Okay, let’s dive into the mid lane tier list I’ve been working on. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m excited to share my findings with you all.
First off, I started by gathering a ton of data. I mean, I was drowning in stats! I looked at win rates, pick rates, ban rates, you name it. I spent hours on different websites, checking out what the pros were saying, and even watched a bunch of live streams just to see how these champs were performing in real-time. This was time-consuming, no doubt, but it gave me a good starting point.
Then, I jumped into the game myself. It was time to get my hands dirty. I played a bunch of matches with different mid laners, trying to get a feel for each one. Some games I crushed it, other games I got totally stomped. I even tried out champs that were considered “off-meta” just to see if they had any hidden potential. Let me tell you, there were some surprises!
- Experimenting with the “S Tier”: These are the champions that are supposedly the best of the best. For instance, I played a lot with Lee Sin, since he’s considered the greatest. I get why now. He’s just so versatile – played him top, jungle, and mid, and he dominated in all of them. It really felt like I was a one-man army sometimes. I also tried out Zed, and man, his outplay potential is insane!
- Diving into the “A Tier”: I tested out champions like Cassi and Viktor. They are strong and can definitely hold their own in the mid lane. Viktor’s laser show is super satisfying, and Cassi’s ability to just melt people is crazy.
- Checking out the “B Tier”: I was curious about Aurora. She’s got a decent win rate, but she’s not super popular. Turns out, she’s pretty good against Smolder, Yone, and Azir. But, she definitely struggled against Aurelion Sol, Veigar, and Malzahar. So, she’s a bit of a situational pick, I’d say.
- Trying out the “lower tiers”: I know these champs aren’t considered top-tier, but I wanted to see for myself. I spent a good amount of time trying out champs that most people don’t even consider. It was a mixed bag, to be honest. Sometimes I found some hidden gems, other times it was just a painful reminder of why they’re not popular.
After all that playing, I started crunching the numbers again. I compared my own experiences with the data I collected earlier. This helped me fine-tune my rankings and really understand the strengths and weaknesses of each champion. It was a lot of back-and-forth, tweaking things here and there, until I finally had a list that I felt good about.
My Conclusion
Putting together this mid lane tier list was a serious grind, but it was also super rewarding. It really gave me a deeper understanding of the game and the champions. I learned that sometimes the data doesn’t tell the whole story, and that personal experience can make a big difference. And hey, I even discovered a few new favorite champions along the way! I hope this helps you dominate the mid lane. Good luck out there, and have fun experimenting!
