First off i dont know what you are saying, do you want an "Easy" or the "best" mid laner. You said both
easy- 
best- 
Best midlaners are 
, , , .
If you want an easy assassin pick up 
or 
.
ez assassins are katarina or akali, or talon, better midlaners that might be a bit harder are, vel, lux, brand, zed, azir, or yasuo
is the best mid laner right now. even if you fall behind you will probably have the same damage output as your lane opponent assuming they don't aren't TOO far ahead of you.
based on your criteria (easy to pick up, is an assassin, really good champion overall)
only since he's RIOTs poster child
Generally, AP nukers like and 
are fun and simple, and easy to carry with. But I could also suggest going for 
Good more map aware players.
Personally, I dislike the playstyle of assassins so I may not be much help to you.
Mid laners I do enjoy at the moment are:
His poke and waveclear make him extremely useful in sieges, his percentage health damage helps take down objectives and his ultimate is great for picking people off or engaging/disengaging teamfights.
Her lane-sustain and waveclear make her laning phase very safe, her Q is great for catching people out, her burst is deceptively high and she provides a lot of utility for her team.
Even if he hasn't been the strongest recently, I still love the guy. Once again, great poke and waveclear while his ultimate allows him to help out around the map. His Q is extremely easy to hit during the laning phase if your opponent decides to stand near their minions while his W and E provide a decent measure of safety.
While I've never played in Bronze, I do know that waveclear, poke and CC were extremely useful in my mid-Silver games last season. People would constantly group randomly around objectives while dancing back and forth until someone got caught out, so the ability to poke and engage/disengage while this occurs was quite valuable.
If you have your heart set on an assassin, I would probably recommend trying Kassadin.
- He has good match-ups post-6 against most mages
- His basic play-style is very straight-forward
- Players in lower ranks won't really know how to punish you properly during laning phase
- His W's passive simplifies last-hitting
He roams quite well and scales into a monster as the game progresses (though he is a little slow to get rolling), bursting target after target with his low CDs.
I vote .
If you're ahead on other midlaners you can stomp but it can still prove challenging to carry, and even if you can then you're just being an individual carrying instead of team carrying. Playing tf allows you to cover the entire map and carry the whole team. You have good waveclear, sustain, and pushing ability in your lane, and with your ult and teleport you can turn a losing bot/top/jungle skirmish into a winning state. You're one of the few mids that can split push and ult away to 5v4 if your opponent decides to intercept you. Once it gets to mid~late game, ult once, find a pick, and you auto win the game.
TL;DR most ppl in lower divions don't respect tf global presence so you can carry entire team with him.
So you lost lane against an Anivia as lb... okay
