Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Scout check for new matches?

Scout automatically checks for new matches every minute. When a tracked player starts a match, you'll get a notification within 1-2 minutes.

What types of matches are tracked?

Scout tracks all ranked and normal games on Summoner's Rift, ARAM, and other matchmade queues. Custom games, practice tool, and tutorial matches are not tracked.

Can I track players from different regions in the same server?

Yes! You can subscribe to players from any supported League of Legends region. Just make sure to specify the correct region when subscribing.

How many players can I track?

There's no hard limit on the number of players you can track, but we recommend keeping it reasonable to avoid channel spam.

Why am I not getting post-match reports?

Post-match reports are generated after games end. Very short games (usually under 5 minutes) or remakes might not generate reports. The reports typically appear 2-5 minutes after a match ends.

Is my data safe?

Scout only stores the minimum data necessary to provide notifications: Riot IDs, aliases, and Discord channel information. We don't store personal information or match history beyond what's needed for reports.
