LF Mid lane carry advice from higher elo

Jumeye·4/28/2016, 9:40:41 PM·1 votes·722 views

Can anybody help me understand which champs are strong and can carry in the mid lane? I want to be able to start carrying games regardless of how my team plays or not. Advice is much appreciated!

I'm not super high elo (plat 1) but some advice I can give that isn't the most common is no matter what champ you play - learn to roam and do it often. Even if you don't get kills you still

  1. force their lanes to play more passively which makes it easier for your lanes to do good
  2. you will likely get kills or force them to back and lose xp/gold.
  3. if you do it often enough their team will likely start raging at each other like "WHY IS MID ALWAYS AT BOT, OUR MID SUCKS!!" type of thing

This conversation is posted in the wrong area of the board snad should be under general discussion or gameplay. However, I will still give you some tips. I am currently a mid main at D4 and believe I have some good insights to mid. Tips:

  1. This game is not about making hero plays or teamwork (unless you are at or around the LCS level) it is all about playing super safe and waiting for your opponents to fuck up. Place safe and solid and wait for them to do something stupid, 9 out of 10 times they do and the other 1 out of 10 times u go even in lane instead.

  2. place your yellow trinket ward at the entrance to your red side jungle so you can view both river and red side jungle as that will cover all possible ganks from one angle which allows you to huge red side jungle edge and prevent most ganks for little to no cost

  3. To carry in a solo q game you need a champ that doesn't need any help to completely stomp the enemy team and make plays when fed. Some suggestions I have are katarina, lux, ahri, yasuo, azir. There are many more, but just keep in mind the principles of LOTS OF DAMAGE, late game potential, and lack of teamwork required to make them work.

  4. you should focus on farming your lane until level 6 or so for most champs and then roam. Roaming before then is highly risky and most times is not rewarding. You want to focus on poking them when they go for their cs and not getting poked when you go for your cs.

  5. Learn champion matchups and build a pool of champions that can both counter the enemy champ, carry the game, and synergize with every type of comp.
