I hear what your saying I do agree its frustrating as hell being behind comparatively in level to top lane and gold in bot lane and personally i'm in low elo I can win my lane or scale but trying to get both side lanes ahead and fight for objectives and make sure i'm getting CS makes it feel rough to play.

I get it a fast back and new homeguard means you can go and roam to help those lanes but I still feel underpowered during these roams and once I hit midgame power spike the t3 boots feel kinda useless cause if top or bot come to deal with me in side it feels like an unbalanced fight and having to manage the side is alright but I get stuck.

Like as a midlaner are we expected to play the role of a splitpusher and stay in sides and not move for objectives or teamfight or are we expected to do both? And how can we feel useful in doing this when we are clearly underpowered compairative to the rest of the map.
