What champ to learn? [MID LANE]

[echo furnace]

I am looking for a good midlane pick, currently I am D2 playing Talon/Kassadin/Zed mainly. I need a good ap pick mid, which champ would be good to invest time into? I was also thinking about Qiyana, is she worth it ?

[graceful crown]

Twisted Fate is very good rn

Katarina is also good

[earnest notch]

Hwei

[quasi cloak]

twisted fate is probably gonna be nerfed to the ground soon tho and go back to his old state

[quasi cloak]

hwei is extremely contested

[quasi cloak]

im lost u want a ap pick but said u were thinking about qiyana

[spare jackal]

ap pick? qiyana? i think youre confusing her with someone lol

depending how hard you wanna commit id say pick a mage with a safe lane and teamfight potential (so most), if you really want to commit to learning the ins and outs go for a mage with carry potential; hwei, orianna, taliyah or cassiopeia for example

[dreamy marsh]

Have 4 more weeks to abuse tf till he finally gets nerfed. His ap is being nerfed next patch yet his ad build is still turbo broken

A good midlane pick for ap though would be ahri as she's super good in soloq and a good blind pick

[quasi cloak]

hwei is too contested to be learned and used consistantly

orianna is good only problem is that shes extremely macro dependant and his champ pool is mainly micro dependant so it might not be a good fit

[dreamy marsh]

If hes talon otp orianna would work well on the macro side

[spare jackal]

idc about contesting might as well learn him if hes picked often so you know how to play vs him

[dreamy marsh]

He just doesn't know mage playstyle since he only plays assassins. Also hwei would have him running it down cuz he's not used to extremely squishy mage

[spare jackal]

thats my exact point let them choose freely, champs shouldnt be locked away

who knows they might enjoy that one champ people didnt recommend, happened before its not something new

[quasi cloak]

almost all of cass bad matchups are the meta picks for mid lane rn

[quasi cloak]

i love taliyah but u rarely see her anymore

so she would be good

[spare jackal]

so do you have any recommendations or are you just gonna debunk every single suggestion people put here

[spare jackal]

alr taking that back ig

[quasi cloak]

most talon players dont use him for macro and mainly focus more on his micro side

[dreamy marsh]

talon is known as macro assassin

[quasi cloak]

u can see talon players up to masters who dont even know how to use his hops properly

[spare jackal]

thats macro?

[quasi cloak]

using ur hop correctly for position is considered macro yes

[dreamy marsh]

talon doesn't require much micro since he is very simple to pilot

[spare jackal]

nah still micro its his kit for that specific moment

[dreamy marsh]

if you take positioning as macro then his e is macro

[spare jackal]

macro is roaming sure but its not that deep for talon the way you described it is micro, using it wrong right there not roaming wrong or smth

not u svor

[dreamy marsh]

I mean tbh it doesn't matter how u consider his e lol

But talons main objective is to ambush carries and know where they will be walking which is more macro than micro since he isn't micro intensive he has easy to hit skillshots

[echo furnace]

I want to learn Qiyana as she seems better than talon currently

and I really suck at mages, I can lane but mid and late game team fights are very hard for me

[dreamy marsh]

Qiyana is ad

Qiyana is a mechanically intensive champ compared to talon

[spare jackal]

yeah his kit is just there to assist that

[echo furnace]

thats why I want to learn her

I am not a silver or bronze I can learn champions lol

[grand mulch]

ahri giga broken right now

[oblique light]

if you want to keep playing assassins I would say Leblanc and if you want a mage Hwei
