-[[Laning]] is a way of restricting [[Movement]] in games, especially in the designs of [[Levels]], which primarily tends to affect a game's [[Startgame]]. The typical use of [[Laning]] assumes movement from both direction from opposed forces which, with [[:Category:Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games|MOBA Games]] as the originating example, which modifies how [[Enemies]] need to be considered and may motivate the use of [[Scouting]]. Designing for [[Laning]] in a game consists of making several routes to one area, in practice by either making several routes that are [[Transport Routes]] between the same areas or making several routes that are [[Flanking Routes]] to each other. The design of [[Laning]] is heavily influenced by the presence of [[Bases]] at the begin and end of lanes as well as if the lanes are the only ways to move between them (i.e. the design can be influenced by [[Inaccessible Areas]]).

 While [[Laning]] can be considered without use of [[Units]], the pattern is very often used to not only provide various routes for the [[Avatars]] controlled by players but also for [[Units]] (under the players' control or not). Likewise, the lanes may the only or normal routes to use for some game elements (typically [[Units]]) while others (typically [[Avatars]]) may take other routes although these may be slower or contain challenges.
