Sett Mid Laning Plan
Sett is a lane bully: trade early and often, push the advantage, and turn the gold lead into the first item spike. On average Sett Mid is 338 gold ahead of the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in 59% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 69% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 16%. Sett averages 1.32 solo kills by 15 minutes.

Sett Mid and Late Game
What Sett does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Side-lane pressure pays: Sett rates 94/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Sett soaks damage well (percentile 83): stand between the enemy and your carries.
- Sett is a main damage source (82/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
- Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Sett rates 75/100 for objective control.
- Sett wins 1.7 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
