Lissandra is surging in popularity right now as her pick rate in recent professional matches has shown the world that Lissandra is a strong pick. With buffs in Patch 11.17, Lissandra will continue to remain a strong pick in the next patch.

Orianna is a strong mid lane control mage that players are picking up right now. Her burst damage late game as well as game changing ultimate are attributes that make Orianna a top tier mid laner in Patch 11.17.

3. Syndra

Similarly, Syndra is a force to be reckoned with due to her one-shot capability. Enemy champions have to be mindful when around Syndra as she can stun you at any time if her orbs are positioned correctly. Her ability to apply this much pressure to the enemy team means she is certainly a top five mid laner.

4. LeBlanc

LeBlanc is easily one of the most difficult assassins to deal with due to her deceptive kit. If strong enough, this champion will make enemy champions disappear without giving them a chance to even retaliate. This prowess solidifies her spot on this top five list.

5. Ryze

Ryze is a complex champion that thrives under the right hands but falls flat under the wrong ones. His kit requires players to have a deep knowledge of each of his abilities and strong map awareness. All this being said, clearly with the right person behind him Ryze is an incredibly strong pick landing him a spot in the Patch 11.17 top five mid lane list.
