User blog comment:Doo2you/Nocturne as Mid/@comment-5119009-20120529233218

He can certainly push with the best of them. Duskbringer and his passive allow him to clear creep waves in an instant. And, without a practical escape he is better off mid if he has to take a lane. Furthermore, like you've mentioned, his spell shield helps him immensely versus AP champs who typically go mid. I'd say the main thing with this idea is making sure you have a tanky AP top and/or jungler if you send him mid. I think it's a perfectly viable idea.
