The 5 Major Positions of a Team in Summoner's Rift

   

This video is about the remarkable game of FNC vs EG.

    In summoner's rift, a 5 vs 5 map in League of Legends, each player have a unique position in his/her team. They are Attack Damage Carry (ADC), Ability Power Carry (APC), Support (SUP), Jungler (JG) and Tank. These five positions are changeable and concurrentable, for instance there is a team with two APCs and no Tank, but in every game you can usually find them because the distribution of positions has been accepted and trusted for a long time.

Attack Damage Carry (ADC)

     ADC is the most important position in a team because he/she is responsible for damage output of the whole team by normal attack. As a result, ADC must have high attack damage and attack speed.

Ability Power Carry (APC)

    APC is a position which needs to become wealthy the soonest because he/she is responsible for instantly killing enemies by spells, especially the enemy's ADC. Therefore, APC needs high ability power and short cooldown.

Support (SUP)

    Support is such a busy position that it is not easy to be skillful. His/Her jobs are keeping ADC's life, making ADC get wealthy more quickly, bothering enemy's ADC and SUP, expanding the team's visible area, and so on. Some support champions even have Crowd Control (CC) ability to handicap the enemy.

Jungler (JG)

    Jungler should kill neutral monsters to get the gold. What's more important, he/she have to help the allies by ganking (gang killing) the enemy on the three lanes. Ganking can enhance the economic strength of allies and bring up the superiority, approaching the victory of the game. To gank enemies, JG usually has some CC or Sudden-Sprint abilities.

Tank

    As mentioned literally, Tank's job is absorbing damage from the enemy during pitched battles in order to make allies escape from death. To sustain the enemy's damage as long as possible, Tank needs high armor, magic resist and health.
