Wild Rift Patch 6.0E Mid Lane Tier List – Best Mages, Assassins, and Flex Picks

The mid lane meta in Patch 6.0E is packed with explosive options, whether you prefer long-range poke mages, hyper-mobile assassins, or off-meta flex picks that control the map in creative ways. While few changes hit directly in this patch, the mid lane pool continues to be diverse, high-impact, and full of carry potential.

This tier list is split into three categories: Mages, Assassins, and Flex Midlaners (non-traditional mids who perform well in the role).

🔥 TL;DR – Top Picks You Should Be Playing

Syndra – Untouched and unmatched. She controls lanes and obliterates melees with CC and burst.
Ekko – Best assassin in the game. Waveclear, safety, scaling, and one-shot threat all in one.
Corki – Dominant flex pick with absurd poke and package plays.
Zoe – High skill ceiling, but game-winning if mastered.
Rumble / Jayce / Yasuo – Great into squishier mids, offer kill pressure and side lane value.
