Mid Lane Tier List - Bronze and Below

The current Mid tier list for Bronze- on Patch 16.2.1 features Yasuo, Veigar, and Akali as the leading Tier S champions. These picks are followed by Tier A champions like Ahri and Yone who also maintain significant presence in the meta. This list is based on data from over 42,000 games played in this rank bracket.

Veigar currently boasts the highest win rate among the top-tier champions at 53.0 percent. Yasuo follows with a 51.3 percent win rate, and Yone maintains a steady 50.1 percent. These champions are performing well above the average listed win rate of 50.51 percent for this tier list.

Yasuo and Ahri are among the safest picks due to their high pick rates of 13.3 percent and 10.1 percent respectively. Their high popularity suggests they are versatile enough to be chosen without knowing the enemy laner. Players should remain cautious of Yasuo's 21.1 percent ban rate which may make him difficult to secure consistently.

Top champions like Veigar and Yasuo excel because they can capitalize on the uncoordinated play often found in Bronze- matches. Veigar's high 53.0 percent win rate indicates his scaling and cage are very effective in these games. Yasuo's high pick and ban rates reflect his status as a high-impact carry that players at this level struggle to manage.

It is recommended to review your champion pool with every patch update to stay aligned with current win rates and tiers. Since this data covers 21,448 matches on Patch 16.2.1, it provides a very reliable snapshot for the current meta. Consistently monitoring Tier S picks like Akali and Yasuo can help you maintain a competitive edge.

While this list focuses on high pick-rate champions like Yasuo and Ahri, lower pick-rate champions can be viable if they contribute to the 50.51 percent average win rate. However, high pick-rate champions are generally more reliable as their performance is proven over a larger number of games. Mastery of a few Tier S or Tier A picks is usually more effective for climbing than switching to niche champions.

Tier placements like Tier S for Yasuo are determined by a combination of his 51.3 percent win rate and his massive 13.3 percent pick rate. The 21.1 percent ban rate also indicates that a champion is perceived as high-threat, which contributes to their ranking. High ban rates often signal that a champion has a significant influence on the outcome of games in the Bronze- bracket.
