The Wonders of Mid Lane

So I've been playing mid lane as much as I can recently (Which is about 3 days this week.) and I've realised something. Mid lane is very confusing at times. I mean yeah for the most part you're in the lane mainly to pressure the other mid laner back under tower and clear out mid camps. But the fact is when it comes to mid game you can be a pivotal point to succeeding in anything whether it be a gank or gold fury/fire giant. Now some mid laners can be great at ganking such as
Janus with his
Through Space and Time whereas some aren't the best (I would say
Anubis but he can do well if he catches them off guard.) but if you fail a gank you could cost more then just your death but maybe even your ADC/Supports death which is not needed.
So for the TL;DR section, basically mid lane is a very important role and should mainly be played with mages that can:
-Clear wave fast
-Can easily gank
-Have a safe means of escape
But anyway, I'm Sodsboy and I hope you have a good day.

Some are more useful for their CC like Agni, Eset, or Janus (his banish is no joke).
Others are purely damage and do very freaking well at it, like Scylla or Kukulkan.
Ganks just depends. A mage can gank as well, but not very early on. That's a junglers job if anything. Mages should be in the teamfights for their AoE potential.
