Watching Worlds Mid-lane seems like the least impactful lane in this meta.

Either an ADC or top lane bruiser completely dominating.

Few unique mages actually picked mid, either tanks, brusiers or some cc/pick mage champion that is forced to build defensively and goes Time Warp Tonic +item 2033.

Why was mage mana nerfed to shit again? Why was damage buffed to absurd levels to the point where most immobile mages are trash?

The only effective top lane bruiser I've seen is Irelia, it's almost always ADC.

Isn't that the same in solo q ? Mid lane is just a second jungler role , that keeps roaming Mages were kicked out of the lane because Akali Irelia Talon Zed Aatrox Fizz LeblancKassadinYasuo Dominated the lane And only 1 pick Could do well because that pick was good at roaming and escaping ganks , Ahri but got nerfed for being the only pick that wasn't unfun to play against by simply preventing the rest of those BS picks from snowballing

And if you play against a champion that uses item 2033 Even Ekko Well it's over for you

To get a meta that is interesting to watch. It is not about afk farming and wait for late game anymore. Teams fight for incremental leads the whole game. I enjoy it so far!

How is that? Most the of the games ive seen teams get a small lead and the game is over. They have no chance of coming back. Its just waiting 10 min for them to lose.

I confirm there have been come back games. It is just hard to come back, since the team is behind. That has always been the case...

Rookie dominated the first two games of the current series as a mid laner...

that is forced to build defensively and goes Time Warp Tonic

because this combo is literally broken

also you need sustain because junglers are (again) oppressive as fk and since mid it's the more exposed lane your laning phase ends after your first wave,after that you don't play against the enemy mid,you play against the enemy jungler and you will spend 90% of your time in avoiding ganks

if you don't build defensive and/or pick one of those standard mage you have a "dive me pls" written on your forehead

More than half the game i've seen either top jungle or mid were the most fed and feared, adc only getting the same level of threat if the game drags on. You really gonna tell me picks like Gragas, aatrox and LB have little imoact?
