first new lizzy experience. i really like lizzy as a counter to high mobility champions since i don't have to worry about skillshots or anything, i just point and click and yea, keep jumping ******!
anywho athenes rush is still a no go, i was rushing cdr cap cos 2.4s q is insane but i think imma now gonna do morellos into dfg or maybe zhonyas to not cap cdr so fast. her burst feels noticeably weaker but q spam is pretty ridiculous. didn't notice ult slow being stronger but tbh i still played her mostly lane-stomper assassin-like so, u know
kinda scared she'll take over as support/top
i don't want that :/
uh well, can't say much about garen but syndra's kind of tough to do consistently well with. she's really strong in lane but starts having trouble as the game goes on and people get tankierEh, I typically play top or mid. With Garen and Syndra. Sometimes I branch out with Jungle Xin and that goes okay... There is other mid's I can play, but not sure they're typically considered good in those roles anymore (Annie, Diana, to name two.)
I've recently tried expanding out with Aatrox after having played a fair number of normals but I have yet to win a ranked game with him.
she also has a lot of trouble against specific champions like fizz or kayle that give no fucks about her ult
i think annie's actually pretty good both mid and support and pretty easy to play and consistent. specially on like silver you can rush dfg, get 2 wards, red trinket, camp bushes and blow up fools non stop. syndra's pretty similar but harder to play so u know, if you're having trouble with her you can just fall back on annie for a bit while you get your confidence back
diana i don't really like right now and think she's kinda shit unless megafed so eh...
ed: general tips for mid tho:
- ward both sides of the lane or at least one and always stay by that side.
- if you have blue buff and a couple potions and jungler's ganking a lane do the camp opposite to the lane they're ganking (if you're blue side and jungler's ganking bot then do wolves, or wraiths for top, same for purple side)
- try not to trade flashes with other mid, unless you really need it. getting a kill is worth it sometimes but you really need flash specially if you're not winning yet
- if you see other mid roaming always follow. players won't pay attention to your pings and feed him. try to shove the wave before following if there's time
- never bait for jungle ganks. like seriously, that shit never ends well
- if you can't kill other mid but they stil had to b, it's fine. don't make mistakes for 300g, it's not worth it. just force them out of lane and watch as jungler comes to defend. you just helped your whole team tremendously
- almost always get zhonyas. you're not gonna get much peel so you need to be able to keep yourself safe from bruisers jumping at you. forget about deathcap, athenes (or whatever your champion builds) into zhonyas, almost every game.
- whenever you're at base and are thinking about items always have void staff in mind. if you see people starting to build mr (locket's a pretty decent sign) go for it.
- always try to come back from base in a better situation than you got there. so like always try to get combat stats (don't get two faerie charms, get 400g cloak thingie and mana pots) if possible. get lots of potions and wards, always
- buy red trinket when you feel like it, specially on bursty champions (better on syndra, ahri than like ori but still good on ori). use it whenever it's up.
- get ga/banshees early if you're carrying and ahead in levels. it's basically instawin since no one can kill you
- buy blue elixirs if big fights are coming up.
tried to keep it as midlane focused as possible but usual things still apply (don't talk with teammates, turn off all chat, let your jungler know when flash is down for enemy mid, objectives > kills, never do baron, etc.)
