Patch 10.10 will bring some slight changes to the mid lane and while most champions will remain untouched, we could still see some new picks emerge in this position.
Riot Games' lead gameplay designer, Mark Yetter, has released the intended changes we will most likely see in patch 10.10. After our best picks for the top lane , we've now prepared a list of the best mid lane champions you should play.
S tier:
- Fizz
- Diana
Diana will get a decent HP nerf which won't significant enough to make her drop down in our tier list. Along with Fizz, she'll still be the strongest champion you can pick in the mid lane across most of the ranks.
A tier:
- Syndra
- Kassadin
- Orianna
- Ekko
- LeBlanc
- Qiyana
- Neeko
- Vladimir
- Cassiopeia
- Lissandra
- Annie
- Talon
- Zoe
We've put Annie in the A tier thanks to all the buffs she's about to get to her Molten Shield (E) and Summon: Tibbers (R). She will probably be the strongest mid lane champion for Silver and the ranks below as she already has incredible damage with range being the only thing missing in her kit.
B tier:
- Corki
- Malzahar
- Katarina
- Yasuo
- Zilean
- Azir
- Ornn
- Ahri
- Zed
- Twisted Fate
- Sylas
- Galio
Twisted Fate will get his base AD increased from 50 to 52 which isn't a massive buff in itself, but it's an interesting change considering that a standard card deck has 52 cards. Nice touch, balance team.
C tier:
- Lissandra
- Taliyah
- Veigar
- Mordekaiser
- Xerath
- Rumble
- Irelia
- Sett
- Wukong
- Ryze
- Aurelion Sol
- Viktor
- Soraka
Soraka will get some additional buffs that could make her a viable mid lane champion in certain team compositions. We've even seen Fnatic's Nemesis playing mid lane Soraka on a number of occasions, mostly on LS's initiative, to be fair.
