Well you got advantages and disadvantages to play mid compared to lane.
As mid I feel your aren't as pressured as you are then you play lane because you can depend on your team more allowing you to save money for tank, getting for example hunter at 15 min can often Win the game.
If you however try this on lane you will probably be outfarmed and lose the lane.
Mid is often the place if you want to see low hp tanks for easy kills, some players even seams to mainly focus their money on getting early kills then they play mid.
If you die in mid is often not as a big of a deal as die at lane.
If you got good teamwork you will probably dominate mid.
However mid is also harder in many ways.
Less creeps per player mening lane players on average should be stronger then mid players.
Lanes often need mid to help mening its very important as mid players too look at the map, even more so then lane players.
More enemies means much more nuking is possible which can kill you very quick, at lane you seldom needs to worry as much about abillites as mid.
Also there is more tanks per creep making you more dependent on other things then creeps to survive.
Depending on your team farming at mid may be very easy to very hard, very often it haspens that one or two players outfarm the rest making for very strong tanks and very weak tanks.
If you got weak mid players while opponents are good you will face very overfeed players this can happen at lane to but its much easier to face one overfeed player then 3.
Mid is allso the lane that tend to suffer if you got leaver, 1 vs 3 is not easy at all but lane players will often help you out.
I would say that lane and mid offers complety different game:
Mid allows you to do more risky savings and get more kills and sometimes even farm more, however you got more responsibility and can get killed very easy to.
In my experience I tend to die more att mid then I do at lane however I tend to get more kills to.
Why I say mid is harder has little about winning its is all about responsibillity, thats why mid is so hard.

However mid is somewhat easier and safer to tank rush which is likley one of the best things to do as mid.
However right now so many players look at stats and mid is not to play if you care about stats.
But its far more impressive to beat mid then to beat a lane.
mid is way easier to play than lane btw 3 opponents dont just mean that there are 3 enemies to kill you but you have 3 enemies to kill also. Mainly because you are up against less skilled opponents. this is something that will never change at this point because of the way the game is played atm
Saying that average mid player is worse then average lane play may be true because of all these lane only über pros who likley would fail totaly at mid, not to say many of these got horrible late games then its actually team vs team.
It just way harder to show of in mid compared to lane, but its not just to say mid = 3 enemies to kill.
Lane = 1 enemy to kill.
Mid got more enemies to kill = easier.
If mid is way easier because of less skilled opponents, its also probably way harder then opponents is skilled, even more if your teammates are not that good.
Take the best lane players, its possible to figth them decently, think now how insanly hard it can be if 3 of the best mid players are in a team, espacially if you got the short end of the stick.

Well maybe time to test some tank rush if you play mid, they seams to work pretty well, for example today I was in mid as a 4 player team with my teammate tinker hull no weapon.
I had demo bow and acctualy farmed straight to hunter.
Somehow the enemy mid could not exploit that we had no weapon to damage them with and then I got hunter we started to come back and acctualy won even with my mid teammate not being good.
