The Crazy Antics does provide me with more of a midlane read. However , The easiest difference to see is in the backend. I tend to go to these balls when my stronger balls are reading the lane to early. If you want a ball that provides a good midlane read. Check out the N'S@NE Antics , Or the regular Antics. In a lower price point , the Disorder is a ton of ball. It also provides a strong midlane read.
