Welcome to the Mid Lane Tier List, A in depth look at the strongest Mid Lane champions in League of Legends. Check out what ap champions you should pick in mid lane. Lets see what makes a mid lane champion so much better then the rest of your choices. For the most Part there are two different types of Mid Lane Champions: the first is The Casters, these most the time will be AP Carrys. While the other is Assassins, these tend to be AD but can sometimes be AP as well. Mid Lane role champions are in the best position to control the outcome of the game, due to the location of the lane being in middle of the map. This gives you more opportunity to assist other lanes including the Jungle.

Champion Tier List
Brand
Brand is among the strongest ap mid lane champions since his release at the start of Season 1. Brand has a good lane phase versus most AP champions, along with a very potent Ult Spell for Team Fight. Overall easy mid lane champion to pick up and play, highly recommended mid lane champion for any player.
Zed
A very strong AD assassin champion in the hands of a experienced player. Zed is a difficult to master, I would recommend practicing this champion in normal games before playing it in Solo Queue Ranked. Zed has a high skill cap and can be very rewarding for players that invest time into learning how to play zed. Some of his weaknesses include: team fights since he has to be very careful when approaching a team fight, making the most out of his shadows clones is a must for zed players.
Ahri
One of the safest AP mid lane champion picks in league of legends, as well as a high ranking mid lane tier list champion choice. ahri almost has it all plenty of HP sustain thanks to her passive. Super high mobility threw her Ult spell and a fairly high amount of dps. ahri is best played in a similar fashion to zed play style, making the most out of your mobility to assassinate enemy champions early in the game.
