Which are the best mid laners in League of Legends in season 15?
The mid lane position has always been the most highly coveted role in League of Legends. Being a mid laner requires not only great mechanical skills and carry potential, but also a great understanding of how to coordinate with teammates to make action on the map.
With the start of the new season, we’ve started seeing a large variety of champions played thanks to the new Fearless draft format, giving mid laners options on how they want to be an impactful factor. While some prefer to play carry champions, others prefer having a cover a more utility role. That said, strong mid laners will be able to be proficient at both, performing consistently at a high level.
In this list, we take a look at the most dominant mid laners currently within each region. As we compare team strength internationally, how do these elite players shape up in a head-to-head battle?

Starting off our list, we’re taking a look at the Korean region: the LCK. The region was able to take the Worlds trophy once again with T1.

Going into 2025, the LCK retained all of their mid laners, meaning that there won’t be many changes when it comes to the top players. Aside from Faker and Chovy, who were considered the two best last year, we started seeing ShowMaker finding his form as well as Bdd holding strong. HLE’s Zeka is an honorable mention, although his performances are more volatile.
Just like the LCK, the LPL mid lane pool continues to be stacked. Knight leads the way alongside Scout for the most consistent players. Aside from these two, Doinb is a close third. Despite the break from pro play, the guy has been leading NIP to unexpected performances with his leadership.

Rookie hasn’t shown much so far but we should expect him to be among the top later in the year. The same can be said about Xiaohu who, however, might have a weaker peak potential compared to the other four. After a good showing domestically, Creme still hasn’t been able to prove his worth on the international stage, which is why he dropped down the rankings.
EU has been notoriously famous for growing great mid lane talents. That said, the pool of players has seemingly stayed stagnant in the past two years.
This season, the LEC has welcomed Canadian super star jojopyun from the former LCS, joining KOI. While his form has seen ups and downs at the start of the year, we should expect him to be among the top talents in the mid lane. The same can be said about nuc, who has consistently carried BDS to positive results throughout 2024.

The new LTA is seeing the rise of new young talents from the past year confirming their status as the top mid lane players. APA has maintained his strong domestic form from last season, although it has been 100T Quid who surprised the most. The Korean player continues to impress, dominating several key metrics and scoring the highest amount of solo kills in the regular split (7).
In LTA South, Chilean mid lane cody has been a tier above everyone else, and matching similar numbers to the top LTA North players. Previously on Estral Esports, we’ll have to see how he performs once the two conferences collide.
