Dealing with AD mid laners

Kereda·10/28/2015, 1:17:52 PM·1 votes·3,562 views

Hey guys,

I'm a mid lane main who mostly plays control/wave clear mids who scale well into the mid/late game. I have trouble mostly with ad mids like zed, yasuo, and to a lesser extent talon.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips/ champ suggestions that could help me beat them in lane. I'm willing to play cheese picks if necessary. Any suggestions help. Thanks.

As a late-game champ, you're probably not going to "win" any lane. Just sit back, farm, and avoid poke until you have enough damage to do anything to them. For Zed and Talon, get a Zhonya's, for Yasuo, get a gank.

For zed, pick either yasuo or talon for AD, or Ahri, malzahar, kayle, lissandra and fizz. For yasuo, pick zed, Annie, leblanc and also malzahar and maybe fizz. For talon... I have no idea, i don't play talon personaly and don't really knowwhat champions are bad for him... But also, be aware of the champions you pick themselves... Do not pick a champion if you are not comforable and confident with your skills with them... It serves no purpose picking Annie vs yasuo and don't know how to counter him. It's no use picking kaylevs Zed and don't know what to abuse.... Learn the champions well and then learn the matchups. Don't just go pick yasuo on to zed just to feed him for free :P

W and later item 3025 clear waves well. You can even use your ult.

Armor scaling damage.

Cheesy and outrageous.

AD mid lane assassins all want to do the same thing, Roam for kills. If your more comfortable on an AP wave clear farming mid then do just that. Just keep track on the enemies abilities and trade when they are down. By clearing the minion wave you can punish their roaming by taking the tower or forcing the jungler to react and cover it; alternatively you can roam as well. If their roam was unsuccessful with achieving a kill when you decided to stay mid and push tower they can miss out on 1-2 waves of cs and experience.

Have you played against full-AD J4 mid?

Build item 3157 . Now you've countered all three of those champs.

Editing sucks from mobile but as mentioned I was also looking for counter/cheese match ups if anyone has suggestions.
