[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vishra My current buy order on mid champions is as follows: Karthus, Swain, Cassiopeia, Anivia, Ryze Right now I have access to 3 of the top tier champions in Morgana, Ahri, and Vlad, but I definitely haven't mastered any of them. Morgana needs the most work, and I need to make sure I work on my positioning in team fights more often, as well as pull my weight on moving around during laning phase. With LeBlanc and Morg I've been doing that more, but I should be able to push a lane up and go gank another lane several times during laning phase. I also need to work on not getting frustrated against matchups I hate, such as Heimer. I thought I did better yesterday when I had to play against one, so I do think that's an improvement.[/quote] Vista I mained as AP Mid when I was at your level too, and I feel your pain. There was several champions that I COULD NOT, under any circumstances, beat, and I hated them for that. The champions I hated the most were easily Cass and Malzahar. Both annoyed me and I never felt like I could beat them. My mentality was, if you cant beat em, join em, so I ended up buying the champions I hated. However, as I got more confident of controlling my own champions, and learning how to play them more effectively, I begun to turn the tides. As your knowledge of other champions expand, you'll be able to counter them better. You'll soon master your champs and will be dominating. I think you're already quite good with Vlad, and you may even be better with Ahri. You need work on Morg, though I believe that's because you just haven't learned her yet. She is a sustain champion, much like Vlad. Unless fed, she does not have any burst/nuke ability to kill any champions quickly. She does more overall team damage than one on one damage, especially with her ult and pool. If you play her correctly, you also don't have to worry a lot about ganks. Her shield breaks CC and withstands most damage from AP mids. This is my skill sequence with Morg; 1 point in bind at level 1, max last. Max pool first then shield. Always go Rod of Ages first, then Id recommend a Deathcap or a Zhonyas. They should always be your first two items after Rod of Ages. After that it's situational. As for boots, I usually always go Sorcerors Shoes. In the end, a good Morg is one who lands her binds well, outfarms mid lane hard (pool makes it easy), avoids ganks and protects herself/other champs with OP shield, and knows how/when to flash, shield, ult, Zhonyas the other team. As for Leblanc (I know, still not done), she was my first AP Mid Main. She is extremely dangerous early to mid game, and you should utilize that. Leblanc should always gank whenever possible to make her more fed. You seem to understand her combos well enough, but don't forget that your ult doesn't have to be used with your q. You can replicate a w for a second flash to get in battle or to get out, or a second chain to slow at tank who is trying to escape and they just will not die. Just remember to gank a lot and if you're getting fed get a Majaes Soulstealser. Leblanc scales with those very quickly. Finally, in team fights, never expose yourself. Leblanc is not really a carry, but more of an assassin. After your team is tanking/fighting, get in, get a quick nuke kill, and get out. If you stick around, you will die. Pull back out and wait for cooldowns to refresh before jumping back in.
