Mid Lane Tier List

Below is a Mid Lane tier ranking covering every champion picked in the role, built from live ranked data on patch 16.13.1: win rate, pick rate, and how many games each number is drawn from. Currently leading the meta are Ahri, Sylas, Locke, Syndra and Katarina. Ahri tops the role with a 51.2% win rate over 139,589 logged games. Mid laners control much of the map, so roam timing and wave management count for as much as burst damage; the tiers reward champions who turn lane pressure into victories.

Placement comes from three inputs: win rate (weighted 55%), pick rate as a measure of meta presence (30%), and sample size, which keeps tiny-sample outliers in check (15%). Champions with under 100 recorded games are grouped under Low Data instead of receiving a rank. Treat this as a statistical snapshot rather than an official verdict: a B-tier pick played well by a skilled player can outperform an S+ champion nobody has practiced. Each entry links to the champion’s current build (items, runes, skill order) and counter guide, and both update every 48 hours from the same dataset, keeping tier, build and matchup data aligned to the same patch.
