I love playing in the Mid Lane. Almost all of the champions that I love belong in the Mid Lane. Champions that go there can burst or nuke enemy champions and can gank other lanes. Almost all Mid Lane Champions are squishy. A lot of the champion I bring to the Mid Lane are Assassins. Here are the three types of Mid Champions: Poke, Burst, Sustain. I read this from the website SoloMid.Net.

Burst Champions can do a lot of damage in a short time period. They are often melee or have a short range. Their damage usually falls of late game and are hard to play because you can get poked a lot. Examples are Zed, Ahri, Talon, Fizz, Diana, Ryze, and LeBlanc.

Poke Champions can deal damage from a distance and are safe from harass. The usually have a long auto-attack range or long ranged spells. They usually have to poke the enemy down then finish them off. Examples are Twisted Fate, Orianna, Ziggs, Zyra, Kog'Maw, Anivia, Lux, and Lissandra.

Sustain Champions can stay in their lane for really long time and can stand poke. Some champions can keep their mana or health up for a long time. Some them have good crowd control and are a bit tanky. Examples are Galio, Cho'Gath, Gragas, LeeSin, Vladimir, Swain, and Morgana.

As the Mid Laner you should be ganking other lanes. Before ganking, you should push the creeps until the enemy's tower so he misses experience and gold. The first Mid tower is one of the most important towers to take down because it can deny more enemy vision.

Playing in the Mid Lane is really fun. I would recommend Ahri, Ziggs, Anivia, and Twisted Fate because their easy to learn and fun to play. Hope you enjoyed my article!

Champions That Can Carry You To Diamond

There are over 100 champions in League of Legends. Almost all champions can be used in a Ranked Game but there are some that can really be game changing. Here are some champions that I think are really useful and powerful in Ranked Games.

Ezreal

Ezreal is by far my favorite champion in League of Legends. He has a lot of damage and poke. He is a god at kiting once you get your Iceborn Gauntlet / Frozen Fist. In my opinion, he is the best AD Carry in the game. All of his abilities are skill-shots, so if you don't hit them you're basically useless. He also uses up a lot of mana, so buying an early Tear of the Goddess is very useful if you're ahead. You can also turn it into a Muramana when it's fully stacked. He is a little weak early but once it's late game you can burst the enemy squishies.

Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix is one of the best Assassins in the game. He can actually evolve three of his abilities and through out the match once you get a point in your ultimate. I usually evolve my (Q)Taste Their Fear first because it can do a lot of damage to low and isolated targets. After that, I usually evolve my (E)Leap so it can reset once I get a kill or assist. I usually evolve my (R)Void Assault so I can activate it three times and get reduced damage. Kha'Zix is best played in the Top Lane. You can also play him in the Mid Lane or the Jungle. He is very mana hungry, so buying a Tear of the Goddess can help. He is also very vulnerable once he has no Leap and he is very squishy. He is a great duelist and can get in and out of fights.

Zed

Zed has one of the biggest burst potential in the game. He can 100-0 someone in 2 seconds. Zed is kinda hard because he has a very high skill-cap and you have to utilize your shadow very well. I play him in the Mid Lane because he can burst the AP Carry once he is level 6. You have to play very safe before level 6 because if your enemy laner is ranged, you can get poked a lot and possibly die. As Zed, you want an early gank from your Jungler and you should try to kill the enemy laner even if you have to waste your Flash. First Blood is very important on Zed because you have to snowball to be very powerful.

Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate is one of my favorite champion in the game. He has a lot of burst once you get items. He can gank really well once he is level 6. He has great mana sustain because of his Blue Card and a stun from his Gold Card. He has long ranged poke and you can bust someone by only using two abilities. The problem is that once he has used his Q and W, he sort of useless for 5 seconds. He can apply a lot of map pressure and gain a little bit more gold due to his passive.

Lee Sin
Lee Sin is such an overpowered champion right now. He deals high damage, durable, and very slippery. I usually play him in the Top Lane or in the Jungle. He has great ganks and can escape or chase somebody very easily. He can create a lot of combos because you can activate your basic abilities two times. He is very hard to use and I recommend playing on Smartcast so you can pull off them sick combos better. You need a lot of practice with him and you have to properly use your passive so you don't lose a lot of energy.

PLAY YOUR FAVORITE CHAMPION! If you're good at Nautilus Jungle, then use him! Play your favorite role if you get to. Play champions that you know how to play. Try one of the champions I recommended in a normal game. If you like the champion you tried, then practice! Hope you enjoyed my guide!

Ranked Struggle and Some Helpful Tips

Sorry I haven't posted in a month because I was really busy and I had to do a lot of stuff. I just reached level 30 two weeks ago. I used my favorite champion Ezreal, and I won my first game and went 11/5/12. The following games were really bad and I lost 6 times in a row. After that, I bought Blitzcrank and I thought I going to end up in Bronze 4 or something after 4 games, so I played him in a Ranked Game. We actually won and I had so much fun playing support and I received endless praise from my teammates and kept saying " Nice Hook'' or "Good job Blitz for warding the map :D". I played Blitzcrank for 4 games straight and ended up in Bronze 1!

Here are some tips to cope up with Ranked Struggle:

1. Try to practice 5 champions that fit into each roles.
- This is such a great tip because a lot of people fight in Champion Select because some people fight over particular roles. So if you're the last one who has to pick and you're stuck as the Jungler, at least you have some one to use.

The 5 champions that I pick are:
ADC - Ezreal
Support - Blitzcrank
Jungle - Lee Sin, Fiddlesticks, Jarvan, Shaco
Mid - Ahri or Zed
Top - Kha'zix, Garen, Rumble, Jayce, Wukong

2. Try playing with a friend.
-This helps a lot because both of you have more teammwork and communication.
If your friend is far away try talking through Skype. It's better if one of you plays Support and the other one plays ADC. Me and my friends do this and we take turns playing Support and ADC.

3.Try Summoner School
-This is something my Mom showed me and it really my gameplay. It shows you what you should in teamfights, communication, what to do and what not to do, and many more!

I hope this article helps you deal with Ranked Struggle. It's normal to get demoted and have bad games, but with practice and teamwork, you can reach Diamond!!!!
