hay all:

I've been struggling with the Mid lane lately. It's really taken me by surprise since I used to be pretty good with it, and after a few weeks out of the game I come back to it and find out that I am losing my lane, regularly. in fact its gotten so bad that I am probably better at Jungling and ADC, which I would have considered to be my two weakest areas before this break I took.

So what changed?

That's pretty easily said for someone who didn't spend a fair bit of time away from the game to say.

Nothing changed? there were two patches while I was out. A lot has changed. One of the patches changed the cost of Dring, so does that mean I am not opening effectively anymore? Are my old mastery sets not as good anymore? Why is it that harassing seems to be gone from gameplay? It seems like straight up aggression now.

I haven't been able to win a mid lane yet since I returned from my break, and even Top lanes are more difficult for me now.

The only thing I can tell is that you really need some time to get your head back into the game after a break, and that can take some time. There have been no major changes for mid lane over the most recent patches. I don't see too much people open Dorans on most champs even though I'm figuring it is okay, but that cannot be the reason why you lose lanes terribly.

maybe...

I guess that would explain how my ADC and Jungling seem to have gotten better, since with ADCs I have a support with me and with jungling it isn't a direct duel. It's also hard to tell if my supporting has suffered since tat goes up or down based on the ADC as well...

interesting patterns are coming around for me to look at...

Most of matches in mid are friendly farming unless there's a gank and whoever gets lvl 6 first just 100-0s the enemy in silver 1 level

Well in the bronze tier, I guess it wouldn't be that different. So I guess the biggest change was the the new jungle then. Most often I'm staying longer than usual to get the smiteless leash. I guess not every jungler has this down yet and they still smite blue.

i never help jungler more than and ability use, so i don't miss xp, and what changed in mid is the now predominance of stuff like kha'zix, zed and jayce that can outperform classic ap picks.

Yeah when I go mid I use a spell and an auto then either botlane(purple) or top (blue) leashes the rest
