Patch 16.454 of 170 champions61,267 matches analyzed

The best Mid tier list for Emerald+ features Katarina as the top S-tier pick with a 50.3% win rate. A-tier is led by Yasuo, Syndra, and Ahri, all of whom maintain win rates at or above 50%. Ryze rounds out the top five in B-tier with a 48.1% win rate across 60816 games.

Among the top listed champions, Ahri has the highest win rate at 51.7% in Emerald+. Yasuo follows with a 50.4% win rate, and Katarina holds a 50.3% win rate. Syndra also performs well with a stable 50.0% win rate on Patch 16.2.1.

Ahri is a very safe blind pick due to her high 51.7% win rate and exceptionally low 1.8% ban rate. Syndra is another reliable choice with a 50.0% win rate and a manageable 7.7% ban rate. Yasuo and Katarina are strong but risky to main as blind picks because their ban rates exceed 16%.

Katarina reaches S-tier because she maintains a positive win rate despite being banned in 16.5% of matches. Yasuo and Ahri are strong due to their high pick rates and win rates above the 48.63% average for this list. These champions currently offer the best balance of popularity and raw performance in the mid lane.

You should check the list every patch to monitor win rate shifts, such as Ahri's impressive 51.7% performance. Pay attention to ban rates for champions like Yasuo and Katarina to ensure your pool remains available in champion select. If your main drops to B-tier like Ryze at 48.1% win rate, it may be time to practice a higher-tier alternative.

The data provided focuses on high-frequency picks with rates between 7.3% and 10.1%, so there is no specific data on low pick-rate champions. Generally, sticking to A-tier or S-tier champions is more effective for climbing in Emerald+ due to their proven consistency. However, since the average win rate of the list is 48.63%, player skill still plays a massive role.

Tiers are influenced by how champions perform at scale, with Yasuo being A-tier due to his massive 10.1% pick rate and 50.4% win rate. High ban rates like Katarina's 16.5% often signal that a champion is oppressive enough to reach S-tier status. Champions with lower win rates like Ryze at 48.1% are placed in lower tiers even if they are picked frequently.
