(These are just my opinions, by the way. Sorry if you disagree with them, but this is just what I think is and isn't my favorite, which is the hardest or easiest, or which is the most over powered)

What is your favorite mid laner?

Probably Ahri or Azir.

Who do you think are the most op?

Currently Zed. He has a lot of mobility(yes, I know I listed a champ above who has three dashes as their ult. But she goes off of mana and doesn't have such a large poke range), and his ult makes it possible to tower-dive and don't get me started on him + item 3147.

Also what champs are the easiest and who are the hardest?

The hardest, in my opinion, would probably be Azir. Although I've almost got him mastered at this point, he was a tough ~~bastard ~~ to learn, and he had no mobility. But once I learned him, I was a bane in the mid-lane. Another person in the same boat with Azir is Viktor. Those two easily top the list.

For the easiest...Katarina

Don't get me wrong; I love playing her, and she has received some hefty nerfs, she still seems to be an okay choice.

Who is the most fun in your opinion?

Ahri. That moment when you hit Charm and get in your combo is just so satisfying.

My favorite midlaners vary based on my mood, but I typically go for Velkoz for the fun trick shots, Quinn if I want to not care about my lane, Karma since she can work in pretty much any comp, and Zyra for the army of plants. I wouldn't really say any midlaners are all that OP, it's more that most midlane champions are terrifying in the right hands (and often useless in the wrong hands).

For ease of play, Ryze and Annie both fit the bill, and it's also not too hard to figure out Chogath, Karma, or Vladimir. As for the harder ones, Zed, Ekko, Anivia, Syndra, and especially Azir all have rather high skill ceilings to reach.

There's plenty of options to use in the midlane, so just work with whoever you find to be fun. For the record, I enjoy playing Anivia as a support over a midlaner.

What is your favorite mid laner?

Orianna Nidalee, Gragas, and Ekko were up there too before they got turned into junglers (Ekko mid is still good though). Even if they were still strong midlaners, Orianna would probably still be my favorite.

Who do you think are the most op?

Ahri Zed, Fizz, and LeBlanc are annoying and just seem to out-kit a lot of other champions with the sheer amount of mobility they have, but ever since they gave Ahri a MS boost on her Q, she just feels like she has everything on her kit. Azir also has a ridiculous kit, but no one's really mastered him so...

Also what champs are the easiest and who are the hardest?

Easiest: Morgana Malzahar Annie I played Morgana and Annie for a while, they are pretty easy to pick up, but have a lot more depth once you get into it (ie. Black Shield usage on Morgana and managing spell rotations for stuns and microing Tibbers on Annie). Never really played Malz, but from what I understand, you just drop E on a minion and walk away.

Hardest: Azir He's very micro-intensive and also requires a lot of awareness and game knowledge to use to his fullest extent. If you know how to play champions that control more than one unit (Annie with Tibbers, Orianna) he's a bit more manageable to pick up. Ryze is also deceptively difficult to master, just with the awareness you need to keep your stacks at the right number, and adjusting which combo you're using depending on your stack count to maximize your passive, etc. etc. Making one or two mistakes with your combo can really screw your cooldowns for the rest of your combo.

Who is the most fun in your opinion?

Orianna Orianna turns the game into a chess match, and it's beautiful. Zed, Lulu, Azir, and LeBlanc all have this to a degree, but Orianna, in my mind, is perfect (I sound like Corin Reveck)

if you want to play an AD Assassin just play talon because, he's so easy to use and he can just win lane without much. Only thing is, he has no sustain but if you get 1 kill you will start going off and it will be easy from there, just make sure to roam bot now for AP Assassins i recommend katarina or akali ; pretty much just hit level six either roam bot or just kill your lane opponent hope this helped

I play Brand Kayle Azir Viktor . Brand can bully the lane and when you have all 3 abilitys available you can go for a kill with EQW combo if the enemy has around half Health. throw an ignite for insurance and he get really strong with item 3116 and item 3151. Kayle can bully the lane as well with her E but its best to just farm safely until you get item 3115 where she obtains a power spike and once you get item 3124 you get another power spike. withitem 3124 she becomes very powerful but stack management on the item 3124 can become difficult if your not used to it and the best part is that her ultimate is great for protecting the people that are carrying the team. Azir and Viktor are similar in that they deal huge damage in the late game with Viktor bieng the easier one to pick up.

I enjoy going Anivia mid. Good cc, burst damage, and if someone is annoying you, wall them. She has a high skill ceiling but is very fun when you get mechanics down.

My favorites are Ekko, Zed, and Yasuo. Honestly the strongest is whoever you can play the best (but Veigar has one of the biggest advantages against mages and melee). Mid lane is the outplay lane, with major jungler influence. The easiest is Veigar . (I hate a good Veigar ) The hardest are probably the 3 I put up. Melee champs against mostly ranged characters, I shudder. The most fun is my favorites, and then TwistedFate and Kassadin

I'll use my ranked champs (because what I play in norms is a total fustercluck).

Main: Azir. Now I say this tentatively, as I'm not the type of guy spams the same champ multiple games over and over very often. That said, he's my most played, highest mastery champion, so for all intents and purposes, he would be my main. However I wouldn't recommend him right now as he takes too long to scale.

Most effective: Talon. Talon was the second champion I played with any semblance of investment, so I've been playing him quite a while, and last week when I was trying to make plat (ended 50ish LP in gold I, RIP), I'd won most (if not all?) of the games I played him in (about 7-12?). He's by far the lowest mechanical skillcap champion in my pocket, but currently is the most effective.

Ekko and Kassadin: I used these 2 as counterpicks, and kass when I think I'd be able to scale before the game ends. Pretty OK right now. Syndra: I use her if I'm 1st pick sometimes or we need AP and Ekko or Kass don't seem likely.

Ziggs: I picked him up recently, so I'm not the best Ziggs player, but I feel he's pretty strong now. He basically does what Azir does but safer, although Azirs teamfight is notably superior.

And that's basically it. I wanna be able to play Ahri but for some reason I've always been trash on her. You could also learn Zed, but right now he's a perma-ban for me, he's too much work to deal with.

And that's my picks in a nutshell, for what it's worth.

veigar is really fun late game. especially if they have ap squishies on the other team. one shot is all it takes,

the strongest mid laner right now is probably this little b!tch Fizz

Malzahar Lux MorganaTalon these are pretty much the only Mid Laners i use, Malzahar is my main for mid. Lux and Morg are pretty easy, hit your root then do stuff to them. Malz is easy at lower levels but at higher levels he isn't so great since all it takes is 1300 gold and good teamwork with your jungler to shut him down. Talon is pretty easy at lower levels too, jump on them then press all your buttons and someone will die, but at higher levels he takes a lot more skill.

Xerath one of my favorite go tos.

hes insanely strong but i also land most of my spells. If you miss semi-frequently he will suck. but if you nail them no one can get near you, so that i think he is very strong, almost op if played correctly. Nothing like chunking 50% HP of something like a vayne from outside of her screen with 1 Q.

also what is nice is that bc his passive you don't really have mana problems. Wave clears amazing also
