So I mainly play anything top lane. I love the fact that you just sit up there and farm and become tanky and just soak stuff up and you really don't have to be TOO mechanically skilled to play many top laners.

But lately I have been trying to improve my other lane roles. Particularly mid. I have this issue of turning mid into a farm fest. Literally. Just walking around farming. Also...I don't trade as often as I should. When I'm top lane I trade and do a decent job at it, but for some reason when I am mid I just dunno when I should. (I once lost in CS to a because I never really traded back.) I've been practicing my (simply because I think she is REALLY REALLY fun) and my and here and there.

I've started to progress with but I sort of feel like I shield too much rather then try to deal damage when my ult is down. (I once lost in CS to a ...so....sad.)

QUESTION: Generally, for most mid laners, is standard. If I go back with about 1700 gold. Do I buy the pieces for an or get a ? What if I am far ahead? Far behind? Even?

Depends on the midlaner. Sometimes midlaners do not need that much mana sustain (because of low mana cost or built-in mana sustain, like Swain and Karthus n stuff) and/or do not need the MR (because they face an enemy AD midlaner). If you do not need the mana sustain or MR, then getting heavy AP such as needlessly might be very useful. If you need a lot of AP to finish up your burst (I am looking at you Leblanc! And other burst champions :3), then needlessly might be the better pick as well.

You basically need to evaluate what the enemy has and what you have, and based on that decide what you need the most.

Quoted:

What if I am far ahead? Far behind? Even?

Far ahead get bigass AP with maybe some exceptions.
Far behind get the defense+mana regen, since you don't want to risk facing an enemy while you are without mana and defenseless.
With even situations it is basically just the evaluation thing.

Also, midlane is definitely my weakness too, but losing in CS to a is not as sad as you may think.
Once takes some mana sustain he clear waves insanely fast

Hmm, you have something wrong in your question. It depends on the mid laner that you're playing. For example, if I go , i'll go , since it's better suit for him. But for , i'll get .
Now, for the gold question. 1700 gold if and are your options, then go for parts. Why?

Well...

cost 830 gold and costs 880 gold (without any of the items needed). You can get one, add a pair of or another , buy 2 and 2 . At the end you spend 1375 gold (if you choose /1450 if you choose over ) getting 30 AP, 10% CD and Movement Speed, vision and sustain in terms of HP. If you choose you spent 1425/1500 gold (depending on the item you choose- or ), and you get 25 magic resistance, 7% mana regen as well as a nice passive and the same as before.

If you choose , you spent 1600 gold getting only 80 AP.

IMO, going for parts is the better choice.

If you're ahead, it depends how far ahead you are. If you're way far ahead (in CS and in kills] go for AP. If you're little ahead, go for .

If you're behind, go for another and some MR or Armor. That way you can survive longer and if your jungler helps, maybe you can get a kill and turn the tables.

Hope this helps. (:
