It's the way the spell is used in the game. In short, there are two way you can use a spell in the game: you can click on the spell, then click on another character. Or you can click on a spell, then click on the direction you want the spell to be used, the spell then fly in that direction, hitting first character that it hit (this type of ability is called "skillshot"). The blue character has a jumpy ability that let him jump a short distance in a direction, during the jump, it can't be hit nor targeted by any ability. The player use the jump ability to dodge the first set of spell by the enemy team, then use an item to turn yellow (which allow him to avoid the second set of abilities, while waiting for the jumping ability to be ready again). Then he jump again to avoid the enemy team's spells, while killing them with other abilities. You can see the character switching direction momentarily while running to avoid skill by the other team. The skill in that specific gif was: timing/ reaction to avoid spells with both spell usage and movement, correct sequence of spells were used (you can see the cooldown and usage of the 4 spells with their icon at the middle bottom of the screen, it wasn't bashing spells randomly). MOBA like League of Legends is the middleground First-person-shooters and full-on strategy games like Starcraft. In first person shooters, reaction time is more important, in strategy games, you don't have to deal with sub-second reaction time, but your "action throughput" needs to be much higher since there are more things to be taken care of (multitasking and metagame knowledge). League of legends requires faster reaction time than strategy game, but more multitasking than first person shooters.
