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.
Kassadin
mid lane · Scaling carry
Weak now and unanswerable later, so the lane has to be settled before the game reaches them.
Bully him every level before six. He has no answer to early aggression.
Kassadin is among the weakest pre-6 mids and unstoppable at level sixteen; every early plate and kill is time bought.
Twisted Fate
mid lane · Roaming assassin
Leaves the lane to kill somewhere else, so tracking and pings are worth more than the wave.
Shove him under tower so he can't roam, and back off whenever he goes missing after six.
Destiny at six turns any losing side lane into a 2v3; TF pays for his roams with a weak lane, so pressure is the tax.
