I: Champions

Lol has more than 100 champions to choose from and at times it can be overwhelming to a new player.  But don’t worry about it. It’s okay,you’re not going to know how each champion works just yet. Good news is each champion is Ability Power(Mage),Tanker,Fighter,Attack Damage Carry,supporter,Assassin.

Read down below to learn what each of these mean.Keep in mind,each champions can be more than one. Note there is a glossary at the end of this guide for acronyms.

*)Supporter(SP)

Champions whose skills are meant to directly aid the rest of the team. They can either babysit a champion to make laning easier for them by providing healing, buffing allies, applying debuffs to the enemy team, or a combination of the above. The most common ability for a support champion is providing an ally with a shield of some kind. One of the main goals of a support is to let their lane partner farm minions for gold, as supports can buy key gold+ items to get gold for themselves, as well as controlling the map with wards, warding all key areas of the map. These champions usually rely on their skills more than their auto-attack. Example of Support Champions: Janna,Thresh,Braum,Alistar,Leona

*)Ability Power ( Mage)(AP)

Champions with powerful magic damage skills, Some are meant to deal a high amount of damage in a short period of time(burst casters/burst mages) while others usually deal damage over time. Like carry champions, they can bring their team to victory due to their ability power .Example of Mage Champions   Lux, Syndra, Kata, Brand, Kennen,…

*)Attack Damage Carry (ADC):

A carry is champion who is weak in the begging,but can become really strong towards the end. I personally play as a carry. A carry is suppose to ‘carry’ you to victory. These champions are usually high team DPS with a high amount of maneuverability / escaping ability, making it easier to get very positive kill/death ratios. You have to make sure you build your carry right for him/her to be strong just like you would any other champion. Examples of a carry are: Vayne,Lucian,Jhin,Sivir,Ezreal,….

*)Fighter

Champions that blend the attributes of a damager and tank, combining moderate to heavy survivability with the damage of an assassin or carry. These Just like any other champion they can get really strong if fed a lot. An example of a fighter are: Jax, Irelia,Wukong,Fiora,Master Yi,….

*)Assassin: ( AP+AD Assassin)

Champion who specializes in killing one champion as fast as possible. It is quoted that these champions go after the the enemy’s AD/AP Carry or any other “squishy” champion. These champions are usually strong and can be tough to kill if they are fed. An example of champions who are a assassin are: Zed,Talon, Leblance, Fizz, Rengar, Khazix, Leesin(Sometime), Ahri,…

*) Tanker

Champion who have high HP, Armor like the Guardian of the team .  An example of champions who are a tanker are: Alistar, Poppy, Braum, Maokai,  Sejuani,Gragas,….

*) Jungle

A jungler is someone who goes around in the jungle killing the monsters. Junglers can help out other fellow team mates such as ganking or is simple terms making it unfair fight. Like 1v2 is an example of ganking and what a jungler can do.Example of a jungler champions are: Leesin, Elise,Gragas,Kindred,.

II: Champion Roles

Now that we’ve learned what category each champion falls under next you have to learned where each champion goes and what they do on the battle field. Down below is a map of Summoner’s Rift. The red arrows are to show you the lanes and of course the black text shows you what lane it is,lastly the blue and purple lines shows where each teams jungler will go. So who is suppose to go where? This is actually really simple.


Bottom Lane: Usually,an AD carry goes bottom lane with  supporter(Tanker or Mage can help ADC)

Middle Lane: AP carry( Mage) or Assassin or ADC( Meta SS6)

Top Lane: Tanker, Fighter , Assassin or Mage( Sometime)

Jungle:Your jungler is going to all over the jungle. Those blue and purple lines mean where your jungler is going to travel and the purple teams jungler is gonna travel. Sometimes your jungler and the enemy jungler are gonna duke it out in the jungle.
Not everyone follows these ‘rules’,so always be best prepared if you have the enemy switches it up. Please note the colors on the map represent the team colors.
