ADC chat, explained

The bottom lane, where the ADC and support play together. The only two-player lane.

The set of items a champion assembles, and the verb for choosing them.

Attack damage carry: the ranged champion on the bottom lane who deals sustained damage.

Creep score: how many minions and monsters you have killed. The main source of gold in the game.

Champion level. Almost always followed by a number marking a power spike.

Please. Turns any order into a request, which is the difference between being listened to and being ignored.

Killing the minion wave fast so it advances towards the enemy tower. The opposite of freezing.

Leaving your lane to create pressure elsewhere on the map.

Attacking an enemy under their own tower, taking the tower shots to get the kill.

The summoner spell that blinks you a short distance. The single most important cooldown to track in a game.

A surprise attack on an enemy lane, usually by the jungler, to create a numbers advantage.

One of the three paths minions walk down, and the phase of the game spent on it. A side lane is top or bot.

Helping the jungler kill their first camp at the start of the game, so they finish it faster and healthier.

Protecting a teammate by pushing away or disabling the enemies attacking them.

Avoiding all avoidable risk: farming, holding position, refusing fights you do not need.

Sorry. The three-letter version, typed when there is no time for the whole word.

The support: the player who protects the ADC and controls vision.

The ultimate ability, bound to R and unlocked at level six for almost every champion. The spell that decides most fights.
