League of Legends is a free to play team-based strategy game where two teams of five powerful champions fight each other to take down their enemy’s nexus. Pick from over 140 champions to make epic plays with your teammates, kill minions to level up, secure kills, buy items and take destroy towers as you battle your way to victory.
The Nexus is the main building of each base. The team who destroys the enemy’s nexus first wins the game.
Your team needs to clear at least one lane to get to the enemy Nexus. Blocking your path are defense structures called turrets and inhibitors. Each lane has three turrets and one inhibitor, and each Nexus is guarded by two turrets.
In between the lanes is the jungle, where neutral monsters and jungle plants reside. The two most important monsters are Baron Nashor and the Drakes. Killing these units grants unique buffs for your team and can also turn the tide of the game.
There are five positions that make up the recommended team comp for the game. Each lane lends itself to certain kinds of champions and roles—try them all or lock in to the lane that calls you.
