Due to some apparent issues with Riot’s Match History system for some games played on March 25/26, the LCK, LMS, and EU LCS Promotion tournament statistics pages cannot be updated, until the issue has been resolved on Riot’s end. They are working on it, and hope to have an update soon.
Follow me on Twitter to hear when the issues have been resolved and the stats have been fully updated.
Update March 27: If the issue is not resolved by Monday, March 28, I will upload the available data and provide minimal stand-in data for the missing games.
Update March 28: The issues have been resolved, and all statistics pages are up to date.
For years, Europe has been known as a Mid lane Mecca, home to multiple world class talents and a horde of young up-and-comers continually challenging to become the next xPeke or Froggen. The 2016 Spring split has seen some power shifts in the Mid lane talent pool, with Froggen leaving for North America and xPeke stepping back, temporarily it seems, into more of a management role. Who has come in to fill the void?
Yesterday I released my NA LCS Mid Laner Power Rankings, and today I’ve done the same thing for the European LCS, putting all 10 starting Mids in order based on how they’ve performed this split.
At the center of the map, two isolated 1v1 duelists square off in a battle for lane dominance, probing for openings to either all-in for the glorious solo kill, or shove the wave and disappear into the fog of war to roam to their side laners’ aid. The Mid lane is a crucial battleground on Summoner’s Rift, and has always been the home of some of the world’s most talented LoL players.
This split the North American LCS has fielded perhaps its strongest ever crop of Mids, with the addition of big-name imports like Froggen and GBM and the growth of holdovers like Jensen, Fenix, and Pobelter. Who’s really the best Mid in NA, though? And how does everyone else stack up behind them? That’s what we’re going to explore here, in a full 1 to 10 ranking of NA LCS Mids.
