I'll join the riven bragging bandwagon.
Games that got our team to Top 16 in a tournament. A few rounds away from winning some neat prizes. Kat/Vrow joined us too. Pretty happy about my performance so far too.

Either way, what are the best mid champions for competitive play now? I had a break from League so I'm a bit behind on meta stuff.

Also, one guy from one of the strongest teams in that tournament is selling his account so I'm trying to get him stomped by Rito.

Mid champs have a lot of possibility right now. I know my local meta had an emphasis on Yas, Diana, Liss, and Ori, in order of safety picks. Reasoning for the middle 2 was counterpick to Yas with assasination potential, and lockdown on rampant adcs, respectively.

I haven't paid particular attention doe because preseason is a terrible time for developing a meta, since there's inevitably broken shit.

Speaking of broken shit doe, Kayle is pretty broken in mid or top because rageblade is broken. Nashor's rageblade can blow up most adc by itself, and lategame Kayle is still a hyper carry. Nashors, rageblade, runaans, dcap, with situational last item (assuming whatever boots) is hard to deal with because you start proccing rageblade aoe on the runaans bolts, so you essentially get a ryze-like ult empowered e on auto attacks. Literally just watch everything blow up and call it a day. Speaking of Kayle builds, I think the aforementioned build could work for Kog better than a typical adc build, but I have yet to test it. Namely just because adc Kog takes far too long to come online.

Graves. Go Flash/exhaust mid, if you land a Q early it's either first blood or the lane won. He snowballs so fucking hard.

His biggest lane counter is Zed, although if Grave gets even slightly ahead, the lane is over. I would suggest Quinn but idk about the new new Q changes. Other than that, Brand is a shitfuck right now. With deathfire touch, he does so much fucking damage. Getting hit by a W early on against a Brand is a death sentence. Yasuo/Trynd worthy mentions, although I think both are better top atm. Also a worthy mention, corki. He does a lot of fucking magic damage and has stupid burst and is insanely mobile.

When you haven't played with your duo partner in a long time.

Im finding jax to be really fun again, rushing trinity then getting a rageblade and hextech gunblade.

Am I the only one?

Said every main that plays a champ that builds Rageblade.

I'm still playing Brand or Karma mid

Brand if I'm not against a hard counter to Brand, that is

The damage and post-6 2v1s are so silly

Anivia and Lux are silly right now.

I check PBE update today...

They're finally deleting her! /o/
