1) Alpha strike if there is 3 creeps so it hits the enemy champion
2) Max q
3) Don't stack dorans, Only one doran to start you off with mp5 and dmg.
4) Kages cause mid game is weird, it will help you generate gold.
5) Profit

Shuddap. I understand ad is better but he is a great ap mid. I beat everyone but gragas, That includes ziggs, xerath, kat, veig, ryze, etc. Ad is good but only really viable adc bot or jungle. I have done ap top mid bot, all has been viable besides jungle.

Doran and kages is only viable early, no need on having late game, replace doran with zhonyas, and kages with void staff.
