🔮 Mid Lane Guide
Mid lane is the playmaker. You're in the center of the map, you can rotate to any lane, and your job is to create advantages everywhere. Here's how to stop being a passive mid laner and start carrying.
Rule #1: Shove the wave, THEN roam
The single biggest mistake mid players make: leaving lane while enemy minions crash into your tower. Clear the wave first. Always. Then you have a 15-20 second window to roam before the next wave arrives. If you just leave, you lose gold, XP, and your tower takes free damage.
Rule #2: Roam bot, not top (usually)
Your farm lane (bottom) is where the ADC lives. Ganking bot and getting your ADC ahead wins games. Ganking top helps, but it's lower priority. Exception: if your jungler is topside and you can dive the enemy clash laner, go for it.
Rule #3: Which mage should you play?
Yixing (S-tier, 53% WR) — Best control mage. If you have good macro, Yixing wins games on his own. Yixing guide →
Daji (S-tier, 52% WR) — Easiest burst mage. Stun + delete. Perfect for learning mid. Daji guide →
Angela (A-tier, 50.3% WR) — Daji alternative with more AoE. Pick if enemy groups up. Angela guide →
