Hi guys...

I just needed to know the following terms in Chinese if anyone could tell me them, or if their items, just give me the names that casters could frequently refer to them as. I need to know terms for both Mainland China and Taiwan.

And while I could use their proper names, it would probably be best for me to just use their colloquial names to keep from sounding like a total idiot.

Gank [this is obviously the most difficult one to translate] -
AP Carry -
Ranged AD -
AD Carry -
Jungler [another difficult one] -
Deathcap -
Bloodthirster -
Infinity Edge -
Vampiric Scepter -
Shard of True Ice -
Frozen Mallet -
Phantom Dancer -
Rod of Ages -
Twin Shadows -
Shurelyas Reverie -
Frozen Heart -

"Carry"
Support
"pick up" as in "picks up the kill."

That's all I can think of for now...

AP Carry/AD Carry/Carry are just said in English. Probably because the term "Carry" was just directly inherited from English for Dota terminology and it carried over into LoL.

Do you want the actual Chinese or just the romanization just for listening purposes?

You might already know most of the stuff in that thread but I think it could be useful for anyone else who wants to learn some Chinese LoL terms.

Some I'll have to look up because I don't remember off the top of my head and don't play on the Chinese client. A couple to get you started (hopefully someone else can help fill in):

Jungle/Jungler - 打野
Deathcap - 帽子 (there's probably a real name for it, but everyone just calls it "hat" lol)
Bloodthirster - 饮血剑
IE - 无尽
Vampiric Scepter - 吸血 (actually called 吸血鬼杖 or something, but that's too long)
Shard - no idea, lol
Frozen Mallet - 大冰锤 (again, probably there's a real name for this, but it's just what I've heard it called)
Phantom Dancer - lots of names for this one, 红叉 and 红双刀 are common
Rod of Ages - don't remember
Twin Shadows - 双生暗影
Shurelya - don't remember
Frozen Heart - 冰心
Support - 辅助

EDIT: ninjaed, lol

This isn't quite right, because 输出 is more "damage" or "DPS", than carry in most contexts.

核心 would probably the translation most appropriate (most commentators don't have a problem just using the word "carry"), but it's less appropriate for LoL than DotA because "carry" in LoL has somewhat different implications than the term in DotA.

i know ADC means attack damage carry, the role is to output tons of dmg. that's why casters use word '输出'.
but usually they dont call APC 输出.. usually its call 法师, or ap


if you want to include 核心, you may say 核心输出

It's actually kind of funny, I have a reputation in Taiwan... Sort of. But 繁體字 is not a problem.

Something that's amusing, the Chinese LoL site has MF's name as "厄运小姐" which actually translates more appropriately as "Miss Misfortune".

Commentators seem to have picked up on the mistranslation, as the G-League commentators all referred to MF as 好运姐.
