Yeah, I don't enjoy going mid. I feel like it's probably the best place from which to pubstomp, though.
I think, if you can make your opponent go back (from bursting him from high) then quickly push your lane and run bottom or top (if one of them is pushed to your team's tower), it might be a good idea.
But take that with less than a grain of salt, because I tend to never play in a lane that leaves for ganks.
