The minimap in League of Legends is one of the most important tools in the game. It gives an abundance of information about the enemy’s position on the map, where your vision lines are, and what objectives are coming up next.
But some players don’t use the minimap to its full effect. Low-ranked players are notorious for ignoring it, while on some monitors, the full scale of the minimap is much too small when compared to the rest of the game. Thankfully, there’s a way to fix this and increase the size of the minimap to above 100 percent scale.
How to expand minimap past 100 percent
According to Riot Support, you can alter the in-game file where settings are stored to get your minimap beyond 100 percent. First of all, jump into the drive where your League client is installed. From there, dive into the Config folder, and edit the MinimapScale value in your PersistedSettings.json file.Â
The MinimapScale value should be between zero and one. You can increase it as much as you want, with a value of two giving you 200 percent minimap scale in game, five giving you 500 percent, and so on. Be sure to save the file and load into Practice Tool to make sure it’s all working as intended, and you can go on your way.
- Head to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config\PersistedSettings via your drive
- Change the value for “MinimapScale”
- Two = 200 percent minimap scale, five = 500 percent miniscape scale, etc.
So, if you are struggling to see your minimap, or need it to take up more room on your screen, feel free to edit your config files manually to get the perfect size.
