HardBeginner #4
Mid
Position 2
You win a 1v1, then you spend that advantage on a tower or a side-lane kill. Sitting mid 3–0 while barracks fall is a KDA screenshot, not a win.
Lane: CS + runes + not dyingAfter 6: Gank or take tower — pick one
Kit: Bottle on most heroes · Boots before a third bracer · A TP that you actually press
Strengths
- • Levels come fast — your ultimate decides early fights
- • Rune control is a second income stream
- • A rotated mid saves a losing safelane
Weaknesses
- • Every missed last-hit is louder in a 1v1
- • No map awareness = you are the gank victim, not the ganker
Starter tips
- 1
Learn last-hits in demo or New Player Mode until 50 CS at 6 feels late, not heroic.
- 2
Bottle, then look at the rune timer. Missing every power rune is a hidden loss.
- 3
When you hit 6, tell the 4 you are walking. A solo mid gank into a warded ramp is feeding.
- 4
Start a simple mid (Dragon Knight, Viper, Zeus) before Invoker.
