the thing about mid lane is that you can pull off ganks much easier than any other lane, this is becuase there are more viable entrances to mid then there are to top and bottom. another problem is that mid lane doesn't get enough warning, as top and bottom can get an early warning from a ward in the tribush and rirver. so having a ward in the river bushes won't help you that much, since most times it is already too late.

a good idea is to place your wards in positions where you can track their jungler rather than know he is coming, spots like that would include

1. the ramp leading to wraith camp

2. the bush that leads down from blue buff, just beyond the river bush

try to watch their jungler and do your best to know where they will be at all times, (left or right side of jungle) and position yourself accordingly

another thing about mid is that, contrary to the other lanes (most of the time) is that a fight starts and ends in an instant, you either explode, or they do. try to understand if you can win a fight or not, and use any advantage you can get (ranged vs melee, low cooldowns vs high cooldowns, ect)

if you can't beat your opponent, shove like a bitch, and gank somewhere. mid has the best position for ganking, being right in the MIDdle of the map
