What decides the mid lane
A tactical read of the mid lane matchup, written from LaneDiff's champion notes: what each champion threatens, and the one thing to do about it before three minutes. It is analysis, not a match sample, so there is no win rate on this page.
Fizz
mid lane · Level six all-in
The lane changes shape at the ultimate, so the window to build a lead closes at level six.
Stay above half health from six. His full combo kills you from nothing.
Fizz's E makes him untargetable through your answer, and at six the shark converts half-health into a kill; health bars are the counter.
Irelia
mid lane · Lane bully
Wins the early trades outright and has to be punished on cooldowns instead of fought head-on.
Keep the wave thin. Her all-in scales with every minion she can dash through.
Irelia's Q resets off low-health minions, so a stacked wave is a highway to your face; thin waves cage her.
