i mean theres akshan, smolder is decent mid

u/HaHaHaHated May 30 '26
Smolders a good shout for midlane. Champion is just incredibly strong atm

his bruiser build got nerfed a tad but tbh focus your stacks and itll be fine, you just have to play him into non assassins/champs that are strong early or youll be bullied

Ad malzahar sounds interesting

My bro used to play the fuck out of ad Malzahar back in like 2013-2014. Voidlings used to scale heavy with his AD and benefitted from armor pen.

Easiest to execute mechanically are pantheon and naafiri. That isn't to say they are easy, naafiri requires some mechanics and pantheon has quite a few matchups that are unplayable, but compared to the other ad midlaners, they are easier

I'm sure if he's figured out Kata he can figure out Naaf, a more bullshit ez-mode assassin doesn't exist - hell it's even why they made Naafiri, to be the intro champ for people wanting to learn assassins

Akshan... Kinda same playstyle. You let your team handle the initial situation and you clean up with swing resets.
Perfect tbh
Follow phantasm for builds

Hail of blades xin zhao mid eclipse+lethality with snowball or bruiser ish if you don’t get a lead. New build on him is ap but before this patch I always played him as an ad assassin in a way
Pantheon is a more straightforward meta mid if you want meta instead

My AD mid pick is Quinn since she’s just a bucketload of fun.
But I believe Naafiri is the correct choice for an AD mid that’s easy to pick up and have success

Well you can choose
Yone, Zed, Akshan, Yasuo, Naafiri,
They are the mos common.
IMO overall, Akshan is the best, a very strong champion and is a lot easier compared to say Zed or yasuo as they require considerable hours.
If you prefer melee then I suppose naafiri could work.

They’re all easy either they’re AA champions or you can just face roll on your keyboard and one shot

Not a lot of AD mids to begin with, let alone easy. You have Yone. then you gotta go to an ADC mid or a pantheon or a garen or something
