Riot Games' lead gameplay designer, Mark Yetter, has released the intended changes we will most likely see in patch 10.9. 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
Even though Fizz and Diana have been dominating the mid lane for a couple of patches now, it seems like the balance team is satisfied with their current place in the meta since no nerfs are coming their way in 10.9.
A tier:
- Cassiopeia
- Kassadin
- Neeko
- Vladimir
- Talon
- Zoe
- Orianna
- Ekko
- LeBlanc
- Qiyana
- Lissandra
- Syndra
The recent buffs to Orianna resulted in her being the strongest control mage in the game at the moment. She saw a significant increase in both play rate and win rate.
B tier:
- Zed
- Katarina
- TwistedFate
- Sylas
- Galio
- Yasuo
- Corki
- Malzahar
- Zilean
- Annie
- Azir
- Ornn
- Ahri
Zilean got moved to the B tier thanks to the fact that he currently holds the highest win rate for the mid lane with a staggering 55.41 per cent for Platinum and the ranks above.
C tier:
- Irelia
- Sett
- Wukong
- Ryze
- Taliyah
- Veigar
- Vel'Koz
- Lissandra
- Xerath
- Rumble
- Mordekaiser
- Aurelion Sol
- Viktor
The list is made for Diamond and the ranks below, therefore you should avoid picking anyone we haven't named here since there are champions with similar kits and playstyles, but with a greater impact overall.
