Objective - The objective in most League maps is to destroy the enemy team’s base (referred to as the “Nexus” in-game). Enemies - There are two main types of enemies in-game: minions, which are AI-controlled bots, and champions, which are player-controlled. There are also turrets, which auto-attack enemies, and monsters, which populate the map. Killing monsters grants your team bonuses for a small amount of time. Champions - Champions are purchased with in-game currency, but there are several free champions that new players can use each week. Lanes - Lanes are paths on maps. There are typically three lanes—top, middle, and bottom—as well as a Jungle section that fills in the space between the different lanes. Champions typically stick to one lane in the beginning of the game. XP - You earn experience (XP) from killing other champions, minions, turrets, monsters, and so on, as well as by completing in-game objectives. XP is used to level up your character’s abilities; you can level up to as high as level 18 in a game. All levels are reset once a new game starts.

A vital component of League of Legends is resource denial, which entails killing minions while preventing champions from the other team from killing your team’s minions. This will allow you to level up while they remain at a low level.

Destroying an enemy inhibitor will also prompt your inhibitors to spawn super minions, which are high-health, high-damage AI units that can distract the enemy team for quite some time.

Killing any jungle monster will reward your whole team with a buff, though the buff will vary depending on the monster. For example, killing the giant toad monster will apply poison damage to all of your teammates’ attacks for a limited time.

If you don’t have healing items, you may need to teleport back to the spawning area once you’re safe. This is typically accomplished by pressing the B key.

Keep your communications positive and clean. Negativity and bad language are generally against the League of Legends code of conduct.

There are very few points in LoL gameplay in which you’ll be the sole reason that your team won. Playing your role and sticking to your objective while everyone else does the same is the best way to ensure victory.

Since you won’t usually be able to view a champion’s stats before the match, it’s best to research the current free champions to see which class of champion you’re selecting.

Many players will call their lanes (e. g. , “top”, “mid”, “bot”) in the chat section.
