Bless that Syndra indeed! I get midlanders like a reksai who went like 3/16/5 against a Lux mid. Literally died 2-3 times before I could even gank them, and when I was near their lane they forced a gank and died for it


rajboy3

Bro I just had a game where belveth got autofilled bot and was about to troll, so I offered to play bot and they could play jgl. He then proceeds to switch smite to heal, attempts to jungle, comes to bot Lane level 4 while I'm level 9, ints into enemies then shows up and permanently shoves every wave. I just got my silver promo man :(


nonoajdjdjs

what probably happened: player made his runes and all. runes had the couldn't save bug player is forced to choose one of the premade rune pages choosing one of them changed his summoner spell to his role. in this case botlane. no time left to swap summoners. happened to me a couple of times it's really annoying.


LieRepresentative811

What probably happened: player changed the smite. Player was too lazy to make their runes so they clicked on the premade runes Player: *pickahoo noises*. Source: this happened to me in a normal game with my friends.


nonoajdjdjs

why would he complain about wrong runes then? your story doesnt add upšŸ•µļø


rajboy3

I don't think so he would've complained about the bug he instead kept on going "shit wrong runes, can't play without smite" and somewhere along the line he decided running bot Lane was the correct play.


nonoajdjdjs

100% sure what i said happened there. he took like 20 secs to make runes. clicks save. but it doesnt save and only lets you choose premade runes. not the ones you wanted. he was just tilted. jungling without smite sucks. you can blame riot games for not fixing the bug.


rajboy3

Fair enough


J0k3B0x

I will tell you the infamous tale me and my friends share known simply as ā€œThe Blitzkrank Incidentā€. When I very rarely played ranked I would duo bottom with my friend, and we once had a Blitzkrank jungle. No issues with that, let the man cook in bronze elo. The Blitzkrank then proceeded to say how he is a platinum Smurf and this will be an easy game. The game goes on and the enemy jg (a Voli) is constantly ganking bottom lane and upon hitting level 6 we cannot even play under tower anymore. Me and my friend were suffering and attempted to solicit the help of Blitzkrank who had been perma top and mid. He told us in not so nice words that he never ganks bottom because he has never had a bad bottom lane (even though we were being permacamped). Not a single drake was acquired, bottom lane and enemy jg got fed which didnā€™t make up for the lead mid and top had and we lost


SoPunnyHarHar

Bro its all our fault don't you realise? Jungle diff


ivadtutto

if you ainā€™t counterganking itā€™s 100% ur fault indeed lmao


SoPunnyHarHar

you sound like the trash top laner than goes 0/3 (not from ganks either) and blames jungle.


ivadtutto

I might have replied the wrong comment lol it doesnā€™t even make sense when I read it nowā€¦ There wasnā€™t even an enemy jg ganking him in his case. Maybe it was something else about junglers roles in counterganking. Pardon me!


Quirky_Ad_9736

Had the enemy Veigar go 1/20 against me as Panth mid last game bro wasnā€™t even running it down intentionally but still got banned. 20 deaths is very impressive though

Arttyom

Say that to my pyke's and thresh who are 24/7 in lane while their karma/Lulu/whatever enchanter roams to every single fight and skirmish


SwugBelly

and now if u type even a single word and got reported u will get a chat restriction lmao, i hate riot policy so much man, if they do not want to hear anything just straight mute yourself, why force everyone to suffer? I literally got chat restricted saying wp to my adc


ayylotus

Bet you got question pinged too lol


pneis1

YOU WAKE UP AND REALIZE IT WUZ ALL A DREAM


Exoticpoptart63

SNAP BACK TO REALITY


Cowsie

Ohp theres a pocket of gravity


Deftlet

I don't think that's how the line goes


Merkilo

The bones are the skeleton's money


Past_Structure_2168

its nice to have active laners that actually move and help others instead of sitting in their lane lobotomized


Brendini95

My problem is (low elo monkey brain) I don't understand when it is worth me to roam from mid because if the play doesn't benefit us and the play fails/we get no kills I look back and then my mid laner is taking plates from tower. ​ I try to push the lane to try to roam off but then sometimes i'm just playing against someone that can push in way faster than me or if i'm not present they just blow everything and melt the wave


Haruka_Kazuta

What I like my laners to do: 1: mid lane at lower elo is notorious for not warding choke points. Probably one of the worst vision scorers on average. Considering it is the shortest lane, and the easiest to gank repeatedly if your mid pushes often and stays in lane, not good. Play on the side that you warded, makes ganking by the enemy jungler harder to be successful (barring gap closers like Rengar and Zac ults. 2: For mid: watch for river, dragon, and herald. Gets irritating when I ping a lane when my laner is pushed, but they never come for a skirmish, dragon or herald because they are too busy csing and the enemy laner gets a kill, a herald, or a dragon. What is worst, instead of pushing and taking tower health they just push the mobs and back while the enemy mid is far away. 3: For mid: is your lane pushed? Did your enemy laner just backed? Take tower, or roam top or mid. If one of their lanes are pushed towards them, gank. IF that laner fed the enemy, check to see if you are fed, if you aren't fed, stick with tower clearing or go for the other lane. 4; Support needs to ward, no if or butts. I can excuse the other laners but supports have the most amount of wards in the game. Once support item is done, go buy a damn sweeper, you don't need 5 yellows because you can't place 5 yellows anyways... and we need the extra enemy vision clearing 5: Support can roam from time to time, assuming the ADC isn't a blockhead that dives repeatedly alone. It is actually a good idea from support to roam to mid or river from time to time, and I've seen a lot of support win games because of it


Deus0123

I agree with most of that, but you don't have the option to gank both sidelanes. You can only roam to the sidelane your jungler is closer to and/or the one the enemy mid roamed to, to avoid putting your team into a skirmish with more enemy champions than ally champions.


w1se_w0lf

Monkey brain shoves the wave as it arrives. Instead of staring at enemy laner farming under turret monkey brain walks somewhere else to: \- ward enemy raptors/blue buff \- farm enemy raptors (doesn't work on some champions as it is too early for them in the game, it takes too long or is very unhealthy) \- assists jungle with drake/herald, crab contest or invade \- roam bot with or without your jungler (top roams are most likely waste of time - too many wholesome champs that can force isolated 1v1 and/or are too tanky to kill them as midlaner, also there is no reason to roam top if your laner is losing because wholesome toplaners designed to splitpush can 1v2 while ahead, however if you see something squishy like Vayne then feel free to roam top) \- finally reset if low on health or mana or has gold for meanigful powerspike


Mr_Degroot

I'm not the best but my general check list to roam bot as mid is \- are my lane minions on the enemy side of the lane (so enemy laner can't get easy plates) \- is the enemy botlane gankable (pushed up? summoners down? low/no vision?) \- do we have wards so I can rotate down safely? (and not get picked off by the enemy) \- match up? (is the enemy mid faster than me? am I a threat to the enemy bot lane?) ​ I would also say a good way to start being more mobile during laning phase is when your jungler is taking a scuttle crab, move closer to them (while staying in your lane) so if they get in a skirmish with the enemy jungler you can move and support them before your lane opponent can.


Thermic_

That tip at the bottom is really good! Any others?


Past_Structure_2168

aim to help when crabs, dragons, heralds are being fought over. maybe even join early level dives. its hard to roam if you dont know when its a good time but its just something you need to practice to get better. but that requires knowing your lane match up, the lane you are roaming into if its even possible to roam there and make a profit without just losing 1.5 waves and plates. then there is also the problem that maybe the roaming does literally nothing due to low elo players unable to capitalize for the lead you have made for them. hard game


reenactment

Hereā€™s a simple way to get into rivers of your able to shove lane. Only roam off non cannon waves. So if you clear and have no cannon in next wave, put yourself in fog. Donā€™t force the roam but do this enough and you will see opportunities. If you give up cannons you are giving up gold on top of xp you sacrifice on failed roams.


theeama

To break it down simply for you when you have a lane pushed in and you realize that an enemy has over extended in bot or top you can roam. Note you can only do this successfully when you know where the enemy jungler is. So letā€™s say jungle is too and enemy bot is over extended and your bot lane has reasonable HP thatā€™s a good gank Same for too letā€™s say enemy top laner is pushing in you can coordinate with your top lane to push in and take a kill. Note if both lanes are warded donā€™t bother wasting your time unless they are over extended or under your tower. In terms of mid lane banks thatā€™s your junglers


chairnoleg

dm me if youre plat or below, ill give you a foolproof guide to midlane


Deus0123

I will move literally any second I get the chance to. Yes I could harass the enemy mid while they're farming under tower or if they're low enough dive them, but by being there I am also risking getting ganked and we both know I'm too dumb to set uo vision. So what I do is I go to river (whatever side my jungler is on) and look for a play there. If there is a play, great, I'm here to facilitate it, if there's not, there is a zero percent chance of me getting flashed on and made to drop my shutdown and stacks by the enemy jungler, because if I run into them, I just walk towards my jungle and if they chase, well we 2v1. Enemy mid isn't gonna move, they're farming under tower and if they come they lose so much cs and exp that I win regardless.


TheAtlasOdyssey

As a Kassadin player, Iā€™m so sorry for my past infractionsā€¦ šŸ˜”


Past_Structure_2168

i dont mean you have to leave your lane to gank bot while you have minions under tower but please people, help the junglers with crabs at least


Character-Bed-6532

Idk why, must of the time Syndras in my team are either great bro's or straight up pro players, unlike Kata mainers and Darius mainers


Complex_Jellyfish647

Mainly because you actually need to have a brain to play Syndra. People who play champs like Kat and Darius are just headbutting their keyboards.


Demiscis

True, if Iā€™m locking Darius Iā€™m mentally preparing myself to just click ghost off cooldown and run my laner down.


No_Childhood4689

Same feeling you get when your toplaner solo kills their top for first blood. And he types to you ā€œJg this guy is trash, play around bot/mid, stack drags Iā€™m going hullbreaker.ā€ And then solo kills the enemy top laner again multiple times under their own turret, up 3 levels and double CS. Then 2v1s the desperation mercy gank.


Regectedgamer

I love when I do that lololol.


No_Childhood4689

Jg is the double edged sword. Not hard to carry/slide through to a W when most of your team is winning or you out path the enemy jg. But Hard when most of your laners are getting smashed or behind.


SoPunnyHarHar

Enemy mid*


bwolven

I think mid is the strongest role in the game. It can have a massive impact on everything and they have higher XP advantages.


Timely-Appointment-6

Itā€™s the weakest rn, lol.


bwolven

Weakest my ass. Itā€™s literally one of the strongest.


Timely-Appointment-6

If you are not playing top tier champs/matchups not having priority makes the game a instant coin flip. So in the sense that if you play a lot of ahri/talon and it isnā€™t banned.. sure but you are very limited in options versus snowballing side lanes right now, primarily due to the items. I donā€™t think it is anyoneā€™s opinion that mid is strong rn lol


bwolven

Let me thinkā€¦ mid is literally the center of the map. Mid can affect every single lane equally with quality roams. Mid can literally win jungle if played correctly. Mid will have XP advantages throughout the game. They will be higher level along with top. Being higher level is a massive advantage in gameplay. What is your rank?


Character-Ease9328

"Mid can affect every single lane equally with quality roams" \- Entirely matchup dependent and you should know this if you are above silver. You need priority to roam and again depending on what you play, and what your matchup is, and the state of both your side lanes/jungle you're not going to just have those options. ​ The mid laner has great options but it's 100% spearheaded by the Jungler, and NA Junglers suck bruv, which makes mid lane very flippy a times unlesss you have a pretty decent pool, which most people don't.


bwolven

Flaming NA junglers lmao What's your rank?


HearingNo8617

reasoning?


Absurdulon

Blessed. Maybe next game you'll have the mythical ADC that helps with fucking dragon.


ForgetMeNot-Tsuki

Iā€™d never say no need to blue šŸ˜ˆ but best starting ward because I can throw an ability over the wall to steal some of the raptorsā€¦ I guess tracking the jungler matters too


EldritchMe

Someday people will realise that roaming its the key of victory in this game. also, farming isnt that great.


jmargar

I would love to spend the rest of my life with that mid. šŸ„²


Shirna_Tensei

Seems like rift needs a church šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


CheesecakeIsGodlike

I feel very apreciated by this meme. Thankyou.


AgainstAllEvil

I do all of these things, but I play Yasuo.


ryonnsan

Bless you


SpicyMuscle

Fuck, so true. Also, when top initiates Herald


[deleted]

I am that Syndra usually. I love you guys, thank you for your hard work! I love to help and roam to help lanes and objectives, I also pink ward Dragon and Herald in addition to raptors :)


ryonnsan

Bless you


yesterdayslovex

ohh how nice it must be at the beginning of the game where: team protects the invade, Mid wards raptors, top laner wards enemys blue/red, sup rotates for scuttle / deep ward that syndra "no need" lol, From that moment forward I will play and DIE for my mid laner EDIT: iphone format is bad


[deleted]

As a former mid main, I would like to reveal a secret Most of us dont actually need blue buff Like idk where this trend of giving every mid laner blue came from. A good mid laner wont ability spam, we already will have plenty of experience managing mana. The only time I would say to give blue to an ap assassin in the mid to late game. They usually lack waveclear without abilities, and unlike mages, assassins are strongest in side laning and flanking. Mages usually play front to back and only catch side waves instead of pushing into enemy territory.


ryonnsan

TIL moment. Thank you for sharing a secret


Nerfi5

I FUCKING LOVE THESE GOOD MID PLAYERS


maofx

Then your midlaner loses the game anyways because the jg is afk farming all game and doesnt ever cover ganks so they just get camped, bot is 0/10 and half the players are afk split pushing and you're playing someone like Syndra or Ahri who literally can't 1v9 the game All in the first 12 minutes.


AbsoluteBehemoth

Yea Iā€™m kind of tired getting dove at lvl 3 and my jg is afk farming despite me pinging as the enemy jg shows on a ward pathing mid and the enemy mid starts suspiciously stacking 3 waves.


EsophagusPounder

This is me. Iā€™m that mid !!!


Spiderbutt9

Same (except I roam bot cuz its fun blowing them up as vex)


EsophagusPounder

I play ekko and malphite mid so I understand.


definitelynotcasper

Yea I don't even queue solo ranked anymore. I only play as a mid/jungle duo.


Electrical_Ad_1939

You forgot ā€œyou still lose game cause other lanes fed ā€œ


Carrygan_

I would like if jungle mains realized zed is very good with blue buff instead of taking it as vi


krazykatze10

You wake up


edrienn

And then he woke up


MrTurboIce

If you need to ask mid whether blue is needed or not, you are not going far in this game.


MeasurementJumpy4934

U wake up and the mid is flaming u


Soulfear21

The kids I get tend to afk mid lane while the whole team is trying to contest drag/herald/baron. Then proceeds to die to the exact people that were just murdering the rest of the team.


Shirna_Tensei

Your syndra picks up the enemy red buff and gives it to you - end game


ZmentAdverti

Damn. I keep wishing for proactive mid laners. It's so rare in low elo. I hate that I have to cover 2 sides of the map at once cuz the mid laners won't drop a single wave to rotate and get objective or a gank off.


Strawhatjack

That's me! Then I get camped and never get help from jg!


BIadyKun

I actually wonder how many of these junglers saying mid are afk actually gank mid when they are shoved under tower or help push to get mid prio before objectives šŸ¤£


TheLonelyAsian1

Playing jungle and adc recently and the game has made me a bit toxic and sometimes rage a bit when things donā€™t go the way I want. Planning on changing my for role to top lane where I play champions that perma split push to create pressure


LilyBabyXo_

I once got a midlaner like this šŸ˜”. When I asked them to duo they were an auto filled support main.


kierowca_ubera

5: you wake up


g0nzal0rd

Man, i really believe that the better mid wins as a jungler main.


KamikazeBrand

i never take my duo's buffs cause ill just die in 60 seconds anyways... long before I wouldve naturally run oom lol


1ron_1on

This is why my friend plays mid lane. He got upset that his mid laners never roamed to jungle fights, so he became a Yone mid otp


Satan_n_Drag

Zac mid BB. Shitting on katarinas and Yasuoā€™s all day!


Much_Rope6899

All about the mid laner


wigglerworm

Meanwhile I get a Zeri who types ā€œjg diff, rengar has gabled twice and you havenā€™t onceā€ it was 5-6m into the game. I ganked top and mid and told them I was ganking the other lanes a they say ā€œso you ganked other lanes - congratsā€ some people man. I swear I try to be the sweetest most helpful laner when Iā€™m not jingling just because of the shit I deal with.


ryonnsan

Some adcs are special breed


Deus0123

I've been that mid so many times. Shame my junglers always insist on doing plays by themselves rather than waiting until I have prio and can follow up. Oh also "Mid you want blue?" I have a better idea: You take your blue, I take enemy blue


weltraumdude

Isnt current meta exactly the opposit where u sit lane cus they changed minion spawn timer to match sidelanes


tusthehooman

Syndra legit has infinite mana glitch, I literally never encountered any Syndra that has lost chapter and being oom at the same time.
