mid lane in general

If these champions are dominating soloq then there's a huge issue with mid as a whole as being a snowbally, early-game centered fuck fest with more or less 0 counterplay pre 10 minutes. The immobile mages that are considered are only allowed to be there because they are playable in this kind of meta like
. Because of the jungler changes, junglers will camp the shit out of anyone without mobility spells, and these champions mitigate any kind of risk that comes with aggressive playstyles too. Not only do most of them do extreme damage early, they also have lane priority by being able to just roam bot without losing much for it because early waveclear from anyone immobile was giga nerfed
Most of these champions also have very good roaming potential while spiking with one item. Hashinshin was correct that the game is early game focused. Top lane has the same problems too, if you dont pick an early game centered top and you're not playing ranged, then you're just irrelevant, praying that you're team salvages the game
