In the current times, mid lane plays the pivotal role in the objective of winning a game. The central position on the map tasks laners with winning the 1v1 matchup, as well as a host of other objectives as well. A good mid laner has to join skirmishes, go for invades, and roam around the map. This amount of responsibility stakes a lot in the hands of mid laners.
To make sure we stack the odds in our favor, today we are gonna take a look at the highest win rate top tier mid lane picks!
Mid Lane Tierlist – Highest Win Rate Picks
Anivia
Riot has recently introduced a major change in pricing for all items. The change has pushed some champions to the bottom, while some champions like Anivia started thriving. Currently, Anivia stands as the strongest mid laner across almost any elo, and she is unlikely to become much weaker any time soon.
To have success with this pick, you will want to play a safe early game focused on getting the most CS possible. As the game progresses, you will want to take calculated fights to extend your lead. Finally, in the later game, you will have all the essential items purchased making it easy to close out the game.
Hwei
Hwei is another pick that has become increasingly difficult to deal with. He is somewhat hard to learn, but once the muscle memory sets in, you will be able to pose a significant threat to your enemies. What makes Hwei strong is the incredible versatility of his kit. He is able to deal with a variety of situations by simply pressing a different combination of buttons. His strength is amplified by very above average late game damage ratios.
Kennen
Despite not seeing much presence and popularity in the past, Kennen has now become one of the strongest mid lane bullies. The champion is simply too strong to contend with because there are no real ways of defeating him. He can safely farm, poke, and scale in the lane. When the fights start happening on the map, Kennen can significantly damage multiple enemies with his AOE damage.
Sylas
Sylas is another strong and consistent mid lane pick. Ever since his release, he has held a stable place in the mid lane meta, rarely if ever placing below A tier. He can win most duels, has incredible damage, and enough healing to sustain through the lane. In skirmishes, he can win most 2v2’s due to his CC, and other qualities mentioned previously.
Vex
Vex is a strong mid lane pick across elos, but she is most deadly in the brackets below Diamond. Her high damage, high range abilities allow her to target squishies and eliminate them in seconds. Vex also has powerful resets in her kit, which allow her to take down multiple targets one she gets going.
Yasuo
Yasuo is probably the weakest of all the champs we have mentioned so far, but he is the top of the mid lane lists when it comes to AD champs, and he had to be included for the sake of diversity. Yasuo is particularly strong when itemized with some tankier items in mind. These allow him for a much higher sustain, which allows him to spend more time in combat with squishier targets.
Final Thoughts
In the current state of things, the mid lane meta is dominated by AP champions that can hold their own in the mid and the early game, and whose strongest point is the late game. To have success with them, it’s important to play a safe and calculated early game, with the goal of reaching the late game loaded with OP items.
