๐ŸŽฎ Mastering Mid Lane Dominance

To climb ranks in this game, consistently outclass the opposing mid-laner. This involves having more gold, pressure, and impact. The preseason is ideal for learning without the risk of losing LP. Use this time to experiment, make mistakes, and improve. Joining Skill Cap can accelerate your learning with the best courses available. Constantly having mid priority by pushing waves allows benefits like early recalls for item advantages and opportunities to assist your jungler, leading to significant advantages early in the game.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Key Abilities and Combos Awareness

Understanding and anticipating the enemy mid-laner's key abilities or combos is crucial. For example, preemptively moving to dodge Kled's E and Q combo or Syndra's EQ combo allows you to play more aggressively and punish them. Knowing their win conditions and most important abilities can turn the tide in your favor. Effective anticipation and punishment of missed abilities ensure you capitalize on your opponent's weaknesses.

โš”๏ธ Utilizing Jungler for Dives

Winning trades and coordinating with your jungler for dives can create significant advantages. Ping your jungler early to set up dives, especially when you have a wave crashing. This strategy works even in lower ELOs if communicated early. Successful dives can lead to free kills, CS denial for the enemy mid-laner, and overall game control. Proper communication and timing with your jungler are key to maximizing these opportunities.

๐Ÿš‘ Surviving Ganks and Maintaining Lane Pressure

Surviving ganks is critical. Use potions to maintain health, making it harder for the enemy to kill you. Properly identifying and focusing on the biggest threat during a gank can make the difference. For instance, in this scenario, using stuns effectively against Viego ensured survival. Pulling pressure from the enemy jungler while surviving ganks leads to advantages for your teammates and yourself, such as gaining experience faster and allowing your jungler to get ahead.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Maximizing Gold and Experience Gains

Mid-laners often roam at bad times, which can be punished by staying in lane and focusing on pushing waves and taking towers. In this example, staying mid and pushing while the enemy roamed resulted in a significant gold lead. By prioritizing wave management and tower damage, you can consistently gain more gold and experience than your opponent. This approach helps in creating a substantial advantage, contributing to overall game dominance.

laner in most of your games

play00:05

if you can't consistently be the mid

play00:07

difference it's impossible

play00:09

this could mean having more gold more

play00:11

pressure more impact mid diff can mean a

play00:13

bunch of different things so today I'm

play00:15

simply going to give you five different

play00:16

ways to be the mid diff that you can

play00:18

apply it right away in any ELO

play00:20

especially below Masters and by the way

play00:22

the preseason is the best time to focus

play00:24

on learning and improving with there

play00:25

being no risk of losing your precious LP

play00:27

you can be free to try new things make

play00:29

mistakes and learn from them treat the

play00:31

preseason like your Goku entering the

play00:32

hyperbolic Time Chamber that way when

play00:34

the new season starts you're ahead of

play00:35

the competition and climbing ranks

play00:37

becomes a breeze this is why it's the

play00:38

perfect time to join us on our platform

play00:40

at skill cap through the best courses

play00:41

out there to teach you how to destroy

play00:42

solo queue and climb stupidly fast we

play00:46

don't significantly improve when

play00:47

actively using skill cap you can claim a

play00:48

full refund so check us out after this

play00:50

alright the first way to guarantee

play00:51

midday is to constantly have mid prior

play00:53

this is something I have taught in many

play00:55

videos but by constantly pushing and

play00:57

having mid prior you get loads of

play00:59

benefits in fact in this play you can

play01:01

see two different things that I get from

play01:03

it I do a standard three-wave crash for

play01:05

the first three waves of the game

play01:06

putting a big wave under club's Tower so

play01:08

he's stuck farming it I then use my mid

play01:10

pryo to take a recall and grab a tear so

play01:13

this is the first benefit right away I

play01:14

get to take a recall where I won't lose

play01:16

anything and we'll come back to Lane

play01:17

with an item advantage of course as rise

play01:19

buying a tier doesn't give me a huge

play01:21

advantage or anything but if I was a

play01:23

Fizz and I could reset and grab a dark

play01:24

seal that's pretty huge or getting

play01:26

another long sword on Zed or something

play01:28

but after recalling because I crashed a

play01:30

big wave as I'm coming back to Lane I

play01:32

see hecarim cross their mid I still have

play01:34

mid prior so I can go right into our

play01:36

jungle I catch hecarimado Raptors with

play01:38

my cane here as well and we start

play01:39

chasing them down hecarim runs away but

play01:41

his mid laner that tried to help him

play01:43

just ends up dying

play01:44

now if we look at the Wave It's pushing

play01:46

to me and didn't crash kled doesn't have

play01:49

TP so he's going to be bleeding CS the

play01:50

entire time he's dead basically his Lane

play01:53

is actually over from this this was

play01:55

literally mid div just by playing the

play01:57

matchup properly at the start so I could

play01:58

crash waves and get mid pryo then use

play02:00

the prio for a reset and to denying

play02:03

invade from the enemy jungler alright

play02:05

moving on to the second way to guarantee

play02:06

mid-diff for this one I want you guys to

play02:08

think about exactly what the enemy mid

play02:10

laner's most important ability or combo

play02:12

is and constantly be aware of that

play02:14

during your lane just one combo or

play02:16

ability that's it for example in this

play02:19

one as risers kled I know that kled's

play02:21

win condition is to jump in with E and Q

play02:23

so that needs to be in the back of my

play02:24

mind at all times I need to be

play02:26

preemptively moving and anticipating

play02:28

when he's going to do it you can do the

play02:30

same with syndra's EQ or zweq combo if

play02:34

you anticipate it and then Dodge it from

play02:36

there you want to play much much more

play02:37

aggressive and punish it I'm slow

play02:39

pushing towards Club right now and while

play02:41

I'm csing I'm just paying attention to

play02:43

him to see if he's looking to jump in

play02:44

and it does seem that way so you'll see

play02:46

a bunch of preemptive movement from me I

play02:49

walk towards him then click away just

play02:50

trying to bait his one combo it works

play02:53

perfectly as I preemptively moved to the

play02:55

side and he jumps in with E and Q and he

play02:57

misses I did not react to that I was

play02:59

preemptively moving now I just need to

play03:02

all in and punish it

play03:03

just keeping in mind enemy mid laners

play03:05

win condition and most important ability

play03:07

will go a really long way more examples

play03:10

would be fizzy or LeBlanc W when those

play03:12

are down these Champions are much weaker

play03:14

and you need to punish them when they go

play03:16

for last hits and when they try to fight

play03:17

you alright moving on to the third way

play03:19

to be the mid difference this one is

play03:21

simple and it won't work every single

play03:23

time but when it works it's big for this

play03:25

one you need to be winning trades and

play03:27

when you are going to be crashing away

play03:28

soon you need to Ping your jungler to

play03:30

come dive enemy mid it won't work every

play03:32

time just because your jungler won't

play03:34

listen every time but I found even in

play03:36

low ELO if you ping them early they will

play03:38

come dive as it's just a free kill for

play03:40

them don't expect them to have the map

play03:41

awareness to come without pinging though

play03:44

this is the last example from this rise

play03:46

game you can see it worked perfectly

play03:47

here I'm slow pushing and Collette is

play03:49

dismounted from the trades I've been

play03:50

winning so I ping my cane to come dive I

play03:52

could dive this myself but I might as

play03:54

well make it easier we dive the and

play03:56

get the free kill and now he loses all

play03:58

that CS as well the reason this is so

play04:00

important is jungle is a role that plays

play04:02

off of winning lanes and can make plays

play04:03

around laners that are winning trades it

play04:06

doesn't matter if you're 0-4 if you're

play04:08

winning trades and have the enemy shoved

play04:09

in that's a play your jungler can make

play04:11

in low ELO they just need a little

play04:13

guidance sometimes from pings you need

play04:15

to Ping early though not right as you

play04:17

crash the wave ping an entire wave

play04:19

before you know you're gonna crash this

play04:21

can turn into an even bigger play a lot

play04:22

of the time too when you do this the

play04:24

enemy jungler might make the mistake of

play04:26

trying to gank you and because you

play04:27

called your jungler early you can easily

play04:29

kite to him and win the 2v2 or your

play04:31

jungler can counter gank either way

play04:33

because you're winning trades the 2v2 is

play04:35

an easy win and this is literally what

play04:37

mid diff is you're winning mid so your

play04:40

jungler can make easy plays and abuse

play04:41

that broken ass roll anyways moving on

play04:43

to way number four to guarantee mid-diff

play04:46

this is a big one and it's something a

play04:48

lot of players don't think about this is

play04:49

the reason when I Smurf it can seem like

play04:51

my teammates are better than your

play04:52

teammates I walk into Lane and enemy ADC

play04:55

jumps in on me with w and I flash right

play04:57

away I wasn't actually in danger of

play04:59

dying here but I didn't want to lose a

play05:01

ton of Health to the point where I can't

play05:03

Lane so I flash and it really sucks to

play05:05

lose flash level 1. then at level 3

play05:07

viego flashes on me and I barely survive

play05:09

I didn't do anything to survive this

play05:11

right well I survived because of

play05:13

something lowly the players never do and

play05:15

it drives me crazy I simply use my

play05:18

goddamn potions you guys love to sit in

play05:19

Lane with 50 or 60 health does syndra

play05:22

have kill pressure on me here when I'm

play05:23

at six percent HP no but what am I

play05:26

gaining by not using my potion the more

play05:28

health I have the less likely I will die

play05:30

to a gank using my potions literally

play05:32

made the difference here anyways we're

play05:33

not done there I TV backed the lane and

play05:35

as I'm pushing I get ganked Again by

play05:37

viego from behind now surviving ganks

play05:39

can be tricky and it's all about

play05:41

understanding who the biggest threat is

play05:42

in this case it's viego because he

play05:44

doesn't run out of damage he's an ad

play05:46

Champion with low cooldowns syndra will

play05:49

use all of her bursts then have no

play05:50

damage left

play05:51

so I put my w in a spot where viego has

play05:53

to walk through it to hit me so he gets

play05:55

stunned they almost ended up killing me

play05:57

but because I use my stun properly I

play05:59

could barely survive alright so the

play06:01

reason it's so crucial to survive ganks

play06:02

is that all the time the enemy jungle

play06:04

weighs trying to gank you is time they

play06:06

can be using farming or ganking your

play06:08

teammates so if you pull pressure and

play06:09

enemy jungler ganks and you survive you

play06:11

will notice your teammates seem better

play06:13

your jungler gets Tempo advantages and

play06:16

gets more CS in the enemy jungler your

play06:17

other laners don't die the ganks ETC

play06:19

also when enemy jungler ganks you they

play06:22

are soaking experience from their mid

play06:23

laner in this game for example viego

play06:25

ganked me a lot and the enemy Nami even

play06:27

came mid so I actually hit level six

play06:29

before syndra did all right and finally

play06:32

the last way to guarantee midday this

play06:34

one is basically a way to easily get way

play06:36

more gold than the enemy mid laner in

play06:38

lower evos but even in Diamond mid

play06:40

laners roam at very bad times but it

play06:43

goes unpunished too often

play06:44

in this game I'm on Jin mid versus Ed in

play06:48

the middle of a trade with him he swaps

play06:49

to a shadow in the ultimate this gave me

play06:51

a hint that I was getting ganked so I

play06:53

kite down and sure enough Riven was

play06:55

ganking me from top side first I W

play06:57

behind me as Zed is coming out of alt so

play06:59

it would root him right away and give me

play07:00

move speed so because of that I can

play07:03

easily survive the gank but I'm forced

play07:05

to run the long way around the mid

play07:06

because Riven for whatever reason is

play07:08

still chasing me while this is happening

play07:10

though a fight is going down a bot Lane

play07:12

so I could just run there right away

play07:13

right I would normally love to go by

play07:15

here since the enemy team is low but my

play07:17

top laner doesn't have tpf and Raven is

play07:19

here so we'll be outnumbered I know

play07:21

Riven and Zed will probably run to bot

play07:23

so I quickly run to Mid and start hard

play07:25

shoving

play07:26

as expected Raymond and Dad roamed bot

play07:28

Lane and by the time Zach got back I got

play07:30

mid Tier 1 Tower and shoved the wave so

play07:32

I could reset when I got ganked I was a

play07:35

thousand gold ahead of Zen and by the

play07:36

time he got back I was 2 000 gold ahead

play07:39

just off one room

play07:40

I got a 1 000 gold lead just because I

play07:43

didn't know

play07:44

you guys can do this constantly don't

play07:47

get baited into roaming when you can get

play07:49

more gold and experience most of the

play07:51

time just by shoving and taking place or

play07:53

Towers

play07:54

that's the thing with League to be the

play07:55

mid-diff like I said earlier it can come

play07:57

down to a bunch of different things but

play07:59

just having more gold than the enemy

play08:01

made consistently goes a long way and

play08:03

they make so many mistakes in diamond

play08:04

and below that you have lots of ways to

play08:06

get a gold lead

play08:07

and finally if you noticed this play

play08:10

also had what we talked about earlier I

play08:12

survived the gank from Riven so she got

play08:14

no gold for me and during that time our

play08:16

top laner also got the entire top Tower

play08:18

with plates so I'm helping my top get

play08:20

ahead just by surviving the gank alright

play08:22

guys so these are the five ways to

play08:24

guarantee mid-diff these are the things

play08:26

you can apply right away and should get

play08:28

real results with them but that's going

play08:30

to bring us into this video we hope you

play08:32

enjoyed it and thanks for watching
