[Mid-lane Rant] Leave My Lane Please

The DrBonjigollo··13 votes·611 views

It's been ten minutes. I haven't died nor have I gotten an assist or kill. This is fine. I'm just barely surviving each time my enemy laner~~ stabs~~ pokes me but my cs is a little behind. This is fine. Now the enemy Zed/Talon/Fucking Gragas is missing. I've pinged '?' on his turret three times and '!' on you four times, but you still don't back off and die. Why didn't I follow? Because if you would've listened I could've picked up my cs loss and maybe put some damage on the turret while the enemy laner just wasted their time. This isn't fine.

Now I understand that you've lost your turret, but that's YOUR fault. Neither you nor the support put up any wards. Both of you could have stayed back and farmed. You didn't need to fight every time thresh landed a hook FOR ONCE. But you lost the turret. Oh well. Instead you could be farming at the second tower with the two yellow trinkets and control ward I put down keeping the jungle well lit. But no, EVERYONE MUST COME MID. And because EVERYONE must come mid, EVERYONE must take the cs I was BARELY getting as is. And because EVERYONE must come mid, EVERY TIME someone gets caught and I have to face tank Jhin's Ult because you always walk in straight lines, probably the reason you lost lane in the first place. Now MY turret is gone and we've all died, feeding Zed an easy duskblade because YOU don't know how to stand behind minions against BitchCrank.

Now yes, I could've roamed bot. But I generally suck at roaming, forgive me, I need to work on that. Perhaps our jungler could've ganked. But unlike you the enemy bot lane knows how to ward and he/she's been getting counter jungled the whole time. Top could've tp-ganked? With what wards? They can't tp on a minion, that's too obvious and is just a wasted tp.

Okay I get it. Mid is the shortest lane between the bases and thus the safest. But why are you pushing mid when you could easily head back to your sidelane and take that base turret and inhib. Sure it's further but YOU have the lead. YOU could keep pushing cause no one can stop your 600 stacks, Susan. There's no need for ANY of you people to bother my peaceful lane. Go Away Damnit.

Yeah, I'm sick of having to ARAM mid for no reason. Why can't all of you just go get other objectives instead of having a stalemate mid.

Why ?? most of time if i don't follow its mainly cause i have no vision in the river, so if i play a squishy against them they'll melt me in the river.

I completly agree with ur post.

Is there anything to add ?

Playing the laningphase for 20 minutes is just silly. If that losing botlane stayed in that lane any longer they'd just lose even more so when they come mid just go bot. This is the correct rotation especially when you are getting pushed in anyways (which I deduce from you having less CS than your opponent).

Why would you decide that it's a good thing to post hat everyone should stay in their lane indefinetely? That's just insanely low-quality gameplay.

when they come mid just go bot

Wow, I legit never thought of that because I assume they'll lose my turret too without me. However, whenever the minion wave is pushed to our 2nd bot turret the adc claims it and I don't feel like getting flamed over it.

You're right there as-well but I just find it so damn annoying how every game goes the same way. A turret is lost bot and everyone comes pouring into mid. I mean, often the duo that won bot doesn't even continue to push. Overall, I'm just a boosted Monkey that barely made his way to gold and just wants his damn minions.

I suggest you try to embrace those rotations. Some general rules are:

  • lanes are not static, botlane is generally better at pressuring than other lanes because it's two people
  • if your botlane takes turret you want to do drake. Then use your botlane to take the other T1 turrets (preferably against people without waveclear) - sometimes you need to help, sometimes you (or your toplaner) will have to defend the other lanes.
  • if the enemy botlane takes your botlanes turret they should rotate/do drake. Depending on how confident you are you could either 4/5 man gank botlane when they overextend or rotate your botlane elsewhere

The thing with rotations is that you don't miss minions as long as you react quickly enough. If your botlane comes mid and you don't have immediate kill pressure you could just rotate botlane so that you don't miss anything.

Nerd, why aren't you spamming the question mark ping like everyone else when I happen to be near the general vicinity of your lane? Dumbass.

Looks like you're an Ekko main, why the fuck are you not building five warmogs and a Zhonyas to deal with Zed? You clearly just don't know how to itemize smh.

If you suck at roaming don't play mid, if the enemy is always able to roam freely it's your fault too and you need to improve
