Great mid laners can effectively roam into other lanes while keeping pressure on their mid lane opponent, and champions who excel at it are indispensable.\u00a0 This list of top-tier champions can change depending on several factors. Sometimes, the meta shifts for no reason other than players\u2019 tastes, but usually, it\u2019s because of balance adjustments. Keeping up with the flavor-of-the-month champs can be difficult, so let us do it for you. Here are the best mid laners for League Patch 14.21. Best mid lane champions in LoL Patch 14.21AhriSylasYoneSyndraHwei Ahri Ahri is back on top as the powerhouse mid laner in League. Across many stats sites, she is one of the more popular champions in the game. According to U.GG, Ahri is the most picked champion across all ranks. Ahri has also been extremely viable in competitive play recently, with the mid laner being the second most picked at the 2024 World Championship.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013 Solid laner \u2013 Mobile \u2013 Ultimate provides great roaming potential \u2013 Abilities are skill shot dependant \u2013 Difficult to play when ultimate is on cooldown \u2013 Requires strong positioning at all times With Malignance still a really strong item, Ahri will remain the top dog in the mid lane. She can impact the map in a way that many champions can\u2019t. Ahri\u2019s goal is to shove the lane in with her Q and then look to roam once she\u2019s level six. Her ultimate is a powerful tool as she can get to lanes quicker while providing good escape mechanics if she\u2019s ever caught being somewhere she shouldn\u2019t be.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Ahri Best runes Rune tree one: Domination \u2013 Electrocute \u2013 Taste of Blood \u2013 Eyeball Collection \u2013 Ultimate Hunter Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Manaflow Band \u2013 Transcendence Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Malignance \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Horizon Focus These are the only items you\u2019ll need on Ahri during the early game to get going. Malignance is the best item for the champion as it burns the enemies whenever Ahri uses her ultimate. Ahri also has long-range abilities, making Horizon Focus a solid choice for her second full item as it reveals where the enemies are after damaging them from long-range. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Orb of Deception (Q) \u2013 Fox-Fire (W) \u2013 Charm (E) Once you get level four, max Q first, W, and E in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Jayce \u2013 Akshan \u2013 Veigar \u2013 Sylas \u2013 Malzahar \u2013 Annie \u2013 Anivia Sylas Sylas is amongst the best champions right now in League. When he gets going, he\u2019s one of the harder champions to stop, thanks to his ultimate, which steals the enemy champion's ultimate. When locking in Sylas early, the champion impacts the enemy team draft. For example, a Sylas with Alistar ultimate, Lux ultimate, etc., makes the game difficult for the opposition.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0Very strong with the right ultimates \u2013 Very mobile \u2013 Great roamer \u2013 Able to one-shot squishy targets \u2013 Abilities are skill shot dependant \u2013 Difficult to play when ultimate is on cooldown \u2013 Weak laner Sylas is at his best when he roams around the map looking for picks with his early-game spike. Rocketbelt is the best item for him early because he can quickly pounce in while still being about to get out of dodge if needed. While teams should definitely plan their draft around Sylas not getting good ultimates, most teams in solo queue avoid this, therefore Sylas will often get at least two good ultimates to choose from every game.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Sylas Best runes Rune tree one: Domination \u2013 Electrocute \u2013 Sudden Impact \u2013 Eyeball Collection \u2013 Relentless Hunter Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Scorch \u2013 Transcendence Offense: Adaptive Force Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Hextech Rocketbelt \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Cosmic Drive You\u2019ll want to run these three items on Sylas practically every early game. Rocketbelt is pretty straightforward in that it allows Sylas to spike early and impact the map faster. He\u2019s not a great laner, so using Rocketbelt to shove in the wave is a good plan, as you can then focus on leaving the lane while the enemy has to farm.\u00a0 Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Kingslayer (W) \u2013 Abscond \/ Abduct (E) \u2013 Chain Lash (Q) Once you get to level four, max W first, E, and Q in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Galio \u2013 Vex \u2013 Taliyah \u2013 Ryze \u2013 Malzahar \u2013 Cassiopeia Yone No one enjoys being killed from two screens away---that is the problem many have when going up against Yone in League; the mid lane champion is just as dominant as ever. To make matters worse, the champion is the strongest in competitive play right now. Yone is the most picked champion in the mid lane at Worlds 2024, meaning his presence in solo queue is likely to rise.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0 Can assassinate squishy targets hiding in the backline \u2013 Ultimate is a great engage and disengage tool\u00a0 \u2013 Great roamer \u2013 Weaker early game \u2013 Difficult to play if enemy has hard CC \u2013 Vulnerable to ganks Yone is definitely a champion who needs time to ramp up due to the weak laning phase. Anyone with poke can whittle him down and zone him off the wave, making the game very difficult to play. Yone being short-range early means he must walk up to the wave to kill it. Later into the game, his abilities will clear the wave with ease, but early on, they do next to nothing, especially to enemy champions. On the other hand, he can assassinate an enemy from miles away thanks to his E and his ultimate, which is where the joke two screens away comes from. Area of Interest Best options for Yone Best runes Rune tree one: Precision \u2013 Fleet Footwork \u2013 Absorb Life \u2013 Legend: Alacrity \u2013 Last Stand Rune two: Resolve \u2013 Second Wind \u2013 Overgrowth Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Blade of the Ruined King \u2013 Berserker\u2019s Greaves \u2013 Immortal Shieldbow These are the items that Yone will need to get through the early game. It provides enough sustainability to help Yone tackle what will likely be a tough early game. The lifesteal will allow him to stay in lane much longer and tackle the side lanes once the game reaches that stage. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Mortal Steel\u00a0 (Q) \u2013 Soul Unbound (E) \u2013 Spirit Cleave (W) Once you get to level four, max Q first, then E, and W in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Akali \u2013 Vex \u2013 Syndra\u00a0 \u2013 LeBlanc \u2013 Katarina \u2013 Veigar Syndra Synda is back in the fold as one of the stronger mid lane champions to pick in League right now. In Patch 14.21, Syndra has risen as one of the better mage pick as ADCs are slowly being removed from the mid lane. Syndra doesn\u2019t need a lot to get going with a kit that is fairly simple to use but difficult to master at a higher level. She has good wave clear, which allows her to roam with ease.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0 Great waveclear \u2013 Can one-shot squishy targets \u2013 Good in teamfights \u2013 Abilities are skillshots \u2013 Has low mobility \u2013 Squishier than other mid lane opponents In terms of getting the basics down, Syndra isn\u2019t a difficult champion to use if you\u2019re looking for a character that can farm well and scale into the late game. The problem then becomes whether you can hit your skill shots, which is the most important part of her kit. She has an extremely powerful stun, but it can be harder to hit for players in the lower ranks. She\u2019s also extremely immobile, meaning your positioning on her must be top tier or champions with crowd control will easily pick you off. Area of Interest Best options for Syndra Best runes Rune tree one: Inspiration \u2013 First Strike \u2013 Magical Footwear \u2013 Biscuit Delivery \u2013 Cosmic Insight Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Transcendence\u00a0 \u2013 Manaflow Band Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Luden\u2019s Companion \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Stormsurge Luden\u2019s Companion is the primary item that will get Syndra through the early game. She has great poke, but this item will certainly help one-shot the wave with ease, allowing her to roam about the map. Syndra is great at bursting champions down, so Stormsurge is such a good item for her. It grants her movement speed, something she desperately lacks. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Dark Sphere\u00a0(Q) \u2013 Force of Will (W) \u2013 Scatter the Weak (E) Once you get to level four, max Q first, then W and E in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Fizz \u2013 Xerath \u2013 Sylas \u2013 Ekko \u2013 Galio \u2013 Irelia Hwei Although Hwei fell off recently, the mid lane champion is making a comeback in League Patch 14.21. If you\u2019re looking for a champion who scales tremendously well and has a solid early-game presence, go with Hwei.

His items also play a big part in the early game, with Blackfire Torch being his optimal starting item. Hwei\u2019s abilities can hit multiple targets, meaning this item is more than essential for Hwei as his ability power will increase.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Hwei Best runes Rune tree one: Sorcery \u2013 Arcane Comet \u2013 Manaflow Band \u2013 Transcendence\u00a0 \u2013 Scorch Rune two: Precision \u2013 Legend: Haste \u2013 Cut Down Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Blackfire Torch \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Liandry\u2019s Torment As mentioned above, Hwei\u2019s abilities are large area of effect abilities that can hit multiple targets at once, so you should go for Blackfire Torch. For every champion hit, Hwei\u2019s ability and power increase by four percent. Considering Hwei can consistently pump out these abilities, it makes sense to go with this item first.

Great mid laners can effectively roam into other lanes while keeping pressure on their mid lane opponent, and champions who excel at it are indispensable.\u00a0 This list of top-tier champions can change depending on several factors. Sometimes, the meta shifts for no reason other than players\u2019 tastes, but usually, it\u2019s because of balance adjustments. Keeping up with the flavor-of-the-month champs can be difficult, so let us do it for you. Here are the best mid laners for League Patch 14.21. Best mid lane champions in LoL Patch 14.21AhriSylasYoneSyndraHwei Ahri Ahri is back on top as the powerhouse mid laner in League. Across many stats sites, she is one of the more popular champions in the game. According to U.GG, Ahri is the most picked champion across all ranks. Ahri has also been extremely viable in competitive play recently, with the mid laner being the second most picked at the 2024 World Championship.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013 Solid laner \u2013 Mobile \u2013 Ultimate provides great roaming potential \u2013 Abilities are skill shot dependant \u2013 Difficult to play when ultimate is on cooldown \u2013 Requires strong positioning at all times With Malignance still a really strong item, Ahri will remain the top dog in the mid lane. She can impact the map in a way that many champions can\u2019t. Ahri\u2019s goal is to shove the lane in with her Q and then look to roam once she\u2019s level six. Her ultimate is a powerful tool as she can get to lanes quicker while providing good escape mechanics if she\u2019s ever caught being somewhere she shouldn\u2019t be.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Ahri Best runes Rune tree one: Domination \u2013 Electrocute \u2013 Taste of Blood \u2013 Eyeball Collection \u2013 Ultimate Hunter Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Manaflow Band \u2013 Transcendence Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Malignance \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Horizon Focus These are the only items you\u2019ll need on Ahri during the early game to get going. Malignance is the best item for the champion as it burns the enemies whenever Ahri uses her ultimate. Ahri also has long-range abilities, making Horizon Focus a solid choice for her second full item as it reveals where the enemies are after damaging them from long-range. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Orb of Deception (Q) \u2013 Fox-Fire (W) \u2013 Charm (E) Once you get level four, max Q first, W, and E in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Jayce \u2013 Akshan \u2013 Veigar \u2013 Sylas \u2013 Malzahar \u2013 Annie \u2013 Anivia Sylas Sylas is amongst the best champions right now in League. When he gets going, he\u2019s one of the harder champions to stop, thanks to his ultimate, which steals the enemy champion's ultimate. When locking in Sylas early, the champion impacts the enemy team draft. For example, a Sylas with Alistar ultimate, Lux ultimate, etc., makes the game difficult for the opposition.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0Very strong with the right ultimates \u2013 Very mobile \u2013 Great roamer \u2013 Able to one-shot squishy targets \u2013 Abilities are skill shot dependant \u2013 Difficult to play when ultimate is on cooldown \u2013 Weak laner Sylas is at his best when he roams around the map looking for picks with his early-game spike. Rocketbelt is the best item for him early because he can quickly pounce in while still being about to get out of dodge if needed. While teams should definitely plan their draft around Sylas not getting good ultimates, most teams in solo queue avoid this, therefore Sylas will often get at least two good ultimates to choose from every game.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Sylas Best runes Rune tree one: Domination \u2013 Electrocute \u2013 Sudden Impact \u2013 Eyeball Collection \u2013 Relentless Hunter Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Scorch \u2013 Transcendence Offense: Adaptive Force Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Hextech Rocketbelt \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Cosmic Drive You\u2019ll want to run these three items on Sylas practically every early game. Rocketbelt is pretty straightforward in that it allows Sylas to spike early and impact the map faster. He\u2019s not a great laner, so using Rocketbelt to shove in the wave is a good plan, as you can then focus on leaving the lane while the enemy has to farm.\u00a0 Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Kingslayer (W) \u2013 Abscond \/ Abduct (E) \u2013 Chain Lash (Q) Once you get to level four, max W first, E, and Q in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Galio \u2013 Vex \u2013 Taliyah \u2013 Ryze \u2013 Malzahar \u2013 Cassiopeia Yone No one enjoys being killed from two screens away---that is the problem many have when going up against Yone in League; the mid lane champion is just as dominant as ever. To make matters worse, the champion is the strongest in competitive play right now. Yone is the most picked champion in the mid lane at Worlds 2024, meaning his presence in solo queue is likely to rise.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0 Can assassinate squishy targets hiding in the backline \u2013 Ultimate is a great engage and disengage tool\u00a0 \u2013 Great roamer \u2013 Weaker early game \u2013 Difficult to play if enemy has hard CC \u2013 Vulnerable to ganks Yone is definitely a champion who needs time to ramp up due to the weak laning phase. Anyone with poke can whittle him down and zone him off the wave, making the game very difficult to play. Yone being short-range early means he must walk up to the wave to kill it. Later into the game, his abilities will clear the wave with ease, but early on, they do next to nothing, especially to enemy champions. On the other hand, he can assassinate an enemy from miles away thanks to his E and his ultimate, which is where the joke two screens away comes from. Area of Interest Best options for Yone Best runes Rune tree one: Precision \u2013 Fleet Footwork \u2013 Absorb Life \u2013 Legend: Alacrity \u2013 Last Stand Rune two: Resolve \u2013 Second Wind \u2013 Overgrowth Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Blade of the Ruined King \u2013 Berserker\u2019s Greaves \u2013 Immortal Shieldbow These are the items that Yone will need to get through the early game. It provides enough sustainability to help Yone tackle what will likely be a tough early game. The lifesteal will allow him to stay in lane much longer and tackle the side lanes once the game reaches that stage. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Mortal Steel\u00a0 (Q) \u2013 Soul Unbound (E) \u2013 Spirit Cleave (W) Once you get to level four, max Q first, then E, and W in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Akali \u2013 Vex \u2013 Syndra\u00a0 \u2013 LeBlanc \u2013 Katarina \u2013 Veigar Syndra Synda is back in the fold as one of the stronger mid lane champions to pick in League right now. In Patch 14.21, Syndra has risen as one of the better mage pick as ADCs are slowly being removed from the mid lane. Syndra doesn\u2019t need a lot to get going with a kit that is fairly simple to use but difficult to master at a higher level. She has good wave clear, which allows her to roam with ease.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013\u00a0 Great waveclear \u2013 Can one-shot squishy targets \u2013 Good in teamfights \u2013 Abilities are skillshots \u2013 Has low mobility \u2013 Squishier than other mid lane opponents In terms of getting the basics down, Syndra isn\u2019t a difficult champion to use if you\u2019re looking for a character that can farm well and scale into the late game. The problem then becomes whether you can hit your skill shots, which is the most important part of her kit. She has an extremely powerful stun, but it can be harder to hit for players in the lower ranks. She\u2019s also extremely immobile, meaning your positioning on her must be top tier or champions with crowd control will easily pick you off. Area of Interest Best options for Syndra Best runes Rune tree one: Inspiration \u2013 First Strike \u2013 Magical Footwear \u2013 Biscuit Delivery \u2013 Cosmic Insight Rune two: Sorcery \u2013 Transcendence\u00a0 \u2013 Manaflow Band Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Luden\u2019s Companion \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Stormsurge Luden\u2019s Companion is the primary item that will get Syndra through the early game. She has great poke, but this item will certainly help one-shot the wave with ease, allowing her to roam about the map. Syndra is great at bursting champions down, so Stormsurge is such a good item for her. It grants her movement speed, something she desperately lacks. Best Summoner's Spells - Flash - Teleport Best build path \u2013 Dark Sphere\u00a0(Q) \u2013 Force of Will (W) \u2013 Scatter the Weak (E) Once you get to level four, max Q first, then W and E in the end. Toughest matchups \u2013 Fizz \u2013 Xerath \u2013 Sylas \u2013 Ekko \u2013 Galio \u2013 Irelia Hwei Although Hwei fell off recently, the mid lane champion is making a comeback in League Patch 14.21. If you\u2019re looking for a champion who scales tremendously well and has a solid early-game presence, go with Hwei. The champ will take some time to get used to the different combinations, but players underestimate just how strong this champion is.\u00a0 Pros Cons \u2013 Great teamfighter \u2013 Provides poke and mid-to-long-range \u2013 Great early-game champion \u2013 Low mobility \u2013 High mana cost abilities\u00a0 \u2013 Spells are skillshots Hwei isn\u2019t easy to learn by any means, but once you get over that teething period, you\u2019ll be a late-game monster with lots of range and able to spam abilities at will. His items also play a big part in the early game, with Blackfire Torch being his optimal starting item. Hwei\u2019s abilities can hit multiple targets, meaning this item is more than essential for Hwei as his ability power will increase.\u00a0 Area of Interest Best options for Hwei Best runes Rune tree one: Sorcery \u2013 Arcane Comet \u2013 Manaflow Band \u2013 Transcendence\u00a0 \u2013 Scorch Rune two: Precision \u2013 Legend: Haste \u2013 Cut Down Offense: Attack Speed Flex: Adaptive Force Defense: Health Defense: Health Best items \u2013 Blackfire Torch \u2013 Sorcerer\u2019s Shoes \u2013 Liandry\u2019s Torment As mentioned above, Hwei\u2019s abilities are large area of effect abilities that can hit multiple targets at once, so you should go for Blackfire Torch. For every champion hit, Hwei\u2019s ability and power increase by four percent. Considering Hwei can consistently pump out these abilities, it makes sense to go with this item first.
