Stop filling mid unless you're certain you're the best player on your team

Mid lane is by far the most important lane regarding team-fights and is often the most contested. As a result, if you can't maintain

a) The most cs b) The most kills or assists relative to your overall deaths

You shouldn't be taking mid! I am tired of losing games because I didn't get my pick and have other mid players go 6/6/9 or worse. If you think you deserve mid lane, you're carrying or you're going home!

There was a time where mid mattered but actually it's bot lane and jungle that hold the most amount of pressure. I have been behind my laner so many times since the tower changes and still won. Why? Cause we simply 4 and 5 manned bot lane. Easiest to snowball, first one that gets that gold has a much greater chance of winning.

Mid is still the most important. Hold that lane and you have control of not only dragon and baron but also added pressure in top and bot.

Also if bot lane is struggling, mid lane is expected to help if their ahead.

There have been times I dominated my laner and still lost. As soon as their bot lane wins, my 1v1 becomes a 4v1 while our bot and jungle piss around. Even if they do respond, it's a 4 on 4 with their team having a FULL ITEM and DRAGON advantage.

Only time you should mid is if you can either get your bot lane ahead or can secure dragon. It went from being the snowball lane to a secondary support of type as you're main job is now to secure them which give amazing buffs to your team.

That's exactly what mid lane should do, hell it's what every lane should do. Help struggling lanes once their lane is ahead in CS or kills to win games.
