Who is an OP mid laner?

Cameron7401·Oct 14, 2016·2 votes·4,379 views

I'm a player who recently hit lvl 30. I haven't played ranked yet because the season is coming to an end. Also I only have 1 champion above lvl 3 mastery. Zed. I don't want to play ranked with only one champ at lvl 5 because the champ that I have at lvl 5 is frequently banned. So I was looking for some mid Laners, because that's what I main, to get better at and have as an alternative to Zed. Also a couple ADC's would be helpful to since that is my secondary. Thanks in advance to anyone who comments.

Ahri Morgana Syndra Leblanc Cassiopeia Lux

These are the easier to play and more OP midlaners. Highly recommend Syndra. She's just a beast right now.

Other good midlaners depending on who you're against: AurelionSol Akali Ezreal Heimerdinger Ziggs Zilean Zyra Annie Vladimir Anivia

Each of these champs have a "combo" to figure out and a laning style to learn. Once you figure them out, they're ALL very strong.

I gotta agree with you on this list, if you learn those OP midlaners then you can definitely climb in ranked.

I 100% agree, but I stopped playing Lux since she has kinda sucked in recent patches.

Mid:

Syndra
Annie
Ahri Adc:
Vayne
Caitlyn
Miss Fortune

They are all amazingly strong, they don't punish your mistakes too much and are mostly easy.

Draven

I'm guessing this is for ADC? I have Draven but I dont know how to properly play him.

. I like Anivia and since you like zed Fizz if you want to be completely op then Syndra or Vladimir

I am working on fizz, he has lvl 2 mastery as I just picked him up like 3 days ago. Syndra I have as well but I havent played any pvp games yet.

Fizz is definitely a good assasin, i played him for a while, i highly recomend using syndra because she is op and is relatively easy, also if you want a adc i play mid/adc as well and like ezreal and varus

Galio easily beats every AP middle laner except Kayle

Pros:

Most people don't know anything about Galio and underestimate him.
At level 18 his full combo does 1260 + 218% AP magic damage. For a comparison, Lux does 990 + 205% AP magic damage
His shield gives 90 MR, 90 armor, and 45 AP and heals Galio for about 900-1200 at max level using a normal build making it so Galio can literally tank a tower forever.
If he hits 3 or more enemies with his ult it is pretty much GG as seen in this video.

If you aren't brain dead, you will never die once you have 4+ items simply because how tanky you are which can also be seen in the above video.

Cons:

He is extremely mana starved until he gets
He is melee in middle lane making it difficult to farm early game if you aren't experienced with him. It is no longer an issue for me because I have used him so much and know how to deal with the poke.
Learning when not to use his Ult takes a long time because probably around 75% of the champions in the game can stop his Ult from channeling. You have to bait out the CC abilities or be sure to hit everyone who can stop it.

Syndra Syndra Syndra SYNDRA IS BROKEN AS HELL

Infinite harass. Easy kit. Point and click 1000+ damage R

Smart call avoiding Ranked right off. From personal experience (and those who ignored the advice posting here) you'll be ready for Ranked about a year from now. Level 30 sadly means nothing as far as Ranked preparedness goes.

I personally like Xerath Mid. He takes a lot of practice positioning to do well with, but that's something you'll want to learn if you're going Mid anyway.

Thank you. I wanted to stay away from the ranked aspect for now. I want to know how to play the game and understand it a bit more before I start playing competitively. Thanks for your post!

I would do the same thing DrCyanide suggested. I started playing this game right before the season started and was bronze for months and it was infuriating. I scraped my way up to gold and quit playing ranked. You wont make any of the rewards of this season unless you start out high silver just because of how long the grind takes. Dont stress yourself out for no rewards. I've been playing normals and for a bit now and forgot how fun it was to just try different champs and not really care about the result. Go into every game and practice something YOU want to get better at. I dont ff in losses because learning how to play when an enemy or two is fed seems like a good skill to have. Learning how to ward and just flat out avoid certain champs is very helpful in winning games. Learn how to farm, practice other skills, and just enjoy the game before trying ranked. If you dont know what most of the champions abilities do, it isnt a good idea to start ranked. TLDR Practice, Practice, Practice. Itll make the climb easier and thats what ranked is about. Seeing how far you get on your own skill/game knowledge
