Map

One nexus is located in each enemy base on opposite sides of the map, in the lower-left and upper-right hand corners. These structures continually create weak non-player characters known as minions, which advance toward the enemy base along three lanes: top, middle (mid), and bottom (bot) lanes. Players compete to advance these waves of minions into the enemy base, which allows them to destroy enemy structures and ultimately win the match. Between lanes are neutral areas of the map known as the ‘jungle’, arrayed in four quadrants. Uniquely dangerous monsters populate the jungle and grant bonuses to their killer. The jungle is also home to three types of plants that can aid champions in different ways. A shallow river divides the map between the teams, but doesn’t actually impede movement; all champions can wade through it no differently than dry land.
