Looking At Potential Champions For the Next "Big Middle Lane Champions"
MIDDLE LANE Back when Kassadin lost his silence, who came into the meta for Assassins? LeBlanc because she had a silence and better burst damage. Then her silence was removed and who came in to replace her? Talon, because he was the only remaining "true assassin" with a silence. Now he has had his removed so who will be next in the Middle Lane Silence montage. My thoughts tell me a couple things...
Ahri will be rising up to be a top pick again due to her 2 second hard crowd control with enhanced damage.
Malzahar MAY rise due to his extremely long silence and early dueling potential. He also goes really well against popular picks such as Yasuo, Ahri, and Zed since all he has to do is click one button to stop their combo. He can also bypass Yasuo's Wind Wall with all of his spells.
Maybe? Possibly? Will His 2.5 second stun, burst playstyle get noticed? Probably not, but he has a chance.
Who doesn't like infinite sustain and one button press to end or prevent a wombo combo from Zed and other Middle Lane Assassins? He also gets free tankiness with damage and an amazing team fight ultimate, making him a really good potential pick for those with fast reflexes and good "shot calling".
I'm not just posting these for you guys to consider, I am also posting these so any Rioters potentially reading might want to keep an eye on when
Syndra is inevitably toned down a bit along with some others.

are also contenders for both mid and top lane.
