Patch 16.10, 16.11, 16.7, 16.8, 16.956 of 172 champions719,214 matches analyzed

The current top performers for Mid lane include Tier S champions like Katarina, Syndra, and Malzahar. Yasuo and Ahri are also strong contenders categorized in Tier A based on high pick rates and performance. This list is derived from a large sample of 58,961 matches played in the Platinum+ bracket on Patch 16.2.1.

Ahri and Malzahar lead the pack with the highest win rate of 51.1 percent among the top champions. Syndra is close behind with a 50.6 percent win rate, followed by Yasuo at 50.1 percent. These figures are notable as they all sit above the average mid lane win rate of 48.63 percent.

Ahri is one of the safest blind picks due to her high 51.1 percent win rate and low 2.0 percent ban rate, ensuring she is often available. Syndra is another reliable choice with a Tier S ranking and a moderate 7.0 percent ban rate. Other top picks like Yasuo and Katarina are less safe as blind options because they are banned in over 15 percent of games.

Champions like Malzahar and Syndra are currently dominant because they maintain win rates above 50.6 percent while occupying the Tier S bracket. The high pick rates for Yasuo and Katarina suggest these champions have strong carry potential that players in Platinum+ can effectively exploit. Overall, these top picks provide more consistency than the average champion in the 171-character pool.

It is recommended to review this tier list every patch to stay informed on shifts in win rates and ban priorities. Since this data covers over 117,905 games, it provides a statistically significant look at which champions are currently succeeding. Updating your pool when a champion drops below the 48.63 percent average win rate can help maintain your climbing momentum.

With 171 champions listed, many have much lower pick rates than Yasuo's 10.9 percent, but they can still be viable niche picks. While Tier S champions are generally more reliable for ranking up, specialized players may find success on lower-presence champions. However, you should monitor if their win rates are competitive compared to the 51.1 percent seen on top-tier picks like Ahri.

Tier placements like S and A are determined by a mix of win rate, pick rate, and ban rate to show overall champion strength. For example, Yasuo is Tier A despite a high 17.7 percent ban rate because his 10.9 percent pick rate and 50.1 percent win rate remain very high. High ban rates usually signal that a champion is a priority threat that many players prefer not to face in their matches.
