rotate

Definition

To rotate is to move from one position or area to another in response to map information. Rotation is the connective tissue of tactical-FPS play and MOBA macro: rotations happen between sites, lanes, jungle camps, and objectives. Rotation timing is a leading indicator of high-skill play because it requires reading the map and predicting opponent moves.

Example

"Mid mage rotated to bot — we just lost two." The opposing mid-laner moved to bot lane and outnumbered the lane.
