Freeze
Keeping a minion wave stalled near your own turret to deny enemy farm safely.
Freezing is a wave-management technique where a laner deliberately avoids killing minions beyond what's needed to keep the wave stalled just outside their own turret's range, rather than letting it push forward. This denies the enemy laner safe farm — they either walk dangerously close to your turret to last-hit, or lose gold — while you stay protected. Freezing is riskier to execute in MLBB's fast, mobile lanes than in slower MOBAs, since a ganking jungler can punish a laner standing still to hold it.
