Pretty sure jungle is the most important by far cause mid 1v1s are completely pointless when at any given moment a jungler shows up and you just die instantly or you kill the other guy instantly for free. There's no incentive to fight mid unless you see the jungler committed to doing something elsewhere, you're just farming, and if the othet guy isn't retarded, he'll just stay at his tower when his jungler is doing other stuff and visible on the map.

Mid is seriously a really dumb lane to play right now.

yeah i agree with that actually, I play mostly mid and it's basically poke each other once in a while but otherwise just farm. Especially on assassins, if you pick a wrong time to go in you're fucked. I'm basically always playing scared unless I see the enemy jungler in another lane, and when he leaves back to playing like a bitch.

Please there were a lot of people who were whining that they find it harder to win cause they could use only 3 wards lol.

Eh, calling Swain an "afk farming mid". Cheep pls, you love cancer Ziggs, so you should know how boring and shutdown this kind of lane is for champs like him.
Also fuck Anivia. Never again.

I find it funny people complain about Anivia when Ziggs is worse then she ever was. At least Anivia is relatively immobile and short ranged.

People also called Ziggs useless and underpowered for a year so fuck those people. Leave Ziggs alone. Ziggs has plenty of weaknesses people are just mad cause bad.

It's also simply a side effect of mid being a shitty lane and jungle dictating the entire game.

Yes, the game certainly hasn't changed in any way in the last year to make Ziggs a better pick.

They buffed Ziggs while nerfing every single other popular mid champion. This is the same thing that has made Veigar a pretty decent mid pick right now (baring a couple counterpicks).

Riot has systematically nerfed every single mid laner that has become popular for the last year. It's kind of annoying and also what has led to the farm meta (mids are too weak to just straight up kill each other).

I wish they would buff underplayed/powered mid laners up to the level of the outliers rather then just nerfing everything that sticks out.

idk, I always felt that if the mid fucks up your team is done for.

I've done ridiculous come backs after feeding from various positions and hardly ever came from mid. You just lose so much map control if you lose mid. Likewise, if I have a feeding member of the team, it's impossible to carry if the feeder is mid. I've seen 0/10 adc's carried but even a 0/5 mid is just done for. The reason is probably that mids often do not splitpush (barring zed) and do not get a chance to catch up when behind. Their waveclear is needed to defend a push down mid.


That's not entirely true.

(The following is assuming the basic premise of the lane hasn't varied too much since end of S3)

The thing is, mids shine and have the most influence over early-mid game. If they fuck up and fail early and can't catch back up, and the enemy mid is doing enough to increase their influence on the map and their team's objective taking, then yeah, it's very difficult to come back. But that's the nature of the lane/game.

Mids have to be influential in some way. The burst damage (comparatively) is still good late game, but not nearly as good as sustained damage or tankiness or combination of the two is that you'd get from the other positions.

The problem is usually it isn't that mid laner lost mid, but the other jungler that won it. Jungle just has so much of a massive impact on mid lane.

Also this. Jungles and mids working together to achieve objectives are a scary thing (in solo queue - competitive this is assumed). The mid used to play a big part in that. From what I've gathered, this is no longer the case.

Pretty much. It's basically impossible to win or lose mid 1v1 these days outside of a very small minority of games. Jungler basically decides mid.
