Morgana

Untouched since patch 6.3e, she holds her place on the kit as it stands. Bans concentrate on her in the upper brackets while her win rate stays comfortably above even. Black Shield covers one ally for five seconds and blocks crowd control for the duration. The more the enemy leans on CC to open a fight, the more one shield takes away.

Mel

Her win rate sits below even, yet she still ranks near the top. Bans are what put her there, and they run especially high in the upper brackets. Rebuttal reflects projectiles and grants a second of invulnerability; patch 7.1d stretched its rank 4 cooldown from 23 to 32 seconds.

Syndra

Patch 7.2d buffed three abilities at once. Dark Sphere's base damage went from 205 to 230 at rank 4, and Dark Force and Scatter the Weak each picked up 15 points of AP ratio. Patch 7.2 also lined up the knockback distance so combos stop whiffing, and the higher the bracket, the higher she ranks.

Zyra

Patch 7.2 reworked Garden of Thorns so the plants now inherit Zyra's own magic penetration. The AP ratio dropped from 15% to 10%, but the plants finally bite through enemies stacking MR. Her pick rate stays small while the win rate runs high, and bans keep landing on her.

Brand

No changes came his way through the 7.2 patches; he is here on the kit as it stands, with a win rate above even in every bracket. Blaze burns 3% of max HP over four seconds and detonates at three stacks for 10% max HP to everyone nearby, so the more tanks the enemy fields, the better he performs.

Yasuo

Across all ranks he is the most-picked mid laner, and that sheer volume is most of what carries the ranking. His win rate falls short of 50% in every bracket. Patch 7.2 decoupled his shield from crit chance, so the 125-680 range holds up before items come online.
