Question 1

What is the best Mid tier list for Silver- right now?

Accepted Answer

The current top-tier picks for Mid in the Silver- bracket include S-tier champions such as Yasuo, Veigar, and Malzahar. Yasuo is the most popular choice with a 13.5% pick rate, while Malzahar is the most effective with a 54.3% win rate. Ahri and Akali are also featured as strong A-tier options within the 169 champions tracked in this patch.

Question 2

Which Mid champions have the highest win rate in Silver-?

Accepted Answer

Malzahar leads the top champions with a high win rate of 54.3%, followed by Veigar at 52.9%. Yasuo also performs well with a 50.7% win rate despite his very high popularity. Other champions like Akali and Ahri have win rates of 49.4% and 48.7% respectively, which are slightly above the average listed win rate of 48.37%.

Question 3

Which Mid champions are the safest blind picks in Silver-?

Accepted Answer

The data suggests that Yasuo and Ahri are reliable choices given their high pick rates of 13.5% and 9.1% across over 100,000 games. However, Malzahar and Yasuo suffer from high ban rates of 22.7% and 20.6%, which might make them difficult to lock in consistently. Veigar may be a safer alternative due to his high 52.9% win rate and a much lower 6.5% ban rate.

Question 4

Why are the top Mid champions strong in Silver- on Patch 16.2.1?

Accepted Answer

Champions like Malzahar and Veigar are strong because they maintain win rates well above the 48.37% average, likely due to their straightforward and impactful abilities. Yasuo's S-tier status is driven by a combination of a 50.7% win rate and an immense 13.5% pick rate, showing he is a dominant force in this meta. These champions excel in the Silver- environment where reliable crowd control and carry potential are highly valued.

Question 5

How often should I update my champion pool from this Mid tier list?

Accepted Answer

With over 108,000 games of data on Patch 16.2.1, this tier list is a highly stable resource for the current meta. You should consider adjusting your pool if your main champions are frequently banned, such as Malzahar at 22.7% or Yasuo at 20.6%. Monitoring these S-tier and A-tier placements ensures you stay ahead of the average 48.37% win rate for the bracket.

Question 6

Are low pick-rate Mid champions worth playing in Silver-?

Accepted Answer

While the data focuses on high-performing champions like Yasuo and Veigar, there are 169 champions in total on the list. Low pick-rate champions are not detailed here, but the high win rates of S-tier picks suggest that sticking to established meta champions is more likely to result in success. If a champion has a low pick rate but fits your playstyle, compare their performance against the top-tier average win rate of 48.37%.

Question 7

How do pick rate and ban rate affect tier placements for Mid in Silver-?

Accepted Answer

Tier placements are heavily influenced by the combination of high win rates and high pick or ban rates. For example, Malzahar is S-tier because he couples a 54.3% win rate with a massive 22.7% ban rate, indicating he is both powerful and feared. Yasuo earns his S-tier spot through sheer popularity and a solid 50.7% win rate, even with a 20.6% ban rate.
