League of Legends Guides, Tier Lists and Strategy

Turrets are the only thing in League you have to kill to win, and they're treated as scenery. A tower is a unit with a target priority, a damage ramp, two defensive mechanics and a gold table, and all four decide how your lane should go.

Minions are the thing you interact with most in League and understand least. They arrive on a clock that changes twice, they carry a target priority list, they have two aggro ranges, and one undisturbed wave is worth more gold than almost anyone guesses.

The jungle runs on rules nobody explains. Camps have patience, they level with the lobby rather than with the jungler, and their respawn timer doesn't start when you think it does. Here's the whole system, whether or not you ever play the role.
