Mid Lane Tier List – Best champions for LoL Patch 14.4

Mid lane has always been one of the best roles to climb the ranked ladder in LoL. Yet, the role’s importance fell off in the past years, becoming more of an enabling role rather than a carry one. This season, however, the trend reverted once again: carry mages are back and ready to take over. To save you time in finding out who you should be playing, find out the best picks in our LoL mid lane tier list.

These Are The best Mid laners for Patch 14.4

5. Katarina – The meta killer

Even though she is usually played by OTPs (one-trick-ponies, for those who are not familiar), Katarina is one of the strongest mid laners. She is a great counter pick to most meta champions who happen to be for a large majority of immobile mages: all she has to do is find the right opportunities to punish them as soon as they step over the limit. Don’t blind pick super early in champion select, though, or you’ll get countered.

4. Aurelion Sol – the hotfix wasn’t enough

Aurelion Sol became the most OP champion in Patch 14.3 when Riot accidentally over buffed his kit. Despite the hotfix in the last patch, he still continues to be one of the best solo queue picks. The game pace is much slower and it gives room for late-game mages like Asol to reach his power spikes. Play a slow game and then you’ll find the right opportunity to show in the teamfights and extended skirmishes.

3. Ahri – the evergreen pick

Evergreen champions are always bound to stay relevant in League of Legends and Ahri is one of the few mid laners that fall into this category. Even though the new itemization didn’t really help her out, players have quickly found a new item build that includes Lich Bane. This item greatly increases her damage output, which doesn’t need to rely on hitting abilities as much. All she has to do is proc the item’s passive by auto-attacking in between spell casts. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I must say I was proven wrong.

2. Sylas – powerful ultimates? They are all mine.

Whenever champions with powerful ultimates are meta, Sylas is always bound to have his own saying. And with the amount of AoE ultimates in the game across different roles, Sylas has a great time abusing them.

He is also more mobile than most mid lane champions, allowing him to quickly get into their face and make aggressive trades during the laning phase. As long as you have decent fundamentals, you should have no issues winning on this pick.

1. Twisted Fate – it’s time to take control

As much as I enjoy seeing great Twisted Fate gameplays, the mid lane champion is a bit far too powerful nowadays. His ability to be flexed across different roles with two different builds makes him extremely annoying to play against. Not to mention that he ensures unrivaled map presence.

Whether it’s scouting enemies’ movements, helping exert side lane pressure, or looking for flanks, Twisted Fate can do far too many things in the current meta. And despite the nerfs, we should still expect him to be the no. 1 pick in the mid lane.
