Stereotypical noob question

DrTinkles·May 31, 2015·1 votes·345 views

Lately I have been enjoying enjoying playing mid with mage champions and I have decided I would like to get a new champion for this endeavor. However, this has presented me with a problem that I must now ask a question that I'm sure gets asked a lot. Which champion do I get?

My problem is that I can't seem to find a decent mid champion who has what I liked. All I need is 3 things: Range CC And at least one escape move (love ezreal e)

Am I asking for too much? Or am I just missing the obvious choice?

So many mid champions have those 3 elements. You really need to be more specific about your playstyle or our replies will be rather vague. Here's just a few that skims the surface of what you could include:

What do you mean by range? How much range? Can you give us a champion so we can have a visual example?
Do you consider slow as a cc? Like what about a champ with only a slow?
Any escape? Would you consider a champ like Morg with her E an escape? Or are you referring to an actual dash or "teleport".
Your playstyle: Aggressive, safe, rather farm, early, late game? etc
You rather single target or teamfights?
Are any champions to be taken into consideration? Some bruisers, along with assassins, mages can all go mid. Do you mean just an assassin?
Non-meta ok?

By range I mean ranged basic attacks and spells with good range.

Slow is the lowest form of cc but I could consider it.

I think of escape as a mobility spell of some sort whether it be a flash or just a movement speed boost.

I'm a rather safe player, but I'm adatable enough to play many ways. I prefer late game and I'm not a huge farmer.

I like team fights.

I like mages. Casting spells from fat away.

Non-meta is fine. I will make it meta :)

And lissandra looks best but what do you mean about her range bring weird?

There's one champion that kept popping up in my mind and that champion is Morgana.

Disgusting amount of CC : 3 second bind, AOE stun on ultimate.
Long rage with her Q and W
Does NOT have an escape, BUT she can E herself which prevents her from getting hit from CC. This means that when she gets ganked she can just walk back under turret safely.
Master of teamfights thanks to her AOE damaging ultimate AND CC. This excludes her Q which can make initiations even easier.
She's a passive champion overall. You just farm early, no stress. Late game you still just try to play passive by trying to land your Q, but always be on the lookout for a ult + zhonias (more aggressive at that point).

She hardly has any counters. You just throw your W on the caster minions to kill them early on. With a bit of AP and maxed W, one spell cast on all of the minions can kill them, while you can just sit under turret :P

Other champs that I would see working out to some extend (they match most of your description): Lissandra Anivia Xerath TwistedFate Velkoz Ziggs

Lissandra though her range is a bit weird to get used to at first

Her claw is, though a bit slow, a very very good escape move, her entire kit is CC, (Q slows, w freezes them in place if they're near you, e is a claw that you teleport to depending on where you tell it to go, ulti is hard CC that can be self casted to save yourself or on an enemy) she's very safe and farms very well. She's CC heavy so she fits into a lot of comps so I would say Lissandra is someone you may enjoy.

So you want a champ like Ahri Azir Ekko Fizz Kennen Lissandra Riven Zed .

I looked at Ahri and he is also interesting but idk how I feel about her mobility skill being her ultimate skill and so not available often. But I can certainly try her. Azir also seems interesting but hard. It would seem that he relies on his slow for his cc but he does have that ultimate of his.
