Clash Lane
The Clash Lane is mainly handled by Tanks or Fighters. Because the Clash Lane is somewhat dangerous, you need to farm carefully. Defeating the mage minion in the Clash Lane early on grants a large amount of EXP. Wait for the right moment to cooperate with your Jungler or Mage and gank the enemy.
Jungle
Only Assassins or Fighters with strong roaming ability can handle this. Early on, you need to earn EXP and Gold mainly by hunting monsters. It is also the position that levels up the fastest in the early game. Once you level up, cooperate with your teammates to gank the enemy.
Mid Lane
The Mid Lane is mainly handled by Mages. The minion waves in the Mid Lane travel the shortest distance and have high physical defense, making it well-suited for Mages, who have relatively high magic damage. Mages can clear minions quickly and then roam to help teammates.
Farm Lane
The Farm Lane can be called the Marksman's home position. Since it is the safest lane, it is well-suited for farming. Early on, the mage minions in the Farm Lane provide a lot of Gold. Once you get 2–3 core items, actively go roam with your teammates and look for team fight opportunities.
Roam
Generally, a Support or Tank handles this position. Supports have a low need for Gold and are characterized by high self-defense and support ability. Buying a Roam-exclusive item means you no longer affect your teammates' EXP and Gold gains. Early on, move together with your Jungler or Marksman and support them with attacks and healing.
