Looking to fill out my champion pool
I'm currently working on maining the middle lane. I have a champion pool of Neeko and Zoe, and I'm really enjoying both of them. I know their win conditions well, and I know which one to pick in 99% of situations but I'm struggling against mobile and scaling champions (like Yasuo or Zed).
So, I'm looking to round my champion pool out and add one more champion. I'm thinking either a good scaling or highly mobile champion might be good in order to counter the weaknesses, but I'm not sure since both zoe and neeko are kinda bursty. Could anyone offer me some suggestions since I'm struggling at finding a champion that will remain a reliable mid pick for a long time, but also has the qualities I'm looking for.

There isn't really a situation where you'll need to have a late game scaling champion in your pool. Solo queue isn't coordinated enough to reliably reach late game. If you play your champion well, you should be able to build a lead in the early and mid game.
In your case specifically, I would either suggest Veigar, whose Event Horizon keeps those pesky Assassins off your case and scales into late game at a ridiculous rate. He's also decently easy to learn, and a lot like Neeko and Zoe (though less mobile)
For covering up your weaknesses, I would actually suggest Mordekasier. Though he's not picked in mid lane often, he's sucessful there, and is both ridiculously tanky and an AP carry. His Death's Grasp and Realm of Death makes him hard to escape from, and Indestructible makes it so a percentage of the damage you deal (and take) can be healed while still in combat, making you outsustain most assassins.
Lastly, I find ARAM a great place to try out new champions. To be fair, it's not always indicative of how good a champion is, but it's good at helping you find champions whose playstyle you enjoy.
Hopefully that helps!
