Where Miya, Layla, Bruno, and Clint last-hit before the first turret plate drops.
Turret line
Three turrets on a lane, with minions used as cover, not as a reason to walk up alone.
Ranked draft
Ban phase first, then five picks scored in stars against one matched squad.
Battle spells
Flicker, Retribution, Execute, and Purify — each one a different answer to the first gank.
Role pair
Many heroes wear two roles, and the second one decides whether they roam or take a lane.
Turtle pit
The Turtle pays gold and a shield. That gold buys items. It does not buy diamonds.
2016 cast
Tigreal, Eudora, Nana, and Zilong — the first heroes many new accounts still meet.
Mid burst
Eudora, Kagura, and Nana — the reason a mid push needs a plan, not just a skill dump.
Mythic climb
Mythic adds Honor, Glory, and Immortal on top of the seven ranks beneath them.
Amira Solano
“The turret-line study stopped our squad from copying a pretty clip that died to the first tower shot. Minions as cover finally made sense on the gold lane.”
Kenji Okada
“The Turtle card is the one I send before a ranked block. People stopped treating objective gold like lobby diamonds, and the Lord call we agreed on actually happened.”
Leah Fortin
“I used the role-pair card to explain why our Chou kept roaming. The second role was the point, not a missing emblem. That one sentence saved a week of arguing in chat.”
