How to Setup a League of Legends Bot on Your Discord Server

Setting up a League of Legends bot on your Discord server is quick and easy. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of adding, configuring, and customizing Rankup bot for your community.

What You'll Need

• A Discord server where you have "Manage Server" permissions
• A League of Legends account
• 5 minutes of your time

Step 1: Invite Rankup Bot to Your Server

The first step is adding the bot to your Discord server. Click the invite button below to get started:

Invite Rankup Bot

What happens next:

You'll be redirected to Discord's authorization page
Select the server where you want to add Rankup
Review the permissions (all are necessary for full functionality)
Click "Authorize"
Complete the CAPTCHA if prompted

Step 2: Verify Bot Installation

Once authorized, Rankup will appear in your server's member list. You should see:

✓

Rankup bot appears in member list

Look for Rankup with a "BOT" tag in your server's member list on the right side.

✓

Slash commands are available

Type /lol in any channel to see available commands.

Step 3: Link Your League of Legends Account

Before you can use any stats features, you need to link your LoL account to Discord:

/lol account add [summoner-name] [region]

Example: /lol account add Doublelift NA

Supported Regions:

• NA (North America)• EUW (EU West)• EUNE (EU Nordic & East)• KR (Korea)• BR (Brazil)• JP (Japan)• OCE (Oceania)• LAN (Latin America North)• LAS (Latin America South)• RU (Russia)• TR (Turkey)• PH (Philippines)

Step 4: Configure Rank Tracking (Optional)

To get automatic rank update notifications, set up a tracking channel:

Option 1: Create a Dedicated Channel

Create a new text channel (e.g., "lol-rank-tracking")
Navigate to that channel
Use the command: /lol tracker add

Option 2: Use an Existing Channel

Go to any existing channel where you want updates
Use the command: /lol tracker add

Pro Tip: Creating a dedicated channel keeps your server organized and makes it easy for members to check rank updates without scrolling through other conversations.

Step 5: Customize Bot Permissions (Advanced)

You can customize which channels the bot can access and which roles can use specific commands:

Restrict Bot to Specific Channels

Right-click the channel you want to restrict
Click "Edit Channel" → "Permissions"
Add Rankup bot
Set permissions to "View Channel: ✓" and "Send Messages: ✓"

Disable Commands in Specific Channels

Go to Server Settings → Integrations → Rankup
Click "Manage" next to the command you want to restrict
Add channels where the command should be disabled

Step 6: Encourage Server Members to Join

Once you've set everything up, encourage your server members to link their accounts too:

Post This Message in Your Server:

Hey everyone! 👋

We've added Rankup bot to track our League of Legends stats and ranks!

To get started, use:

/lol account add [your-summoner-name] [your-region]

Once linked, check out commands like /lol stats profile, /lol top kwikscore, and more!

Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues

Bot doesn't respond to commands

Solution: Make sure the bot has permissions to "View Channel", "Send Messages", and "Use Application Commands" in the channel where you're trying to use it.

Can't see slash commands

Solution: Wait a few minutes after inviting the bot, then refresh Discord (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R). If still not working, try kicking and re-inviting the bot.
