i`m looking to aquire a new midlaner and these are the three that strike me the most for a few reasons, fisrt of all i love unique underplayed champions (this definetly excludes Ahri). I see very little play out of Malzahar, Lissandra, and Galio even though they seem like they could be meta or at least viable. The AP carrys i own currently are Viktor, Brand, Vladimir, Ryze, Kayle Gragas, Karma, and Zyra. none of these quite hit the mark and i often play them in other positions if at all. Im currently looking for someone that secapes the meta a bit while still having a decent skill cap with a good degree of viability.

now i will discuss points about each of these midlaners that jump out to me

Ahri-Ahri

  • poeple always seem to feed this champion when she is picked at low elo`s
  • Very strong lane poke
  • High burst
  • High skillcap
  • you suddenly find you are at half your HP and are soon to be turret dived singlehandedly if she lands that Charm
  • Heavily played

Malzahar-Malzahar

  • Underplayed
  • Tank Shredder
  • Strong Poke and sustain
  • Insane Ultimate that can set up for a kill easily
  • tons of CC
  • cool looking auto attacks
  • passive is cool but not extremely relevant to him
  • low mobility

Galio-Galio

  • very strong vs. heavy AP
  • Mages cant touch him
  • Very strong ultimate along with overall team utility
  • Extremely Underplayed
  • Simply isnt very effective against AD
  • Passive gives him a viable niche where he is effective which is against heavy AP. Not great for solo Q where AD is heavy i find

Lissandra-Lissandra

  • My current top contender
  • Tons of CC all over the place
  • Underplayed
  • high skillcap
  • mana conservative with passive
  • strong poke and all it
  • Ultimate can easily set up a kill or save and ally or self
  • Strong AOE
  • Has to be close to enemies for damage which is very strange for a squishy AP carry

First of all, thanks to whoever took the time to read this. Im looking for discussion over which one i should get and some more discussion on the pros and cons of these midlaners. Please keep it constructive :)

You have done a lot of thinking, and no one but you can ever tell you who to buy, just buy the one you think you will enjoy the most. I personally really enjoy malz, and dislike ahri, though I suck at her which is part(most) of why. I don'y play the other two,

Ahri is the most powerful, and she's really fun. Personally, Lissandra is my favorite, but she's not as powerful as Ahri. Galio is just a no, he's really UP. Malz is fun, but I find him to get boring.
