Anti-magic middle

There seems to be a lot of potential of playing a solo lane god with early magic protection item in mid lane for strong mid lane dominance.

Pair this with a mage in solo lane for high variant opening?

Mages tend to be strong in solo....

Only god i’ve seen picked to bully some gods early in Mid with early magic defense (not earlier than boots and/or trans) is Chaac, and even then, I don’t recommend it. Bruiser/tank gods in Mid is a very rare thing to see in Competitive Smite.

Also Mages need farm (Mid has more farm than Solo) for items and such so you generally also put them Mid.

And if I was a Mage Mid I would just build Breastplate in my build and Chaac loses a lot of his lane bully relevance (around mid game). And then once you have Reaver and Percent Pen online he gets shredded.

Shutdown....

Lol but honestly I think you're overlooking the strategic factor.

Every time I see a mage go solo they demolish solo, kill tower, and go middle to mop up middle.

The "numbers" just dont matter in those circumstances.

There's very few warriors I can think of that can hold against a mage very well.


Also a good ah Muzen cab


I saw one of them in solo destroy the two towers in like 10min.

And it wasnt aagainst a total noob either.


I tried it and got wrecked. Just a good Ah Muzen cab

So your personal anecdotes, for what im assuming is casual conquest, you're saying it proves the pick is good? Because things like Anubis Solo stomp inexperienced players / noobs.

in most cases you see this happening the solo player is probably playing like he is playing against a warrior.

Compared to a normal lane, in this case, they need to play a bit more passive until their defense item is up. After this, they can actually start to win trades with most mages/adc. Another thing is that mages in solo are super gankable so it's risky to invade the blue on their own while the warrior player can.
