  • The Midlane Matchup is one that can oftentimes decide the fate of the game for the rest of the map. As a midlaner, it’s your job to set the tempo for the team and play as your team’s ace. And the truth is, you’ll need to have an ego if you want to consistently win your lane. Here’s why and how to cultivate a healthy ego.

      I mean, the logic applies to everyone except support. In fact, that logic is even more applicable to the Jungler who will almost always impact the game far more than any Midlaner could hope to dream or ADC's who know they will be more valuable than their Midlaners if they get fed and have the mentality to pair.

It’s kind of funny how you put support down but talk about uglier controlling the entire game. Support and junglers normal have the highest kp at the end of the game because they always fight and impact the map. Bloodlust isn’t a role based emotion, it’s a player itself.

    Im a mid laner myself and this is the truth, but the main thing imo is that midlaner exist to create space for carry to farm and get ahead of enemy carry. A good midlaner is when you actually do 4vs5 situation and get value out of it thats why most of mid lane heroes are really good at early-mid stage of the game but their impact fall off in late game because you cant solo kill outplay enemy heroes anymore in late game

    If we are talking about the average ranked lobby in league, the mid laner probably has the most skill just because it’s the most popular role, but jungle and support have more impact on the game. From my experience the roles with the most potential to be the deciding factor of winning or losing from greatest to least impact are jg, sup, mid, and then adc and top are kinda even (top does better in lower elo while adc does better in higher elo).

      Junglers and Pos 4 in Dota are definitely X-factors, especially the former if they can secure/steal objectives reliably.

      Junglers have priory all the time, it is acceptable for the adc to take a camp occasionally after 25+ mins (by occasionally I mean if ur split pushing top they can take krugs, which are far away and likely respawned) however mid laners taking camps is a no no, they already get loads more xp and gold way more than jg gets so it would be incredibly rude and greedy, (fuck that yone who full cleared my jungle after I stole drake)

Of course winning mid could make or break the game but i feel that there are a lot of things that are more important like a well timed pos5 ult/gank or your carry being online and i think that midlane works more as a catalist of those things than really being a difference maker most of the time.

Even if I play bad after, my confidence would be high and it was a really easy source to maintain confidence resilience. Breaking the ritual would really hit my confidence, regardless of how well I played after, so I try not to even if my friends are condescending about it bc they might be forced to wait - if only to preserve good mental.

    I usually do this for a warmup in League.
    Load a practice game with a Lux bot (Medium diff) on the enemy team. Go botlane (that's where lux will go) and just try to farm perfectly without using spells to last hit. You can't back, you can't interact with Lux, just try to dodge her spells and keep the wave in a neutral state. It might seem easy but as soon as she gets a minion or HP advantage over you she becomes extremely agressive and zones you off of creeps, so there is little room for mistake.
    Do this until 4:30 minutes (4:30 wave is the last wave you're allowed to farm). Here you have some reference points to evaluate your performance:
    -Total number of creeps including the 4:30 wave is 44. So 44 cs would he a perfect score
    -40+ is great
    -35-39 is really good
    -30-35 is okay-ish
    -25-29 is not good enough
    -Less than 25 means that you really need to work on your last hitting since in a real game you will have to balance all of that while dealing with a real oponent and trying to harass them.
    You can make it easier by allowing spells to last hit or more difficult by not buying any starter items

So since you can drag creeps hg you can nerf their harass damage by 25%. It's the same reason why Melee hero's have an inate chance to block a small portion of attack damage.

    I used to play a lot of Dota 2 in my late teens/early twenties and that last point about playing against an opponent who doesn't know what to expect of your gameplan rings extra true to me. I loved playing unlikely/weird mids with my absolute favourite being Oracle - on release nobody expected a hero considered as a hard support, to be playing mid/solo off and that's the only thing I did. I already knew how to play against most mids, while my opponents were usually dumbfounded at the aggressive playstyle and pretty much handed me kills for free by going out of position during my power spikes - if you don't know what the enemy is capable of and have no reference sheet for his scaling, you won't know how to prevent yourself getting annihilated in two seconds from an attack you should've seen coming. I don't really play Dota anymore but I revisit it occasionally and the difference between how people used to approach a support on mid back then and now is night and day. It's been years since Oracle's release, so most players understand his nuking potential and play it safe on the lane; while originally I would get dozens of opportunities for kills in an average match, later on that number steadily decreased down to about the usual for a nuker mid.
    I'm still sad they removed extra physical damage on Fate's Edict. That nerf singlehandedly killed his solo offlane potential, but at least he was still a viable (though risky) mid last I played.

      Tbh these days mid can feel like just as much of a carry role, generally not in the same way the 1 role is, but it still is. Providing heavy amounts of control and a serious amount of damage compared to a fuckton of damage and maybe 1 good utility spell - like, both are important. Sometimes the mid even does a ridiculous amount of damage lategame too, like OD/TA
      6 slotted refresher invoker is going to run over a team with the amount of control and utility he provides, puck has easy access to backline to prevent supports from actually playing the game along with serious damage to contend with as well.

    • @Acex2ron
      @Acex2ron  2 місяці тому

      Gladly!
      The assassin playstyle in this game is kind of limited to Carries instead of the Mid role. But if you like high mobility champions with huge outplay potential to be played in the midlane, I would recommend Queen of Pain or Puck. They’re more on the magical side but they play around weaving in and out of fights, and dealing big damage and just generally being a pest.

    You want some small Tips for Ori? Maybe I can help a little:
    When you are near the max range of your ball it might be better to just step over the line so it pops back to you instantly and moving it from your position instead of moving it all the way.
    You can max W first to get much better burst/short trades and Waveclear. The CD of your Q will be a bit higher but you will have quiet a lot more damage in your poke.
    Remember that your E deals damage when passing through something. So you wanna put your ball behind the enemy and recal it to deal a little more damage. Also comes in handy when clearing waves.
    The CD on your E is not that short. So remember that you can just use Q to move the ball on top of you if you wanna pick it up. That way you will still have the E to put it onto an ally.
    Oh and youir ball wont pop back to you while you are casting your are. So you can use R while for example Nocturne is flying out of range with his R and if you time it correctly the R will hit his target even if its to far away normaly. Just takes a while to get used to.
    (I didnt see you do it but if you ever consider getting Malignance dont. It procs on the first frame of Ori R so you will move the enemy out of the zone with your R)

In league I play mid when I want to have some fun but my fun gets stopped by yasuo's stupid windwall because it fucking stops everything now doesn't it? Or of course katarina or zed because isn't it fun to have a million dashes and a billion damage even when you lost your lane. Seriosuly fuck those heroes/champions.

    I am an Aurelion Main (I do play quite a few other champs, but the majority of my games is on ASol) and I recently reached Master for the first time (in flex, dont judge, I have friends). I could not play by myself though, I really need the moral support of playing with at least one friend. Even if we are both getting run over in a game, it feels much more bearable that way. Since I play a champ that scales well into the late game, my friends have accepted that them losing in the early minutes of a game is not a sign that the game itself is lost. They do joke that I often sell them out and abandon them, but it is all in jest, as they all follow the belief that I can and will find a way to claw my way up the killfeed.
    I take huge pride in the fact that my friends have enough trust in me to deal with being behind for like 30 minutes before we win on a regular basis. It is common fuel for jokes amongst us that the worse our usual top main starts into a game, the higher our chance to win is. Fun thing is, I dont have myself get camped by my premades, we just go for brawls and fights that feel right. Although one of us (not me) is the actual head of operations and calls most general shots, the more they try to force a "winning lane", the worse it usually goes for us, so we just stick to intuition and the occasional call.
    All in all, I wanna say that I am truly grateful for the faith my friends have in my abilites. I could not imagine keeping a fighting spirit up in such horrible looking games (my friends usually dont, but they play it out anyways). I think a truly good Mid Laner shines in their ability to search for opportunities to gain advantages and I would like to believe that I usually find a way to get fed, even in bad games. (my average kda on ASol is 9/3/9 lol). But there is so much more to it and I love the ways you can express your knowledge and general feel for the game. I absolutely despise all other roles (mostly because I simply perform worse there because my skill set is not suited to them), so I am glad to call mid my home.
    Thanks for listening to a crazed League player rambling.

    This is true for dota but in high elo league the midlaner is just the junglers/supports slave for the majority for the game. Playing hard scaling hypercarry mages or assasins (unless your name is akali or sylas) is basically never meta in high level league and always prefers control/utility mages. The worse midlaner can win lane and seem more useful if their jungler and support are better more often than not.
