When this first happened we all like nice triple kill, it wasn't until I uploaded it to LoL Replay that we saw the full extent of how troll this triple kill was. We were all like omgwtfbbq there is no way you got away killing them with that amount of HP, but yet as you can see KonArti$t is living up to his namesake.

At Band of Scrubs we're not just all about the FPS games, there are members that play other genres. So here is the first of hopefully many videos created from League of Legends. This clip is brought to you from KonArti$t and it's a Shaco triple kill...............with a twist.

How to play mid lane on League of Legends.
This is not a champion guide per say but it is a guide to playing mid
written by myself. May be due to edits with new champions and stuff so
if I think it warrants it I will edit it and watch this space. Otherwise
enjoy.

1. What is mid lane?
It provides some of the biggest amount of farm and champion kills out of the lanes and as a result is quite important to play mid solidly enough to capitalize on and take advantage of as the game progress to mid late. In this guide I aim to give some general ideas and outline some concepts that maybe familiar or not so either way, I aim to provide a greater understanding of the mechanics of mid specifically.
Please note before I progress with this article/guide. This will not make you better at your champion or suddenly become a God at mid lane. What this guide aims to do is to teach you the fundamentals of playing mid well, if you can understand these concepts and put what I write here into practice you should be well on your way to improving your mid ability. If I mention things later on in the guide that you dont know the meaning of I will leave a glossary in the bottom. Then if I have not mentioned it in the glossary ask me about it and I will clarify. Now onto the more interesting things.
2. What is your Objective in mid lane?
Generally speaking your objective in mid varies dependent upon the type of champion you play whilst all the champions generally speaking want a good level of farm and some early game kills. Essentially the cusp of this is that you want to out gear your opponent and be able to turn the game for your team mates as you must remember in LoL your team is only as strong as its weakest link.
2i. For mages and assassins what is your role?
Generally speaking assassins do not farm well but make up for this in killing power. The one exception to this rule is vayne who farms astronomically well. But she falls under both umbrellas she needs the farm of a Phys damage carry but can face stomp like an assassin once she gets a bit of gold under her belt. For mages in the early game in mid they struggle to farm because their abilities are simply costing too much mana to be farming with. So as a result you must last hit well or try and gain an xp or LVL advantage upon your opponent whether that be via a kill on them or forcing them off the lane.
The comment about last hitting is true for carries and mages and assassins, however assassins are a little more forgiving at a lower level because they can sacrifice some farm for kills. A prime example for this would be Le Blanc, her farming is notoriously terrible, however her burst is nearly unrivalled early game. This allows you to possibly kill your opponent in the mid and you can sacrifice some farm for this. However if your familiar with LB you will know that actually her attack animation flies very quickly making last hitting fairly simple. Essentially speaking what I am saying is that as casters you are a bit more flexible in what you can do in the mid lane.
2ii. Phys damage carries what is your role?
Generally speaking phys damage carries like Ashe caitlyn tristana, corki etc need a fair amount of farm to become effective and they become able to "Carry" through the farm that they get. So playing mid lane with one of these champs is more difficult naturally than a mage because your damage is not early game you scale better as the game goes on and it’s important to remember this. Think of building a carry like building a house, if you dont have any foundations (farm) your house will just crumble like a stack of cards. For this reason I cannot stress enough how important last hits are as a phys carry. Whilst the Metagame at lower skill levels in EU servers are more geared towards killing than free farm you can’t ignore farming as a carry if you do thats what lands you 0 5 0 or 1/3/12 as a carry. Whilst you can harrass in mid as caitlyn or ashe quite well you can do so but do not neglect your farm as previously mentioned it will make or break your game most of the time.
2iii. Last hitting.
In the two previous parts to the guide I emphasize the importance of last hitting creeps. some of you may be thinking well what are you talking about. In short last hitting is just getting the last hit on a creep to get the gold. Some champs are better than it than others but that comes with the game. The art of good last hitting is getting a decent idea of how much damage your creeps will do the opposing creeps and how much damage your auto attacks are doing, and knowing how fast your auto attack will fly to the target. Knowing these 3 things allows last hitting to become a lot easier, you must take heed of these regardless of the champ you play mid with. Also do not be discouraged if you miss some minions when ironing out this technique. It will come with the territory although I would recommend you stick with one champion until you master the last hitting with it and then maybe move on if you don’t like how it harrasses or plays in mid lane which is what I leave up to you. Last hitting is just as important in the side lanes aswell as the mid lanes so do not think last hitting is just confined to mid.
