When everyone on your team picks a damage dealer what do as mid?

AMADEUSdotEXE··2 votes·1,778 views

If I'm last pick or if I've already chosen. I generally choose cassioepiea because of the whole hyper carry thing, but I dont like galio in a team of damage dealers because he can't "really" engage... He's basically the only tanky option aside from gragas whom i havent played in like 4 years. What do? Yes this is freaking bronze i hate it too, noone above silver would build a team consisting of teemo,vayne,riven (probably going to be toxic or feed), kaisa jg, and fill in the blank.

Yes they would, that problem is in gold as well. Play what your comfortable with or dodge queue. if your team is mostly ranged, probably stick to a ranged poke like champ. also you can try to just wave clear with someone like Anivia till late game.

Not everyone has the spare lp to dodge, let alone leaver buster stacks...

Karma can... engage...? Mate di you read the post?? And hasnt karma mid been meh since like season 4 except in specific matchups? Not positive on that one. Lulu mid i guess but you fall off so hard late game you're team ends up with two support champions. Im a bad oriana i admit that.

Yes they would, quit worrying about it. You can win with almost no affect on your winrate with literally ANY pick you like, clear up to diamond, with no matter what composition on your team, if you are good. Just play what you are good at. Picks only start to matter maybe Masters+, unless you suck to such an extent, that the 1% increased winrate from a good composition in silver is the only contribution you can offer to help your team win.

I'll put it this way, The champions that I am good at (I dont think anyone can carry an entire game when the entire enemy team is fed) aren't excactly at their strongest right now. Kat got fisted, and Cassiopeia's kinda been in the same spot for a while. Also this is bronze man you know there are a lot of questionable plays (myself incuded) even for people of our skill level (like chasing when half your team is pinging that the enemy has vision/mia...)

Not rally sure about Illaoi and Zoe. But I can't iagine a good zoe solo carrying an entire game being mainly single target burst

You dont always need a tank....seen many squish comps win before.

People just like to follow a meta and think there is only 1 way to play this game so they are quick to cry we need a tank.

usualy tank role would be support , top or jung.....if none of them pick on then pick what you want....not up to u to cover it.

Always pick your best champion, most pros usually only played one champion until they got into high ELO where picks matters

Morde could be an option. He isn't a tank and has no CC, but he can soak a good amount of damage. I typically have 50-80k damage mitigated with him building full AP.

dont play mid (in future games because mid isnt adc), go full lethality mf mid and try to carry your team

Bronze? Okay, I'll be "that guy". If this is bronze, then what you do is you pick whoever you're the best at, put your team on your back, and carry them.

Can't carry in Bronze? No problem. There are SO MANY FREAKING RESOURCES out there that'll teach you how. Even something as simple as farming up and not dying in lane is enough to get you to Silver :)

Good luck, man.

Depends of the elo imo, if you are low elo pick whatever you want because there is 0 teamplay, if no: pick a Karma/Galio/Orianna or even Lulu.

Especially into ad midlaners, but also into non-consistent damage magic dealers (he can take the burst). Malphite, if you want the damage threat item 3027 item 3047 item 3152 item 3157 means you stay decently tanky but pack a wallop.

Or you can go trancendance and stack CDR tank items, be super tanky and end up w/ ~100 ap from that.

If you don't mind playing a tank, lock in Galio or Sion mid.

Hah, no-one above silver, hah.

I main leona (as a sup) and tbh if feels like I have no other options most of the time... so in order to have fun playing other champions, often I just ignore the need for a tank.

Without a tank, a team's next line of defence is CC, followed by shields. Pick, Seige, Peel is all great. Divers are out.

Galio Ornn Sion can go mid

else take a battle mage that can tank and deal damage like Swain Vladimir Ryze
