Things I hate as a Mid laner

The pressure: Playing as a mid laner is hard It has to be something like second jungler that has to keep an eye on his lane too, like there are many scenarios where a few mistakes can cost you the game like losing the first tower normally If a Top or Bot tower is lost the enemy gains advantage over your jungler’s camps Krugs or Gromp and half of Red/Blue, If the first mid tower is open the enemy gains advantage over Raptors Blue/Red, Wolves and on top of that makes easier to put a lot more pressure to Bot and Top, when Top and Bot lose the pressure puts on the Mid laner because I wonder If the enemy Bot will roam from there to Top or the opposite.
Following and SS Okay I am in Gold division and I happen to see a lot of people that start shittalking you because you didn’t gave SS or in the worst situation you gave but he didn’t see... Following a roam, not every mid laner is a good roamer so It is normal for Aurelion Sol to roam Bot constantly but you can’t wait your for example Ziggs to roam more and better.
ARAM As a mid laner I hate when I play something that scales good mid/late but needs first to farm, everyone starts fightning and at the end your lane becomes the war field, you cannot farm or you even lose towers because of that.

Point 2 is the only thing that really annoys me about Mid. People have no idea how match up works. For example, they expect you to out roam an AurelionSol as Annie or Syndra .

Yea I can't do mid laner. You're expected to 1v1 and gank lanes, and the times when you have Sophie's choice and have to choose between ganking bot or top when they both need a gank and your jungler is securing an objective somwhere.

Going bot is the smart choice, so they can carry, but leaving your top alone could cause them to rage since most top laners are temperamental (see Hashashin). You can gank top, but RIP, if the enemy bot gets fed, you're climbing a slippery hill covered in turds.

Worst thing ever... Is when everyone ARAMS down midlane before you even hit level 10.

Honestly as Ahri Main , they don't understand that my kit is limited and I can't roam without ult , and I can't follow roams from Akali Zed Katarina Leblanc Talon Like even Annie running with Predator , and no one listens to pings , I try to push but first tower lost and bot tilted etc.. But when I play Lux ? .. no comment

Points 1 and 2 are understandable, but not point 3. Just go clear side lanes. Top clears one, you get the other. Mid lane after lane phase belongs to the ADC, who is in place for objectives.

I main Anivia.

When my LB, Zed, Talon, Kata, or whatever assassins goes to roam I will not follow. Why? Because if they are sitting in a bush I will die. I am an immobile mage. I will sit mid unless I know its safe to move through river.

I don't give a damn if you didn't see my MIA pings, thats on you not me. I'm not suiciding so you dont get ganked.

I'm sorry but not spaming ss is a big mistake. This can throw an entire game. You have to track your opponent the whole laning phase (this incluses warding properly) and even ping back the lane that is going to get ganked.

For the aram game, its because you don't rotate to side lanes. You've to maximise your gold income. Its useless to go mid if there's 3 ppl on it with a big wave coming top or bot.

LOL @ #2

Bot lane fully warded, tri and river bush giving 100% vision. No mobility Lux roams bot right over the wards and somehow gets a double kill when my bot was full hp

Proceed to rage at me telling me to follow and calling me bad.

Mid lane sucks, because you are constantly ganked as the JG goes from mid to bot or mid to top. There is no waiting if they show, but when they show at lvl 2 or 4 depending on champion. And Hecarim is a whole new can of worms for when he ganks you from behind your tower.

Mid tower is most certainly the most objectively important tower.

Following and SS

i addressed this before and even made a topic about it but everyone here is a low silver garbage so they got triggered, ill say it again, always pink ward the bush behind red buff towards bot lane and the center bush in river, that's it! not only you have good vision for ganks from bot side but you also give vision for your bot lane if your enemy mid laners decided to roam because let's admit it 90% of mid laners roam bot more than top

i have a hard time understanding this post. no offense can someone explain it to me? the english is a little broken.

Thot Patrol Ashe10/9/2018, 5:11:31 PM1 votes

The scaling/aram thing speaks to my soul lmao. Yesterday i was playing malz into ahri and had a 45 cs lead and 2 kills up and i was hard puahong mid to the second tower sense jungler had shown on a ward on the other side of the map. Then my team starts raging at me for not chasing a 4/0 garen through the jungle with them when they ended up dying. Then i got blamed for farming to much when i had 300 cs ish at 30 while my jinx was at 120 ish cs at 30 somehow im apparently bad for farming and pushing instead of running around in the jungle. Then any time i pick an assasian like zed ment to 1v1 and win early bot loses and comes mid and then its a 5v5 aram for the next 10 minutes and i lose all the gold lead i had smh. That said i like playimg 1v1 but hate playing tanks so mid lane is pretty much my home. Syndra veigar zed malz and ori are my fave mids.

It irritates me so much how many people there are that don't take the responsibility to watch their own maps. They expect everyone to hold their hand and keep watch FOR them. Yes people should try to communicate MIAs, but a laner should NEVER be relying on it to a point that they don't watch their own zones. Getting ganked is and always will be the gankee's fault, not anyone elses.

Holy fuck this. I cant tell how many times games were ruined simply because bot lane lost and wanted to be scavengers at midlane. Go top lane or something. It's way more beneficial for a top laner to generate pressure than bot laners nowadays

I've switched from support to midlane- well to be more specific, Ziggs, and I've been trying my best to learn. I hate roaming because I'm always afraid that my teammates do not respond and waste my time. Or when the enemy laner roams and I ping it several times, river is warded but then my team still dies.

I hate the ARAM mid lane. As soon as everybody gets or loses their tower they come mid lane and never leave. Then the greedy ADC takes all my farm and will back ping me if I respond to the wave that's stacking up bot lane.
