Awaken the Path
Thanks so much, I just finished a game as Zyra and carried hard, with about 3//4ths of Malhazar's CS all game too... lol. I think mid is my new favorite role in solo, but I prefer support or ADC in duo.Do better. Preferably not as support.
Very few teams, even there, are too heavy. That won't stop them from being really heavy.
Carry and Mid are probably the strongest positions, but only if you can play the roles (I assume nothing if you are 1100). As the carry, you have to be able to position and focus. Most enemy teams at that level won't focus correctly until it is too late. However, if you play top timidly and don't get the auto attacks that you have to be putting out in team fights, it's impossible to carry as AD. Learn to CS, learn to team fight. This, despite being a simple role, is probably the most ****ed up at that level.
As mid, you have to win hard or be playing someone who scales like a mother ****er and win anyway (crush them in CS with someone like Karthus and I'm not talking Veigar). You can't be outplayed and you have to be aware of your opponent's jungler because getting gabled can turn the tide too far. It's imperative to be ahead so that it's easier to go and help other lanes. The mid is extrememly strong and many teams are not aware enough to deal with you roaming with your level advantage. If there is action in bot lane, you should be en route to pick up the pieces if it goes sour or, preferably, turn it around.
In general, WARD THE DAMN MAP! No one's gonna do it for you and if you ***** about wards no one will listen. Remind people, ask for specific places to be warded by specific people and by a ward every single time you go back. The ward is more important than that sixth slot blue crystal.
Past that, take charge. You win a team fight at bottom? Do dragon (another major reason that mid and bot are powerful is Dragon). Late game you see two people show up bottom? Make the baron call immediately. Your team going to do something stupid or is that Pantheon trying to make a call you don't like? Retreat ping like a mad man and prove that you won't be a part of his suicide run next time. This means your calls must be better than there's though, as being a coward at the wrong time is just as likely to throw the game.
Last thing for now, have an effect everywhere. Mid should roam at 1100 in most scenarios. No matter how far you are (past bottom to top lane situations in laning phase, but not the reverse necessarily) go to where the action is. Better you get there late and be unable to do anything and have to retreat than to miss an opportunity to pick up a double and win the fight. I swear it doesn't take as long as you think to get there. If you carry, go mid or top when you take bot tower or maybe before. Take your support and jungler and go take their blue when it's up. Force down mid before they can repond, but be the first team to group up and stay grouped thereafter, even if that means following your Morgana to mid when she just wants to farm and turning it into a siege.
More later (wrt support especially), but I hope that helps, Krys.
And I know what you mean by wards, I buy at least 2 every other B I do so that I can ward their blue / river on top if I'm purple and bottom if I'm blue.
Our soraka didn't ward for **** but she healed us really good. So I had to ward a bit, and as a mid that takes away from build but hey I was buying them greens every other B anyways XD
