Welcome to Summoner's rift

The map above is the map of summoner's rift, the first, and most popular map of league of legends. There are obviously three lanes marked top, middle (mid), and bottom (bot). These three lanes are where the minions come to meet, as well as champions. The minions come out in waves and meet in the middle of these lanes. On these lanes are turrets that shoot at enemy champions that run near them, But more on that later. For now, i'm going to talk about another aspect of ranked games. Jungling.




The Jungle on summoner's rift

 The image above is the jungle map of summoner's rift along with marked turrets, nexuses, and inhibitors. The jungle in summoner's rift has 3 buffs you can get from certain monsters. The first buff is the lizard buff. You get this from the armored lizard adjacent to the wraiths and golems. The lizard buff has a chance to slow enemy champioins upon a successful auto attack. It also deals damage over time. The second buff is the blue buff. The blue buff gives the champion that holds it increased mana regeneration. It's a must have for junglers especially in the early game.
