It's not like we don't know he's a troll, I'm "feeding" him because I also find what he has to say very amusing. Plus, his last post was actually constructive so it's heading in a better direction.
Kyfoid, Centaur Warrunner is not the best mid hero, but that doesn't mean he cannot win against ranged mid heroes like, say, Queen of Pain and Puck. Although, the odds aren't always in your favor, ranged heroes that harass tend to be squishy, meaning Return has a greater effect on them than you on their ranged attacks. However, mid Centaur Warrunner tend to fail because the enemy mid will just harass you down with magical spells. So, never run a Centaur Warrunner mid, unless you know you're going to be up against a melee hero like Pudge and Magnus.
Let me solve this, Kyfold, 1v1 me mid only with ur centaur build. See how you do. Pudge and mag can still beat centaur as mag can shockwave spam and pudge has high hp and his hook.
There are quite a few common mid-lane heroes who suck at actually laning solo, like Sand King or Tidehunter or Tiny or Invoker or the grandfather of all ****ty last hitting ability, Zeus. That said, the thing they have in common is that they require fast levels. That's the advantage of a solo lane. Centaur Warrunner doesn't need levels. He certainly can't lose from them, but even with his strength growth it's a super-situational pick at best.
I've never seen a SK or Tide mid lane before. Invoker isn't that bad now that hes been buffed and Tiny has some presence with his burst damage. Zeus has his Q to last hit as well. The problem with having a zeus or invoker is ganking. The reason Centaur can't lane is that he is kited so hard without set up even if he is tanky. As you said, he doesnt benefit from levels and can't gank other lanes without a rune or his ulti.
SK is good mid,what are you talking about?Max that Caustic Finale and see for yourself.Hit each creep then Burrowstrike if one is about to die.You clear off the waves super easy and if an enemy tries to harass,don't get scared,just hit each enemy creep once and Burrowstrike.
The problem with SK and Centaur is how easily they are zoned out of the lane. Anyone who is ranged can absolutely slam either one of them, because everything about them pretty much requires that someone set up an initiation for them, particularly before their ults come into play.
