Not that many other youtubers on my server, and I'm not sure how many hours total I'd have played but I would guess I've played at least 20k games if not more

You poke them while slowpushing the wave, crashing 2nd or 3d wave. Then poke them under tower and when the wave bounces back to you, you respect them and stay back as they will hit lvl 4 earlier in a bounce. Basically TLDR- Respect the assassin on the wave bounce and neglect them from roaming with slowpushing

You have to becarefull of ganks like this tho

​@@unendingdespair alright thanks for your insight

​@@unendingdespair The ganking aspect is the most frustrating part of this imo. If enemy jungle plays around their assassin mid you can't punish them properly wave 2/3/4 (or worse, they kill you) and then your lane is essentially unwinnable since the assassin wil typically always be miles ahead just by going equal after level 6 / first base. So at that point I think you just try to afk waveclear with whatever safe poke you can do, push wave when you know they roam, and play to win through grouping and teamfighting. If you do manage to get in poke it can be really really huge, because many assassins can't quite all-in you when they are low. You can't win 1v1, but you can deny them the win 1v1 and they *have* to win 1v1 to be nearly as useful. Also be hyperaware if you have any spells that shut down the all-in (Vladimir W, Veigar E, Syndra E) and almost always hold them to deny engages. Case in point, I played Aurelion Sol into Zed yesterday, tried to pressure him level 2, got a few super good trades but got ganked and lost flash and died. From that point on the lane is literally totally over - Zed just pokes with W for ~40% of my HP and then dives me on repeat under tower with R. That's just life playing a mage. I think you have to get a ward in early enough not to die to 3 camp mid gank, lean that side and accept that if the enemy jungler shows up your window to push a win in the 1v1 is lost. The only two asterixes to add to this is that whilst your 1v1 is very bad you should watch your jungle and support, because they might help you and if they do it can be really strong and you can just kill the enemy mid. The other asterix is that in the vast majority of games the enemy assassin will make mistakes that you can punish hard with range advantage, so even though on paper it's nothing to do in the 1v1 you have to be on the lookout for and know to recognize when they make mistakes and punish. Anyways that is just my take :)

@@theWebWizrd I think thats a pretty accurate take, to allow to slowpush you need a decent ward and it is also matchup dependet. e.g. if they have shaco jungle, you can never slowpush because he will show up and one tab you. Important is though that one keep in mind that mid lane is not a 1v1 lane in many games and consider the other variables when thinking about wave management in that specific matchup aswell

He streams sometime after 5pm est i ithink. Caught a couple of them in the evenings and nights

It's a bit random at the moment I'm afraid...

first strike for scaling and good overall, if u want to bully in lane comet electrocute and especially aery are good too, they are more early game focused i also usually go first strike in most matchups

Comet for mage vs mage, phase rush if you need the mobility vs ganking jg/supps, first strike if you can get away with it

@@ShokLeague Thank you for clarifying, glorious king Shok

Hmm I mean if it's not fun I would stop playing. Otherwise I'd recommend just going through my fundamental videos and trying to learn 1 skill at a time. I'll be doing unranked to masters soon too so that could show you some of the ways to carry in lower elo.

@@ShokLeague Thanks Shok, I think I'll start again next split and do just drafts focussing on fundamentals for the remainder of this one.

If your games usually end in 15-20 minutes then imo you are not stabilizing the game, then you are playing in a way that actively destabilizes the game and that makes early game more significant. According to Leagueofgraphs the average gametime for a gold game including surrenders is 30 minutes (and essentially the same for plat), and when you are playing Anivia you should be very actively trying to make the game go longer. So that means to focus more on clearing waves to deny enemy team to get towers, it means not doing crazy all-ins and not fighting objectives when behind. In my opinion mages generally don't do that well in the early game, but I would play something more oriented towards roaming and skirmishing and that plays well with one item. I would look at Ahri, Taliyah, Diana, Lissandra, Zoe, Neeko, Vex in that order personally for the current meta

@@theWebWizrd ty so much

Typically things that build Ludens over seraphs/roa will be stronger earlier. imo Anivia can definitely carry soloq though

Ludens is probably better than seraphs now about the buff, shadowflame isn't really viable if you have multiple AP champs on your team because they will buy MR too quickly

@@ShokLeague if you’re multiple ap should you still go ludens over blackfire or something? what would your secondary item be? thanks btw!

He is bad only good in low elos

Good for low elo for sure

It's overall a better item because of the extra AP (which synergizes with 120 syndra stacks + dcap) and for the shield. The build path is worse though so you shouldn't build it every game.

I don't hear it
