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.
Katarina
mid lane · Level six all-in
The lane changes shape at the ultimate, so the window to build a lead closes at level six.
Step off her daggers. Every trade she wins starts with one on the ground.
Katarina's damage routes through dagger pickups and resets; denying the dagger denies the combo, and grouped CC ends her ult.
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.
