A few days ago i realized that i played myself into a slump, i used to play a lot of viktor. He was pretty much my go to pick for midlane, but i feel like i lack game impact playing him, so i have been mostly resorting to playing shaco, which works super well, but i need a second role ; __ ; .
To be more specific, i want a champion that is good in the midlane and can get me a 60%+ winrate on it, whilst it not being a filthy assasin.
I stumbled across Karthus, because he feels old and still cool and i could play him with TP (yay free ganks if people can ward).
And this is where i ask the mighty people here, can karthus make up for the hole in my team that a bad toplaner or a feeding botlane open or do i have to resort to real roamers like ahri? Or perhaps there is another champ that is both a mage and not point n click to save me out of this hole i dug myself?
With Karthus, if you find yourself in a tough match up in midlane or getting camped hard and fall behind, you'll probably be a deadwieght for your team. Ofcourse, the reverse can happen where you dominate,and then Karthus' dps is insane and you carry the game.
But, to paly it safer, roaming mobile champs are probably better.
You could try Cassiopeia, she's tons of fun, or also try Viktor, he's incredibly powerful right now in the right hands.

I am the turtle of the midlane, i never lose my lane but i never win it either. That's why i roam, i played a lot of viktor as i stated but he can't roam fast or do anything to make botlane stop losing, if they lose. If the other lanes win then i win my games but that is too unreliable.
I like the new passive on cassio but i am not too fond of smashing my E button in or relying on people to be stupid enough to face me when my ult is up. (there are no turnratios anyways)
edit: other posts - I thought about annie too, as she is cheap as ..something very cheap and does good. Anivia is too immobile even for my tastes ; __ ;
[I am already back into league taku, way too deep into league]
The broken duo might work... (Annie, Leblenc) or the other basic bitch kata. Lissandra too if you are good with her. This is for low elo right? Oh, forgot the other whore named akali. If by low elo you mean bronze/silver then these champions were made to dominate there.

I meant Diamond 5/4 with low elo, and as i said i don't want filthy assasins but i guess annie sounds the most legit out of those.
¿Why not malz or xerath? Both bring excellent damage whithout even be there, nice cc, no mana isues at any point of de game. Of course they are inmobile and so, but both have safe lames against popular picks. Slow roam yes, but malz can solo dragon very comfortable at almost anu point of the game, and xerath can get nice ganks and asist with ult. Also both can poke and siege endlesly. (Low elo opinion here XD)

Dat Humblebrag... lol.
What about Ori? She's "immobile" like you seem to prefer, but can still roam a little bit with W and her ult is great for counterganking bot lane and dragon control after 6. She's pretty dependable as she has utility if behind and scalings to carry if ahead.
I would say Orianna as well. She plays really safe in lane and doesn't have terrible matchups, and you can just farm your way through the lane phase until mid game where all the AoE in her kit becomes really powerful. Not to mention you get versatility from being able to max either W or E second for either a more offensive or defensive style depending on your preferences as well as what you need in that particular game.
Well i can play viktor against kata and lb, why not karthus. Just take exhaust and play your lane safe, they won't do shit.
I think Cassio is just a stronger version of Karthus at the moment. If you are good with Viktor with all the kiting and mid range dps mage play style, you will probably pick her up quite fast.
Cassio can solo carry a game if you are good enough, so how does that sound?

Mobility, utility, shrugs off damage, waveclears, and generally doesn't afraid of anything. Just stack all the bf swords and cdr to be the best approximation of a mage you can be.
I don't believe that karthus is the worst place in the world right now. He is very similar to what he has always been. Someone who enjoys farmfest and occasionally hit R when needed. Followed by a big AOE teamfight that hopefully he does enough damage before he dies and his passive runs out.

PlatinumSome lane control mages, like Annie, provide very high burst damage as well. Anivia's burst damage is also surprisingly high.

PlatinumLissandra and Syndra are super safe in lane, have incredible burst and CC, and can 2v1 after 6 easily.

GoldDear op,
Karthus is in a bad spot curently against all those Katas and LBs. They can murder u reasonably quick.
Thogh he is an incredible good counter to yasou.
Ihe can carry a game alone when u play him well and manage to drag out the game. But he can also fail like almost no other champ when behind.
As aKarthus main i recommend him for times when not every matchup is an mobile assasine like now.
They snowball too hard and he is too much of a risk
Have fun and be death on the fields of justice, your evil majesty Scar.

You want an amazing mid laner who isn't an assassin in an assassin meta? ok.
