Thats if you're fighting a melee or short ranged mage.

If the mid laner is an assassin, or anything long ranged you're in trouble. People like Zyra, Anivia, Lux, Twisted Fate, Jayce etc are not going to let you get into range if they can just farm from a safe distance and stop your advances.

There aren't many assassins, but its safe to say that a Lee Sin, Zed and Khazix will punish you more than you can them for entering range.
