LEARN THE BASICS
There's a lot to learn about League, so we'll start with the essentials.
Explore the guide below to get the rundown on the most popular game mode.
YOUR NEXUS
CLEAR THE PATH
Your team needs to clear at least one lane to get to the enemy Nexus.
Blocking your path are defense structures called turrets and inhibitors.
Each lane has three turrets and one inhibitor, and each Nexus is guarded by two turrets.
TURRETS
Turrets deal damage to enemy minions and champions, and provide limited vision
from the Fog of War for their team. Attack these structures with minions ahead
of you to avoid damage and charge ahead.
INHIBITOR
Each Inhibitor is protected by a Turret. When destroyed, super minions will
spawn in that lane for several minutes. Afterward, the Inhibitor will respawn
and Super Minions will stop spawning.
CHOOSE YOUR LANE
There are five positions that make up the recommended team comp for the game.
Each lane lends itself to certain kinds of champions and roles—try them all or
lock in to the lane that calls you.
TOP LANE
Champions in top lane are the tough solo fighters of the team.
It's their job to protect their lane and focus on the enemy
team's most powerful members.
JUNGLE
Junglers live for the hunt. Stalking between lanes with stealth and skill,
they keep a close eye on the most important neutral monsters and pounce the
moment an opponent lets their guard down.
MID LANE
Mid laners are your high burst damage champions who can do it all—solo
and as a team. For them, combat is a dangerous dance where they're always
looking for an opportunity to outplay their opponent.
BOT LANE
Bot lane champions are the dynamite of the team. As precious cargo,
they need to be protected early on before amassing enough gold and
experience to carry the team to victory.
SUPPORT
Support champions are team guardians. They help keep teammates alive and primarily
focus on setting up kills, protecting their teammate in bot lane until they become stronger.
