Since they're nerfing shen i kinda want to stay away from top lane now since that was the only champ i actually liked playing, but since im an adc main its kind of rough because you dont always get adc so id like to be atleast decent when i do ranked..

I've been playing a lot of but imo her damage is really fuckin low to me. I know its not supposed to be extremely high but i dont think i can respect it being where its at. Maybe im building wrong?

Im thinking of even tho she has a high skill cap, is fine too? im not trying kassadin imo hes too weak right now mains out there? could use some coaching on her but her damage seems really bad too in terms of how hard it is to get it off

but id like zyra tbh shes fun.

Any advice?

You are def building Ahri wrong if you are doing little damage. Her q is her main damage source, if you hit it twice it will do quite a lot of damage. Cass is really good, but shes mana heavy early if you decide to poke a lot, Shes extremely easy to farm with and a late game monster, but she has low mobility and medium range. Morg is good, but you have to get up close and personal to do a lot of damage. Kassadin is actually quite good if you can play and build him correctly. I don't play Zyra, so i wouldn't know about that.

I was in the same position before.

I used to play Jungle/Top, but I found that I stopped enjoying top-lane as the meta changed. As such, I decided to change my secondary to mid-lane and had to find a few reliable mid-laners for when I needed to fill the role.

Personally, the following champions are the ones who I believe would be good picks to learn and who I would recommend you try.

Lux A very safe mid-laner due to her shield, CC and range. Even if you fall behind, you have the utility to remain extremely useful and if you get ahead, you can burst down most targets rather easily.

Ahri Very mobile champion with pretty much everything you would want in a mid-laner (mobility, burst, CC, waveclear, sustain). She's pretty much always a good option if you know how to play her and she's never really been weak since her rework.

Ziggs Ziggs is great at zone-control and poke/waveclearing. These traits make him a monstrous champion when fighting in the jungle or during sieges while his range and safety make him very difficult to deny farm once he has some mana regen.

Orianna High learning curve but she is very flexible, provides great utility and sustained damage, and has a fantastic teamfighting ultimate. She's great at trading in lane and farming, letting you safely and reliably establish a lead even if you aren't killing your opponent.

Jayce A somewhat less common pick, but very powerful when played properly. He has the tools to handle pretty much everything in his kit and he can adapt to most match-ups. While you don't always want an AD mid-laner, I'd recommend having him as a back-up champion for when you need one (i.e. AP top and AP jungle).

Viktor Very flexible, powerful and has a decent amount of utility. His waveclear and poke are fantastic, he has good sustained damage, and his in-fight durability and mobility are pretty nice.
