There are so many midlane champions that get seriously behind the entire match if they lose lane

Orianna if she's behind, the only thing she can give to her team is a brief displacement to some of the enemies (ult) on a ridiculous cooldown

Anivia if she's behind, all she can do is give her team a wall that could potentially hurt the team more than it helps

Leblanc legit gives nothing besides a root that she will put herself in danger to apply

Katarina gives absolutely nothing to her team except deaths

The list goes on for them. MEANWHILE...

Yasuo no matter how behind he is, he carries his team completely after getting two items, is nearly impossible to kill, can lock down an enemy for multiple seconds, and can literally block damage for his team for 5 seconds.

Enough said.

No, if you are an actual mid lane main, you would know that you could just waveclear and try to make a play happen by roaming.

BUT, NOOOOOOOO, I MUST MILK THESE UPVOTES. LOOK DAD, I JUST GOT 4444 UPVOTES BY JUST MENTIONING THE NAME YASUO

This post was downvoted, you dickhead. You're the one trying to farm upvotes here by finding a post that was downvoted and making an argument against it.

"Yasuo is better when behind than Anivia and Orianna, two utility/control mages." LOL, get a load of this guy.

Orianna has many supportive properties that allow you to change build and playstyle. A losing orianna can use a build like Morello, Boots of lucidity, rylai's scepter, and void staff to help her team get back in the game. The cdr gives her more shields and ults while the Rylais gives a low cool down slow on her q in addition to her w and ult. She's one of the few mages who can default to being a support when she loses lane.

Anivia can stall with wave clear on her ult, and her stun can save a bad tower siege.

The others are just damage dealers. shrug If they aren't dealing damage they are useless. Im sure a good Yasuo can make clutch wind walls and knockups, but if you get stomped in lane you probably aren't a good yasuo, lol.

First of all, the crit damage on Anivia's E makes her impossible to be behind. Period. Second, you're telling me a champ like Ori that can endlessly wave clear and has AoE CC is "seriously" behind? Do you even play mid lane? Not to mention I'm not even sure how you get behind as Ori since you just wave clear all day, but that's a different story.

No, you don't waveclear all day as Ori.

Ori has a ridiculously slow auto attack which makes waveclear impossible If you want to use abilities then have fun wasting 200+ mana with a QWE combo

Wrong.

A behind Kata still has very good damage and can 100-0.

However, if they got behind, they probably aren't very good at Kata, and thus are probably not gonna be able to pull off a 100-0.

Due to orianna's utility alone she never falls behind.

Anivia has cc and her E will do damage to chilled targets even if she's 1/9

Leblanc with only a item 3146 can still 100-0 the adc tbh

Every other midlaner usually has waveclear and can prevent the enemy team from taking towers.
