There are five Roles that you can play in League of Legends, like Toplaner, Jungler, Midlaner, Attack Damage Carry (ADC), and Support. In this article, the writer will give you tricks to play as a Midlaner in League of Legends. Not only pinpointed on choosing Champion, but also about trading damage, warding, roaming, and other things. Curious already? Let’s check it out!

5. Choosing the Champion

Before we’re going to the gameplay section, you better understand the Champion type that you select as the Midlaner in League of Legends first. There are two types of champions that usually chosen by players, and they are Mage and Assassin. These two champions have massive damage output, so it will make it easier to clean the wave.

Assassin and Mage only differ in their basic attack. Assassins have short basic attack range, meanwhile, Mage is the opposite. As a result, Assassin players often must rely on their skill to get the last hit.

Even the Midlaner is identical with these heroes, but it’s also possible if Midlane filled with Marksman. But not all marksman can fill this position, it’s preferred a marksman with a high clearing wave, like Varus, Ezreal, Tristana, Corki, and Lucian.

4. Spell Selection

Going to the second point, Midlaner in League of Legends has many options on using Spells. Unlike Toplaner, who relied too much on Teleport and Flash, Midlaner must be able to adapt with the Champion’s characteristics you used and the enemy you face as well.

• Flash and Ignite: These Spells can be used if you want to give pressure on enemies, Flash can be used to escape or to give shock attack, while Ignite serves as the finishing if the damage produced still cannot take down the enemy.
• Flash and Barrier, Exhaust, Teleport, Heal, or Cleanse: This Spell combination is used if you want to play more passively and careful. Barrier, Exhaust, and Heal are suitable for you who face deadly assassins like Zed and Talon. Teleport can be used if you feel you will receive many damages from enemies and losing in the lane. Cleanse will be useful if you face the enemy Midlaner and Jungler, who have various CC skills.

3. How to Trading in the Lane

Trading is the crucial key to your victory in the lane. One thing that you need to remember when you want to trade in the lane is the range of the auto-attack. You must know more in-depth with how far your Champion can attack enemies by using the auto-attack only. The further the auto-attack range is, the easier to win during trading.

In the second step on trading, you can use Champion’s skill. On Champion’s skill, you must understand three things, and they are a range, cooldown, and skill form (can penetrate minions or not).

• Skill Range: Skill with far distance will facilitate you to poke enemy’s HP;
• Skill Cooldown: You must pay attention to your cooldown skill, so you can prioritize which skill that you must to unleash first.
• Skill Form: Some skills can penetrate minions, and some cannot. Skills that cannot penetrate minions can be avoided easily by opponents, so use it wisely. You also have to pay attention to minions’ HP before using the skill -- to not losing the last hit.

2. How to Ward on Midlane

Ward is an item in League of Legends to enlighten the dark areas on the map. Midlane itself located on the center of the map, so you have to be wary of Jungler’s attack that appears from Toplane or Botlane. 

At the beginning of the game, you can only have one Ward to enlighten areas on the map, so you have to play at the side with Ward on it. For example, if you place the Ward on Bush at Toplane, play it on Toplane, and avoid the opposite lane.

Make sure to purchase Control Ward to avoid Jungler’s sudden attacks as well as helping Jungler’s duty to gank. Don’t forget to upgrade your Ward to become Farsight Alteration or Oracle Lens.

• Oracle Lens used to clean the enemy’s Ward and very useful for Assassin or Mage with high aggressivity.
• Farsight Alteration used to give light with very long distance, suitable for Mage with poke type.

1. How to Roam in Midlane

Another advantage of a Midlaner in League of Legends is the freedom to roam. Having this freedom doesn’t mean that you can move freely on the map. There are essential points that you have to understand before roaming.

The first point is the Minion waves. Before roaming, make sure that you already clean the wave from minions first. Clean the minion wave faster than your enemy to gain momentum.

The second point is situation understanding. Before roaming and ganking to Toplane or Botlane, make sure your teammate’s HP and Mana already suffice to kill the enemy’s hero easier. You can also ask other information to them, like the enemy’s Flash usage, to make sure if it’s already used or not.
