Name of the Lanes


Each lane has its own name, and they are frequently used in the in-game chat.

It is very inefficient for classes with low attack damage such as mages to jungle in the early game. Unless jungling is necessary, head towards a recommended lane and kill the minions for gold and experience.

What to Do in Lanes

Killing minions and preventing the opponent from attacking the tower is any class’s first priority. After killing the minions, look at the map to see if there’s a need to help other lanes. Especially during the early games, opponents will not be able to push up to the tower without minions. This means that there’s free time in between minion waves. Though not necessary, make use of this free time by helping out teammates or by killing the monsters in the jungle.
