How To Dominate Mid LaneThe middle lane in League of Legends is special in its own way. It is the shortest distance between the Nexus of each team. As such, it means the champions playing in the middle tend to be the first to reach high levels compared to the top or bottom lanes. The champion that reaches level 6 first gains access to their ultimate ability, allowing them greater firepower should any team fights happen. This is the main reason why you’ll commonly see mages (or AP champions) in the middle lane — their ultimate spells are momentum shifters.
If you want to learn how to play in the middle lane, I’d suggest starting off with champions like Morgana or Lux. Alternatively, check out James’ beginner guide to playing Annie. They all offer spells that can snare opponents and abilities that allow you to safely farm minions with little risk. The ultimate abilities of both champions are incredibly powerful and can be used to inflict tons of damage to other champions quickly. Most mid lane champions tend to rely heavily on mana as their resource. You’ll frequently see players using a combination of either Flash and Ignite (to help finish off opponents) or Flash and Teleport (for that extra mobility around the map). Here are a number of tips you can apply to excel in the middle lane
