LoL revolves around five roles — top, jungle, mid, bot and support — with each lane contributing to map control and objective pressure. The meta changes with patches but fundamentals persist: wave control, vision and team coordination.

Roles & Laning

Top laners often play tanks or split‑push threats. Junglers control tempo by ganking and securing objectives. Mid laners provide burst or control. Bot lane is a marksman supported by an enchanter or engager. Supports place wards, peel and engage. Winning lanes via farm and pressure translates to early objectives.

Macro & Objectives

Push waves before contesting dragons and Heralds. Secure vision and plan rotations to take towers. Tower plating, dragon stacking and Rift Herald give snowball advantages. Team fights hinge on proper engage and focus.

Climbing

Beginners should stick to one role and a few champions. Learn wave management, vision placement and power spikes. Intermediate players should practise objective timing and mid‑game rotations. Advanced players refine draft flexibility, flanking and shot calling.
