To the mid laner, if you aren't going to roam...

Push the damn thing, be aggressive, and force your own mid lane into staying there or punish them by taking their tower and ruining their CS count.

Sincerely, a Support tired of having your lane in his lane.

P.S. If you still want to play farmville in a meta of snowballing, at the very least, call your MIA the very second your opponent disappear from the fog of war.

If you're losing your lane, even because of matchup, it can be very difficult to contain your opponent. Pushing is a risk. Following is a risk. And as wave clear picks up in midlane waves get obliterated very quickly and opponents spend lots of time in fog of war - you'd end up calling mia every wave. Sometimes they go get blue buff or do raptors. And then theres jungle ganks. I've had several times where the enemy jungle ganks me mid, I manage to survive but don't do much damage to them, and then they both go and 4 man bot. Theres not much to be done, you've done your job just by surviving the gank and calling it, but when 4 go bot your own jungle has to head them off if your botlane is going to survive even under their tower.

Nothing worst than mid complaining about bot feeding their mid laner and doing nothing with their absence. Especially when the mid laner sneaks into jungle on mid's unwarded jungle side.

Map pressure is an important skill in League. If the enemy laner leaves lane and appears to be going on a trip across the map, in most cases it's in your best interest to start pushing the lane to make the enemy pay for his roam with missed cs and a damaged tower. Pinging MIA is also really nice, since if you ping and your ally moves to safety now the enemy has their lane pushed and tower in danger as well as wasted his time on an unsuccessful gank. A double whammy of fail.

Never let your lane opponent roam with no consequence. If you can't push for whatever reason, at the very least ping like hell and start free farming.

My bot lane once told me to stop spamming MIA pings and I said "Are you sure?" to which the Leona replied "Yeah I'm watching the map"

Guess who complained when the enemy mid laner got a double bot lane and told me to uninstall for not pinging MIA...

I'd like to tell you the story about me pinging both MIA and DANGER to the botlane and them keep up the push.

What's also annoying is when people spam ping telling you to push when you're already pushing as hard as you can.

If you're not warding properly and/or watching your map and you die to a gank it's your own fault. You may not like the way the mid laner is playing, but that may just be the way they have to play their matchup.

If they call the MIA that's good, if not it's on you to watch for the roam. Don't complain about dying to ganks because it's almost always possible to put yourself into a position where you won't. In the few scenarios where it's not you got ganked by more than just the mid laner anyway.

I always buy pinks early on as ADC and you should see how stunned my supports get from it.

Gentzer4/18/2016, 10:13:54 AM1 votes

I agree.

HOWEVER!

If it's like 8 minutes into game and I'm like level 5-6 and I'm playing Veigar, for example, don't expect me to take a tower off of one push. I'll call MIA, I'll push the minions, but don't blame me for not rotating after Zed when u get caught.

Sorry, I have to farm tons of cs and damage for s rank for chests. Winning too fast ruins that.

SlashStriker4/18/2016, 7:39:51 PM1 votes

dear bot laners stop dying when i PING 5 000 000 times MIA

also as a support what are you doing exactly on your lane? Support without map awareness? What kind of support are you? When someone is missing on the map PING RETREAD to your ADC.

Also tell that greedy bastard ADC to buy wards as every other class does. if mid lane can do it, top lane can do it, the jungle can do it and the support can do it why the ADC can't do it? He deserves to be ganked and to lose his lane
