Twisted Treeline | Types of maps League of Legends Guide

Tower	Nexus	Inhibitor	Altar	Vilemaw

Twisted Treeline is the second of the basic maps. Champions line up in two, instead of three lanes. The tempo of the game is faster than on the Summoner's Rift. The map is set horizontally, and the jungle area are much smaller than those on the previous map. The alleys are guarded by two Towers and one Inhibitor, while Nexus is protected by only one additional Turret. Both teams are made up of three champions, who, due to small size of the map, often try to ambush their opponents. There are two altars in the heart of the jungle. Those can be captured by standing on top of them. This provides useful buffs: extra gold for killing creatures or physical and magic damage. In the very centre of the jungle there is another altar with a red cross. This one regenerates a small portion of health and provides movement speed bonus. The strongest creature on Twisted Treeline is Vilemaw - an arachnid version of Baron. It resides in a separate bay in the northern part of the map. Killing it provides 194 gold and a positive aura that improves champions movement speed, health and mana/energy regeneration, and lowers cooldowns of their abilities. The game ends with destroying the enemy Nexus or one team's surrender.
