Quick Snips: An Introduction on early game Trading & Potion usage

As a mid laner, it always seems that the most basic ideas are the hardest ones to master. In this video, I look to explain the importance of effective early game trading. Using only spell casts to effectively trade, especially at lower levels, will see your mana bar run out before their health bar shows any sign of  trade, due to the nature of starting items in Season 3. With most mid laners picking up a Flask, ward and 5 potions of either Mana or Health, your own mana becomes a much more valuable resource. Using too much mana for level 1-3 harass, although safe, will be fully covered with a single health potion.

I also take a look at the importance of when to use each type of potion and talk about a specific 'Sweet Spot' of health you should get your opponent to. If you keep him around 75%-80% of his maximum health until your spells get stronger, trading becomes more potent and you might even be able to capitalize once you hit level 6, instantly killing off the enemy.  Check out the video below for the full run down.
