Mid Lane snapshot (stats from 2026-08-14)
Mid has five S-tier heroes — Angela, Daji, Mozi, Liang and Milady — more than any other lane, and that depth is the story. Liang stands out: an exactly 50.0% win rate but a lane-leading 3.7% ban rate. What the win rate hides, the bans reveal.
The best win rate belongs to Nuwa at 53.8%, yet she grades A: at a 1.0% pick rate the sample is small enough to discount. If you are unsure what to learn, start with the most-picked options — Daji (3.5%) or Angela (2.7%) — and swap by matchup.
Understanding the Tier List Data
Tier lists summarize current hero performance trends under the active patch. Use them as a guide to understand meta dynamics rather than a strict ranking.
Interpreting Win Rate, Pick Rate, and Ban Rate
Win Rate vs Pick Rate: Heroes with a low pick rate swing more from game to game, because the sample comes from a small pool of dedicated players.
Ban Rate: High ban rates indicate heroes that are difficult to counter in draft rather than just raw win rate dominance.
Patch Adaptivity: Performance statistics settle over time following balance patches. Boundary tier ratings immediately after a patch are provisional.
Tiers and statistics are fetched manually from the official HoK Camp, so they may lag the live game. The date they were taken is shown at the top of this page.
