50 1v1 mid winstreak and you're gucci.

and if anyone comments ''but muh realizm, no suppertz rotatienz"

if you want to teach your baby how to run, you don't put it on a track pad

teach it how to crawl first, then walk, THEN run.

Middle lane is simply the hardest role. It requires perfection. I can dumpster sub-4k players middle, but I get wrecked by anyone above 4k.

The only way is to make mistakes and identify them, hence many games are required.

i mean, i did develop a couple positioning and behavior theories to answer that. but they're annoyingly complex and incomplete

but they work me well if the enemy laner is up to 7k mmr

Generally I play storm mid and I lose the lane like 80% of the time, however most games I'm able to comeback with kills and jungle so thats why i've got a decent winrate with storm

How to beat symetrical in 1v1?

not many melee heroes beat a monkey 1v1, you can't trade with him rightclicks directly unless you're ranged

so unless you're ranged or you have a stun+nuke(ex tony) you can only farm in that lane at best(pulling creep aggro like a bitch)

edit: changed monkey to symetrical :p

editt: symetrical has a lot of weaknesses, he's careless when it comes to laning and he misses a lot of detail

and he farms passively and puts very little aggression if you start out aggressive yourself.
