Automation

Everything on the Automation page is off until you turn it on. Each item's Modes decide where it acts: Ranked, Normal, ARAM, Hextech ARAM, Arena and other modes. Only the modes an item can act in are offered: the two ARAMs have no pick or ban phase, and only they have a bench.

By mode at the top shows only what one mode can use and says in a sentence what will happen there. The automation switches on the overview list their modes too.

Match found

• Auto-accept matches: accepts the match for you. Wait before accepting leaves a few seconds in which you can still decline yourself.

Champion pick and ban

• Auto-pick a champion: on your turn, picks the first champion in the Champion order that can be picked. The order has an "Any" list and one per position; with a position assigned, its own list comes first, then "Any". Banned champions, locked ones, the ones a teammate picked or showed, and champions you do not own are skipped. A champion you hovered yourself is the one used.
• Pick mode: Lock in locks the pick; Hover only puts the champion up once and leaves the rest to you.
• Show an intent while planning: shows your pick to the team during the planning phase.
• Auto-ban a champion: on your ban turn, bans the first champion on the ban list that can be banned; a champion a teammate picked or showed is never banned. A champion you chose to ban yourself is the one banned.

Runes and summoner spells

• Set up runes and summoner spells: once your champion is locked in, sets up the runes and summoner spells you last played it with in this mode. The two ARAMs have no lock-in, so it happens each time your champion changes (a bench swap, a reroll). Each champion is set up once per champ select, so a change you make afterwards stands; a champion swapped away and back is set up again. Arena has no rune page and gives everyone the same spells, so it is not one of the modes.
• What is remembered: when a game starts, the rune page and the two summoner spells you go in with, per champion and mode, Ranked and Normal apart, even if you changed nothing. They stay on this computer.
• Use the client's recommendation (on by default): with nothing remembered for the champion in this mode, uses the client's own recommended page and spells, for your assigned position on the Rift and for no position in the ARAMs.
• The rune page: winer uses one page, named after the champion ("winer · Jhin" for Jhin), and rewrites it each time. Without one it creates it while there is room; without room it only writes over the temporary page the client made for the champion in hand, never one of your own pages. Where neither can take it, the spells are still set and the activity feed says why the runes were not.
• Spells: a spell you already hold stays on its key: Flash on F stays on F.
• N remembered and Forget them: how many setups are remembered, and forgetting them all.

Each setup is noted in Activity on the overview, for example "Set up the remembered runes and summoner spells for Jhin"; a failure says why. Nothing is posted to chat.

Item sets

• Write item sets (experimental): once your champion is locked in, writes the items of the build as the champion's item set: starting items, boots, core items and late options, each named with the source and patch. Off by default and not recommended yet, still an experiment: a set written in champ select is in that game's shop, one written after the game started only from the next game.
• A champion keeps one of winer's item sets per map, named after the champion: Ranked and Normal share Summoner's Rift and the two ARAMs the Howling Abyss. Your own item sets stay as they are.
• Needs Builds on in Settings › General.
• Remove winer's item sets: removes every item set winer wrote, and only those.

Callout

• Send in champ select automatically: sends the callout from the game analysis once every teammate's history has loaded.
• Send to: the team chat, or only you.
• Include myself: whether your own line is in it.
• Callout style: Rich (the default) puts the tier's emoji first (👑 for the best tier, 💀 for the worst) and adds the title and the quip; Compact gives each player one short line, seat, tier, win rate, KDA, form and name in the same order, to compare at a glance. Emoji show in the client's chat only; lines typed in a game have none.
• Rating scheme: the tier names come from Settings › Rating; Open settings goes there.
• Opening line and Line template: the first line is always the side and "winer rating", and the opening line follows them (left blank, nothing does). The template takes these placeholders: {emoji} the tier's emoji, {standing} the tier, {seat} the place in your team's list in champ select (P1 to P5, from the top), {name}, {champion}, {games}, {winRate}, {kda}, {score} the recent-form score, {title} and {quip}. Blank uses the chosen style's default, which names the seat and the player rather than a champion that can still change; a live preview shows the result. In Chinese the opening line and the names go in 【】, so that the client's chat filter does not read a tier and a name as one word (see How rating works); a hidden name drops its brackets too.
• Shortcut to send the callout: none by default. Once set, pressing it in champ select posts the callout to the team chat, as Send to team on the Live game page does; in a game, with In-game sending on, it types the in-game lines chosen below into the game's team chat. It works while winer's window is hidden, and what it did is noted in Activity on the overview. It is set the way the shortcut that brings up winer is (see Settings), and the two cannot share a combination.

Lines in game

The game's own chat has no API in the client, so the only way in is to type like a player. With In-game sending on (it is off by default), pressing the callout's shortcut in a game makes winer type on the keyboard's behalf: Enter opens the team chat, a line goes in, Enter sends it, line by line, and a line too long for one message goes out as several.

• It types only while the game's window is already in front; winer never brings the game there. The moment the game's window leaves the foreground, typing stops, and a half-typed line stays in the game's chat box unsent.
• It waits for every key to come up first: Enter with Shift held opens the chat to everyone, and a key held down repeats into the line.
• Close the chat box before pressing the shortcut: with it open, the first Enter sends whatever it already holds.
• Typing takes a few seconds, and keys you press meanwhile end up in the line being typed.
• When the game runs as administrator, winer has to as well to type into it: Windows does not let a program send key presses to a window with more rights than its own. When the client runs as administrator, winer asks to restart that way as it connects anyway.
• Key presses another program sends to the game are third-party input and may break the game's terms of service; you use it at your own risk.

Whose lines to type decides what one press types:

• Enemies (the default): the enemy to watch and the one to go after, three lines at most. Your teammates heard about themselves in champ select, and every line typed is one more you wait through.
• My team: one line per teammate, best first, as in champ select; Include myself applies here too.
• Both: the enemy lines, then your team's.

Each line typed holds your keyboard for about a second, so one press types six lines at most: your team's first line and five teammates fit exactly; with Both, the teammates that do not fit (the lowest tiers) are left out.

The two enemies are chosen this way:

• Enemy to watch: the best rated of the enemies above the middle of the scheme.
• Enemy to go after: the worst rated of the enemies below it.

A scheme that ranks the team splits around its middle tier: in Rift five the first two tiers are above the middle and the last two below; for Rift grades, B and C are the middle. Without such an enemy the line is left out, and with neither the enemy lines say nothing. Players whose history is hidden, did not load or holds no games take no part. Modes without sides, such as Arena, have no in-game lines.

In the game the champions are settled and are how players tell each other apart, so the defaults name the champion alone (in 【】 in Chinese), without name or seat; where the champion is not known, the name stands in. All three lines can be rewritten (Enemy to watch, Enemy to go after and Each teammate) with the template's placeholders; {champion} is the champion the player plays and {seat} their place in their team's list. With Both, one press types, for example:

[Enemy · Red side] winer rating
Watch Kha'Zix: Rift Demigod, 65% in 20 games, KDA 4.6
Go after Yasuo: Pure Workhorse, 35% in 20 games
[My team · Blue side] winer rating
Rift Demigod: Ahri, 60% in 20 games, KDA 4.1, form 7.4 [Patch Champion], the other team is filing a boosting report
Human Turret: Lee Sin, 55% in 20 games, KDA 3.6, form 6.8 [Reliable Teammate], absurdly steady: carries and survives

In the compact style a teammate's line reads "Human Turret [Lee Sin] | 55% | KDA 3.6 | form 6.8".

A live preview shows what one press types, with your own recent form.

After the game

• Return to the lobby: goes back to the lobby when the game ends, ready to queue again.

Bench

• Take wishlist champions: in ARAM and Hextech ARAM, takes a bench champion that ranks above the one you hold on the wishlist, at once and without the cooldown. The Wishlist holds up to 20 champions, the earlier the better; while you hold a champion that is not on it, any wishlist champion is better.
