Mid lane priority and roaming

Mid lane has the shortest path to every other lane. Priority is not just about killing the enemy mid; it is about being the first to move when the map opens up.

Push before you roam

Roaming before shoving the wave costs you mid farm and lets the enemy take your tower. Clear the wave, then move through the river. Even if you do not get a kill, your presence forces the side lane to respect you.

Roam toward the play, not away from lane

Random ganks are coin flips. Look at jungle tracking, objective timers, and which side lane is overextended. Roaming toward a scuttle fight or a stacked wave creates real advantages instead of wasting time.

Return before the next wave

The goal of roaming is to help your team without losing mid. If you stay too long and the enemy clears two waves under your tower, the roam was not worth it. inflect.gg tracks objective posture so you can see whether your mid roams led to dragons, towers, or empty ganks.
