To Get Maximum Attack Speed in LoL

The max Attack Speed in League of Legends is capped at 2.5 unit's basic attacks per second. This can be uncapped, however, with the use of particular champions and runes.

How to Get Maximum Attack Speed in League of Legends?

Getting Maximum Attack Speed in League of Legends is not that difficult to accomplish, as long as you reach late game and build the appropriate items, or play specific champions.

Use the Best Attack Speed Items and Runes

In the same vein that the most popular assassin champions build lethality, while the best burst mages build Luden's, certain fighters and marksmen rely on building Attack Speed items.

Due to the limited slots in the inventory, along with Mythic item restrictions, not all of these items can be built in one game. But a combination of 6 of them is enough to get you to maximum attack speed.

Play the Best Attack Speed Champions

Attack speed scales differently in League of Legends compared to other stats. Since all items give out percentage of Attack Speed, that percentage is calculated in relation to the base attack speed.

Note that the the attack speed gained with levels is considered bonus attack speed, so it does not factor into the calculation.

These are the best Attack Speed champions in League of Legends due to a multitude of factors. Though others exist with better base AS, these are the ones that can actually pull off a full attack speed build.

In addition to that, their kits offer some of their own attack speed bonuses, as well as the different bonuses gained at Level 18.

Play With Ornn and Lulu

One of the ways to get high attack speed as quickly as possible, is to play with Lulu. Her W, when used on allies, grants attack speed in addition to movement speed.

It's actually the only ability in the game to grant Attack Speed to allies, as other supports grant either empowered attacks or ability power.

On the other hand, Ornn is one of the best champions for late-game scaling to have on your team. This is because he can upgrade the Mythic items of his allies. In the case of Attack Speed, Ornn can upgrade Trinity Force to infinity Force, having it grant 43% Attack Speed,  granting more attack speed with no effort on your part.

How to Break Attack Speed Cap in League of Legends?

As we've previously mentioned, the Attack Speed cap in League of Legends is 2.5 attacks per second, which a unit can deal to an enemy champion or minion.

Some champions and runes in League of Legends can increase the Attack Speed cap, to 90 attacks per second. That is not counting weaving in the various abilities of course that are auto-attack resets, only flat-out auto-attacks. 

The maximum Attack Speed cap, when abilities and runes increase it, is 90.0 in League of Legends. However, due to the limits of the game itself, only 30.0 Attack Speed can be seen in practice.

This is because of the tick rate of the game, where champions are incapable of outputting more than 30 auto attacks per second, no matter what their stats say.
