5 Best Mid Laners in League of Legends Patch 9.17

5. Vladimir

What is there to say about Vlad? He has great lane sustain and pushing, he scales well, and he can 1v5 teamfights.

4. Neeko

Neeko received a very small quality of life buff this patch, but she's already in a great position. Her catch makes her a potent threat in the mid-late game and her ultimate gives her the ability to wipe the floor with the enemy team.

3. Sylas

Sylas has been coming back as a jungler in high level play, but the core strengths of his kit apply well in the mid lane as well — especially if he's matched up against immobile casters.

2. Talon

Talon's gameplan is as simple as ever. Shove, roam, gank. Repeat and win the game. With his Assassin Path [E] and Shadow Assault [R] he is difficult to pin down.

1. Fizz

Fizz's winrate has been outstanding ever since his passive got reworked in Patch 9.14. Not only does he hard counter immobile mages, but he's resilient against combo, burst, and damage over time abilities — so pretty much everything.
