Forces the target to perform basic attacks against the caster, disabling abilities and any other action. Used by tanks to absorb damage and peel allies (e.g. Rammus Skill 3, Galio).

Pushes or pulls enemies physically. Like knockups, the duration cannot be reduced by tenacity, and it instantly interrupts channeled abilities (e.g. Blitzcrank Skill 1, Lee Sin Ultimate).

A broad term for abilities that limit, disrupt, or completely remove an enemy's ability to move or act. This includes effects like stuns, roots, and silences.

Swapping laners (e.g. Bot duo to Mid/Top) after taking a turret or to control an upcoming major objective.

A surprise attack on an enemy champion, usually creating a numbers advantage to secure a kill. This is primarily performed by the Jungler, though other laners can also gank.

High-level strategic gameplay involving map awareness, objective control, and team rotations. It is the tactical knowledge required to win the game beyond individual champion mechanics.

Individual mechanical skill, including dodging, aiming skillshots, execution of combos, and exact positioning. It dictates how well a player handles their specific champion in combat.

Key map elements such as Dragons, the Rift Herald, Baron Nashor, and Turrets. Securing these provides substantial buffs or map control and is the primary way to win the game.

A trinket accessory used to reveal and disable enemy stealth wards and traps in a sweeping radius. It is essential for clearing enemy vision around objectives or before ganking.

The act of laners assisting the Jungler in killing their first jungle camp at the start of the game. This helps the Jungler preserve health and complete their clear faster.

Entering the enemy jungle to steal monster camps or ambush the enemy Jungler. This denies gold and experience to the opponent, setting them behind.

Harass refers to the laning phase only and can come from any range.

The act of forcing a teamfight to begin, usually by using long-range gap closers or heavy crowd control abilities. It is typically initiated by tanks or heavy crowd control supports.

The act of breaking off an enemy's attempt to engage a fight, allowing the allied team to retreat safely. It relies on abilities that slow, knock back, or trap pursuing enemies.

Executing a kill on an enemy who is under the protection of their turret, deliberately taking turret damage in the process. It requires careful coordination and minion wave management.

The exchange of damage between opposing laners. Favorable trading results in the enemy losing more health or resources, creating kill pressure or zoning opportunities.

Committing your abilities, ultimate and summoner spells to finish off the opponent. A trade swaps damage for a health or mana lead; an all-in keeps going until the kill.

Inflicting a massive amount of damage in a very short time window. It is characteristic of assassins and burst mages aiming to delete a target before they can react.

Stands for Damage Per Second, referring to a champion's ability to output a continuous, sustained stream of damage. Marksmen heavily rely on DPS through fast basic attacks.

The capability to replenish health or mana through abilities or items without needing to recall. High sustain allows champions to stay in a lane or on the map longer.

Leaving one's assigned lane to travel to other parts of the map to assist allies or set up ganks. Mid laners and supports frequently roam to impact the entire map.

Pushing too far forward in a lane or entering dangerous territory without adequate vision or backup. This positional mistake makes a player highly vulnerable to being collapsed on or ganked.

Walking directly into an unwarded brush to check if enemies are hiding there. It is a highly dangerous practice that often results in walking directly into a fatal ambush.

Landing the killing blow on an enemy minion or monster. Executing this properly is the primary method of earning gold and is fundamental to gaining a resource advantage.
