I enjoyed reading this guide as I found it to be fairly educational regarding mid lane.

If you were to improve on this guide a little more I guess you could give advice on *where* to ward exactly.
Suggestions to other guides could also be good. Also perhaps you could update the builds to show the 3 pots and the more detailed build order? Haha, Overall I liked this guide and look forward to seeing how it progresses :) BTW I like the Vladimir parts although I'd like to try him out at top :)

thanks, for a player that has just started playing mid lane, this was helpful.

Very nice guide for the beginner. As a newbie, I found this guide very informative.

Thank you for the feedback. Some remarks though:
1) I kind of do something similar in the champion list on the bottom of the page. Obviously in time (it is time consuming) the idea is to condense most relevant specific knowledge I have about mid champions in that list; including the section "How did I learn this champion?". That section generally gives more detailed information about how I learned the champions, which isn't always the most "reliable" way.
2) The builds I posted on top (Annie, Vlad, Katarina, Leblanc, Brand, Yi, Morgana and Kennen atm I think) are meant to be a broad selection of champions that:

• I have at least a decent amount of experience with
• Are distributed across different types of mages
• Are distributed across different levels of play (for example I will rarely still play Annie the way I listed her here, though I strongly believe that at say pre-30 levels of play or unranked soloq the posted build is often the best one.) I will add an early section to the guide explaining this though.

3) Sometimes top rated guides are horribly wrong. Misinformation is out there and is hard to detect. I know that linking directly to top rated guides would ppb increase my ratings, but the aim of this guide is partially to review said top rated guides and hand out a warning if care needs to be taken. The worst case I've seen so far is Katarina:

• The featured guide on Solomid by Westrice is very suboptimal. He just gave her an Akali build.
• Lattman's Katarina guide on lolpro.com is better, but still wastes significan resources.
• I think it's only since this monday or something that the top Katarina guide on Mobafire makes sense. For the entire time I've been playing LoL, the top guide (AP katarina du couteau or something) was dead, dead, dead wrong on just about everything when it comes to playing Katarina. I thought this was partially due to it being a guide that was made back when AD kat was considered strong, but I see it's been updated recently nonetheless.
• Leaguecraft's top guide is the worst one of the bunch.

This all looks very good and well thought out.

One major idea I had was for the builds you have put up. It's good that you don't list every component of everything. My idea was that you should take the builds (giving credit, of course) from some of the top rated guides, as those are builds that the majority of the community has said "I agree with this." Just think that way you don't have to explain the build reasoning (just link to your source,) and also the community knows that your builds are reliable, as they have been upvoted many times.

It's a pretty nice guide but I think it would benefit from a few more sections and elaboration. Something like popular picks and counter picks would be very nice and maybe some warding tips. With a few more of these types of additions I think this guide could be very useful.
