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.
Pantheon
mid lane · Lane bully
Wins the early trades outright and has to be punished on cooldowns instead of fought head-on.
His early all-in is elite. Respect levels one to three and hold your escape for the stun.
Pantheon's point-and-click W stun makes his levels 1–3 among the strongest in the game; he falls off, so surviving is beating him.
Talon
mid lane · Roaming assassin
Leaves the lane to kill somewhere else, so tracking and pings are worth more than the wave.
He roams off his first shove. Ping missing loudly and ward your side river entrances.
Talon's wall-hop opens roam paths no other mid has; the counter is fast missing pings and side-lane wards, not chasing him.
