Jungle
The area between lanes with monster camps, buffs, Turtle, and Lord.
The jungle is the space between the three lanes containing farmable monster camps — buff monsters, the river crab camp, Turtle, and Lord — contested primarily by the jungler and roamer. Buff camps respawn roughly every 90 seconds and grant either cooldown/mana (purple buff) or bonus attack and slow (red buff) to whoever secures them. Control of the jungle translates directly into gold, levels, and objective priority, which is why junglers path camps in an efficient clear order rather than farming randomly.
