league of legends: laning phase 1

So as I had touched on last week, laning phase. I'll start top lane and work my way down. Top lane is for bruisers or tanks. If you don't know what a tank is, I'll inform you but I would hope you knew. A tank is a character who soaks up damage and keeps the squishiest players alive. A bruiser is the best way to top lane because it brings damage to the team but also some decent damage absorption. The jungler is not a lane, but a lane support. The jungler is the same basic idea as top, but far more likely to be a tank. The map contains two jungles, but all the minion details will be discussed a later chapter. All you need to know is they level completely off the jungle until laning phase ends and hanks losing lanes to turn the tide of battle. A gank is when a champion comes into your lane, or several do and make the fight a 2+ vs 1 and wins the team a kill. Junglers often have a form of CC(Crowd control) to help the chances of a secured kill happening.

Middle is the Ability Power lane usually, although assassins are not only AP. For the sake of argument let's say AP are mid. This lane is the highest burst damage to enemy champions and is often a glass cannon(fragile with plenty of quick damage). This lane is also known as the game lane. Middle is a straight lane, unlike the other two, making it the fastest lane to push.

Bottom is the Attack damage carry and support lane. The ADC is SUPPOSED to be ranged and is much like the mid, but is high sustained damage and also is the main way to kill turrets or anything only affected by auto attacks. The support is self told, help the ADC get strong. They can be tanks, large cc champions, or a protective champ. like one with a heal or temporary shield. Bot can also be a kill lane, where you have a middle as your support who has a support ability. Such as nidalee who has a very high damage out put and a heal. Next week how to lane and what you should know
