According to Lolalytics Seraphine's pick rate in mid lane is roughly 20% and her win rate is 46,24 %. Her pick rate as a support is 76 % and win rate is 48,35%.
It would seem Seraphine is another one of these mages whose support role overshadows her mid role even though it was specifically stated that her primary role was supposed to be mid.
Currently I see no reason to pick her in mid instead of support. Who would've thought that a champion with innate synergy with other champions in form of her e and passive would be played mainly in a lane with another champion? With Seraphine Riot is presented with the classic dilemma of these dual role mages: If you buff her mid laning it almost always results of her support role becoming broken.
I'm just so tired of feeling bad for picking these mages in mid because I know it's suboptimal. Especially in my elo (Diamond 2) picking my favourite champion Lux is always a struggle due to her lack of wave clear. With Seraphine I hoped I could get "a viable version of Lux" which I could play in good conscience but I'm once again left with nothing but disappointment.
Sorry for the rant.
