LoL players can’t believe you’re still doing this out-of-date strategy in 2025

Many strategies in League of Legends have changed over the years due to Riot’s constant updates. One strategy, however, is still prevalent today, and players can’t figure out why it is still a thing in 2025.

In the early years of League, it was customary for the top or bottom lane to leash the jungler. This was to help the jungler take the buff quicker and keep them healthy so they could move on to their other camps quicker. Certain junglers needed the leash if they were in a relatively difficult matchup and needed to get out to the rest of the map quicker to avoid falling behind. And while Riot has made level-one clearing much easier, players still demand leashes in 2025.
