How about an item that summons a movable ward that reduces all damage received and deals dps? The ward could take a few hits to destroy and it would build from Vlads so that unused item has an upgrade path.

Sometimes your role as a mid can be a support that gets important levels early. Use your ult to win the side lanes, group up with your team to push with your aura, snowball from there. Even if things go to poo poo and all lanes are lost, you have a useful kit.

I feel like if I tried that, with the poor range and mediocre damage I'd just get out-harassed & denied and be super behind on levels.

Venge was played mid in pro games shortly after she got her stun duration buffed. with blight stone and wave of terror, she bullies people incredibly hard.

Some other mid options: Tiny, Night Stalker, Death Prophet/Nature's Profit. NP is interesting since it's so easy to be in side lanes making a mess

Didn't realize timber would be good mid.. I spammed ten or fifteen games in the offlane so that looks nice. I've played a few huskar and really sort of sucked at it, armlet is for big brains. Timber and death prophet I think will be juicy and dp in particular can be a good pick when they've got a beefy team that I'm sort of missing with my current roster. Thx lads ancient here I come

try huskar, one of the hardest mid heroes to play. not because of the laning phase because if you're A) against a melee hero B) against most ranged heroes you have a freewin lane, the challenge is figuring out why, after dominating your lane so hard the other person jungles at level 4, you still lose the game because you got ganked one time midgame

I've gone 10/2 my last 12 games. I'm really getting my grove. We lost the last game because infuriatingly our Offlane DK went Safelane at min 1 (after getting a nice first blood) and competed with our AM for CS. The P5 all chatted to please leave, but eventually he just came to offlane where I was, but since I was 2v1, I had a terrible first few minutes. Eventually the AM got the hint and came bottom, but not until he was only lvl 6 at 15 min. Me and the Storm Mid held out valiantly but the DK and AM just kept competing for who could farm the least. Both were herald V, and ended the game with less combined NW than our P5 shaman. What a disasterous 45 min game. I really thought storm and I could keep it together, but the AM and DK didn't buy any items (well AM had SnY and DK had a Mage Slayer at 30 minutes) but you know.

Alright, I don't l like to double post we just slapped in this game, our team names were on point: 1) HugeDragon -> safelane Sven 2) A Rat -> Offlane Doom 3) Literally a Dog -> p4 hoodwink (me) 4) Dinosaur888 -> p5 jakiro The mid was a luna with out a cool name We just made animal noises in all chat the entire game. referring to ourselves and Team Spirit Animals. We absolutely dumpstered them. I really like Dota2.

On the flip side I just had one of those games that just makes you  Me [CM of course] + a Juggernaut vs Abba-Earth Shaker. Every single time Abba would pre-emptively Shield and run at us, so I could Frostbite him and then Jugg just... runs away. We push down a few of their T2's, whole team agrees to back off and Rosh... Jugg TPs to farm Mid. Just one of those games of the Carry playing their own game and we 100% lose because of it.

We even got two lanes of racks but our Luna with no items just kept running and dying over and over. Even a few times when I saved her and got her out, she'd run back in with 1hp and die. What a game.We were even 5/4 since their p5 disconnected, but the gold advantage it gave them was just too much.

I can't even. Also lol I had a veno game where I went 2/17/40 and dealt like 35000 damage. I'd run in, get Ult/Gale/Wards, and immediately die but still kill almost team wipe them.

At low MMR no one realizes how much damage is going on. If you get all your spells off it doesn't matter if you die you get 100% contribution.

On the flip side, don't neglect how much gold and XP the wards can give the enemy early, when they're at lvl1-2 and easy to kill. I don't find many players who pay attention enough to farm them at my MMR. (about 2-2.1k) I used to love when veno's Gale spawned two wards on hit though. That poo poo was so fun, but very OP. Probably deservedly removed. Have been cranking along with my 1-2 game habit every other night or so, when my usual duo's partner is online. Mostly enjoying Lion finally being pretty powerful, my training has finally paid off, when he's not banned. I feel like the current patch is difficult on offlane, or something about my skill is lacking. It really feels like you need to dominate the carry in lane, or they all come out monstrously fast and take all your outer towers (Seeing a lot of troll, aggressive void, life stealer). Playing some viper to counter has worked decently well, but the mage slayer nerfs hurt him. Appreciate any offlane thoughts from better carries.

Super nintendo user, you would probably appreciate the ability draft mode if you have never tried it. People tend to have a nicer attitude I've noticed and it can be a good way to learn better just some key skills in a way that will help you avoid/counter them.
