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.
Both are roaming assassin champions in this lane: Leaves the lane to kill somewhere else, so tracking and pings are worth more than the wave.
Talon
mid lane · Roaming assassin
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.
Twisted Fate
mid lane · Roaming assassin
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.
