    iv been seeing that supports have been ganking mid less and less and even as carry i would tell them to go help other lanes they would say its not worth it even had a game vs an arc warden mid and asked the supports by saying that "1v1 meta now " should we start picking ricing cores mid since its not worth ganking anymore ?

      u still rotate mid if ur safe is okay and you have kill potential.why not. it doesnt happen if u havent won your safelane tho.

        Yes and no. Early kills mean nothing now so only gank if it means that you mid is going to make more xp from extra denies than he loses from you being there.

        However that doesn’t mean you should have a ricing mid because mid game control is crucial.

                if you totally zone the enemy offlaner you 100% leave the lane at some point after 6-7 minutes after you get levels from pulls. go to either lane depending where you are more likely to get a kill

                  this leaves other lanes vulnerable and sacrificing other lanes is so costly
                  so early rotations are rather uncommon now

                    Defensive teleports or if you pick up a kill rune. If not let your mid handle themself.

                      Guys you still rotate mid. You just don't prioritise mid and start mid with a trilane anymore.

                        Consider the lanes set up as 2-1-2. If a support leaves a lane to gank mid then that’s at least 2 waves that the sidelane core should not be allowed to farm. How much gold are they missing out on and compare that to what you get from a kill on mid (which isn’t guaranteed) and it’s clear that rotations mid (apart from counterganks) don’t make much sense at the moment.
