League of Legends Lane Names Explained

Riot Games' beloved MOBA title League of Legends is home to many game modes. The most famous of these is the standard mode we know as Summoner's Rift, where we play our Ranked and Unrated matches. Let's take a look at the lane names in this game mode together.

LoL Summoner's Rift Lane Names 2022

Top Lane

Home to most tank champions, this lane sits at the top of Summoner's Rift. Many players fight over this lane, which ranks among the highest in the game in terms of damage absorbed. It's also known that many players start their journey in the game on this lane.

Jungle Lane

Junglers, who level up by killing monsters in the jungle, have often been the backbone of the game. This lane, which is home to plenty of fights with top lane, is also quite likely to clash with mid lane and bot lane. The friction with mid lane is mostly about not getting ganked, while the friction with bot lane comes from losing dragon fights, since the enemy team usually rotates down to bot lane after taking dragons.

Mid Lane

This is a lane generally played by Ability Power (AP)-based champions. It sits in the middle of Summoner's Rift. Usually, two mages face off in this lane. If a player on this lane gets ahead, they can have the capacity to carry the game single-handedly.

Bot Lane

Two players head to this lane: a marksman and a support. This might be the most important lane in the game, because most of the team's damage needs to come from here. Often, the support roams to top lane or mid lane, which frustrates their marksman. As a result, chaos takes over the game. Our advice: if you're the marksman, get along with your support, and if you're the support, get along with your marksman. Otherwise the game reaches a deadlock and ends up being lost.

The ADC (Attack Damage Carry) goes to bot lane together with the support champion. Alongside the support, they carry the team's attack damage from that lane.

What Does "Solo" Mean in LoL?

When we say "solo" on Summoner's Rift, top lane comes to mind. Top lane is usually where a champion capable of carrying on their own is picked, and later in the game this lane shoulders the team's damage load.
