Apologies for the slight repost, added Azir to the poll.
Hey all, I’m a Plat 4 midlaner who plays, Akali, Zoe and Qiyana. The big issue with this is that I really struggle into tanky comps. I know it isn’t necessarily the midlaners job to deal with tanks, but it is nice to have the option. This also means I need them to be decent as a blind mid, as although I counter the composition, I don’t want to be just then ruined in lane. I know I could just force my pool into tanks, but I enjoy having multiple options of champions to play, as I prioritise fun over climbing, although I still want to see how high I can go. If you have any other suggestions or options, let me know!
Azir I have 91k mastery on, Cassio I have 72k mastery on, and Swain I have 21k mastery on. Azir has the benefit of also being an amazing blind pick, but he is also in a permanently bad spot which has thrown doubts into my mind. Although Cassio and Swain aren’t as good blind, so it means I’d stick to Zoe blind compared to if I picked up Azir, they are both countered compositionally, which is why a counterpick. Cassio is mediocre into some long ranged mages though. Swain has the most tankiness about him, but he does lack some damage because of it. I’m just not sure who the best option is for what I need.
