League of Legends: The Laning

Alright I am gonna expand to simplify. Every lane has creeps, the jungle has creeps, everyone except the support hits minions to get farm and gold. Getting "fed" is  term for if you get a large amount of gold before other players, like if you have several kills, or 220+ creep kills. So first two minutes of the game are the only thing to know before laning phase. You spawn in shop at the game start, buy your items, and depending on if your jungler needs red or blue buff, or you are purple or blue team, or if your jungler needs a leash, you will probably leash. A leash is when you help the jungler level 1 kill one of the two jungle buffs. If a jungler needs a leash, please leash. So after leash, or if you didn't leash, from here it is the same. You go into lane and try to last hit as many minions as possible, and get kills where you can. Warding your lane is important because if you have no wards, you have a very pathetic life (no offense). The jungler can gank you if you have no vision of the area they are coming from. I am not saying they can't gank you no matter what, but if you are watching your map, the chances of you dying from the gank are close to none.

ADC is the only role in the game that doesn't buy ANY wards, because that is almost all the support is for during laning. So from lane we go to the turrets. Turrets are set up so you must kill each one in that lane to advance to the next. They have a system for targeting, and this is priority. first an enemy champion hitting the turrets ally champion, then any player created units (Several champions have abilities to spawn small units such as Elise's spider-lings). From there it goes to siege minions, then normal minions. A nice thing to note is that they turret only changes targets to an enemy champion, and no other priority(If the turret is killing a minion and you spawn a unit, the turret won't change to your unit until the current target dies, only if you try to kill another champion under their turret will it switch instantly to damage you).

So with the minions you push a lane to the turret and try to kill all the turrets in the lane to get to the inhibitor which can't damage anything. And ultimately after that the nexus, also can't damage anything. While laning, if your opponent is gone for an extended time, you should help your team and call a M.I.A. to help your team know they might be ganked by more then a jungler.

To summarize, go into lane, kill minions, kill turrets, kill enemy champions, don't be stupid,ward and don't die. Next week I will begin the descent into the Summoner Rift item list, the long list. Any questions on laning feel free to ask, and keep reading!
