Who are some good mid laners for ranked 5s

Best at Malzahar

I like to play in the mid lane. He counters champions like and preety hard with how his shield works. Though this is for close range mids. Against champs like brand he is a poor pick but yeah if you like the ability to just stay in fights for a REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLY long time then go for . He is cheap and easy to learn as well

I hate saying it, but I will anyway. Look at the pros and see what they play. They are essentially ranked 5's and are picked for a reason.
