Patch 16.10, 16.11, 16.7, 16.8, 16.960 of 172 champions121,723 matches analyzed

The current top tier list for Mid lane in Diamond+ is led by Yasuo and Katarina who both hold Tier S status. They are followed by Syndra, Ryze, and Kassadin who are categorized as Tier A performers for Patch 16.2.1. These five champions represent the most impactful choices based on the 22,246 games analyzed.

Yasuo holds the highest win rate among the top tier champions at 52.5% in Diamond+ matches. Katarina follows closely with a 51.7% win rate, while Ryze maintains a balanced 50.0% win rate. These figures are notable as they exceed the average listed win rate of 48.49% for the position.

Syndra and Ryze appear to be the most reliable picks due to their high pick rates of 9.6% and 8.5% respectively while maintaining Tier A status. Their consistency in Diamond+ suggests they can handle various matchups effectively. Yasuo is also a strong candidate but faces a high ban rate of 15.8% which may limit his availability.

The top champions like Yasuo and Katarina are strong because they maintain high win rates despite being frequently targeted by bans. Their ability to carry games is reflected in their S-tier placement and high pick rates. Additionally, champions like Kassadin and Ryze provide reliable scaling options that align with the current Diamond+ meta.

You should evaluate your champion pool with every major patch update to account for meta shifts and balance changes. Since Yasuo and Katarina currently have ban rates above 15%, it is important to have Tier A backups like Syndra or Ryze ready. Monitoring these statistics helps ensure you are playing champions with the highest success probability.

While 157 champions are represented in the data, the top five champions dominate with high pick and win rates. Lower pick-rate champions may work as niche counters, but the data suggests that Tier S and A picks offer more consistent results. Most players in Diamond+ find more success sticking to high-performing meta picks like those listed.

Tier S placements are reserved for champions like Yasuo and Katarina who maintain high win rates even with ban rates reaching up to 16.4%. Tier A champions like Syndra show high reliability with a 9.6% pick rate, indicating they are staple picks in the bracket. A high ban rate typically signifies a champion is perceived as high-threat by the Diamond+ community.
