Explore championsFrequently Asked Questions
What is Baron Buff?
Baron Buff is a free League of Legends coach that helps you make better decisions in real games. It guides you through champion select with live recommendations and clear reasoning, then gives matchup-specific pre-match direction once the game loads — so you learn by playing, not by reading lectures.
Is Baron Buff free?
The draft tool is free — open it, connect your client, and start drafting with guidance. For a deeper coaching experience, there's a paid tier with advanced AI that helps you improve from draft through live in-game tips and post-game analysis.
Will I get banned for using Baron Buff?
No. Baron Buff is read-only. It doesn't touch game files, inject code, or automate anything. It just reads your draft from the League client and tells you what it sees. We follow Riot's developer policies. Riot is always the final authority on what's allowed.
How does it work during champion select?
The Connector detects champion select, reads the live draft state, and updates recommendations as picks and bans happen. You'll see counter options, team fit signals, and composition notes in real time — with the "why," not just a list.
Does Baron Buff work on Mac?
The live draft experience requires the Windows Connector. You can still use baronbuff.com on any device for manual draft analysis — but live, automatic champion select tracking needs Windows.
What are pre-match tips?
They're game-specific coaching for what to do next: lane plan, trade patterns, roam/tempo priorities, teamfight approach, win conditions, and which enemies you must respect — all based on both comps and your matchup.
How are the champion bans and picks recommendations defined?
We use Riot's official APIs to train our proprietary machine learning model on millions of matches across every ranked tier and region. The model learns how much each parameter — counter matchups, team synergies, current meta strength, composition fit, and more — actually affects win probability, so pick and ban recommendations are driven by measured impact rather than opinion.
Is the Baron Buff Connector safe to install?
Yes. It ships through the Microsoft Store with a Microsoft-signed binary. It doesn't sit in your tray or run background services. When you close it, it's gone.
How do I make it work on mobile?
Use the Windows Connector as usual. When you enter champion select, click the Mobile Link icon (top right) and scan the QR code with your phone. It opens the AI Coach in your mobile browser and mirrors the same live draft experience in real time — no app install needed.
How do I learn more in between games?
Use the Champions section: draft notes, matchup ideas, and pre-match plans generated by the AI Coach — so you can study a champion at your own pace and bring a clearer plan into your next queue.
