What is a lane in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
"Lane" (or "path") is a term used in multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBA), such as Dota 2 and League of Legends. A lane refers to one of several paths that run along the map and connect the bases of the two teams.
Typically, maps in MOBA games have three main lanes - top, mid, and bottom. In each lane, troops (creeps or minions) regularly spawn, and players gather experience and gold by killing these troops.
In addition to the main lanes, there are also "jungles" that run between the main lanes, where neutral monsters can be killed for additional experience and gold.
