I don't get to play league as much as I would like like to. So learning carry champions and flavour of the month is kinda pointless. Who are some good champions for top lane that are fairly full of utility? Champions that can help out the rest of the team where my score in lane phase won't matter much. Any suggestions that can be played in mid would be good too.
Veraska3 votesShen immediately comes to mind, he's like a supporty fighter who does surprisingly well in lane and is super useful on a team as a split push presence
And if you're score in lane isn't the best you have a ton of value in your W, E and ult to help your teammates out
He's also got a rewarding mastery curve (you can tell between good and bad shen's) so you might not get bored of him after like 5 games
He's also pretty meta resistant, he's never not a directly bad pick but there are some times where his strengths just become straight up oppressive
I highly reccomend learning shen

Do you have any advice on his rework? I play a decent amount on the old shen. For some reason I haven't touched him since the update. He was really fun and now I feel bad that I forgot about him.
Veraska2 votesYea he's got a real easy combo to force fights and he does well against other health stacker especially if they rely on auto attacks.
The combo is to open with taunt which trigger your shield passive to absorb the dmg from the taunted opponent and the taunt puts your opponent in between you and the spirit sword setting up an easy Q so they can either fight you while empowered or run away while slowed letting you get free dmg, if they fight put up your W
Old shen had an easier laning phase where you could play more passive (ranged targeted Q) but new shen has a lot more edge in fights, titanic hydra is core on him and with his damage mitigation being tied to his passive (which I'd reduced by hitting spells) and his W he feels a lot like like a dexterity based tank to me, so the more skilled you are the tankier you get.
His skill cap went up but he still does shen stuff, so the skills you had with old shen (like when to use ult and stuff) will still translate I think
Thund3r Ang3l3 votesUtility, Dont need kills to be revelant? 4 champions come in my mind. 
Just farm, Enjoy =) (Shen is coming back slowly in the meta.)
DeathBurst1 votesI agree with that list. Maybe add Sion too.
Narvuntien2 votes
also
probably should see more play.
oh and 
although I haven't played him top.
Chicken Sailor1 votesI love kench top (mastery 7 from top lane only), wouldn't recommend him though. Low win rate and honestly doesn't bring a whole lot to the table unless you can snowball and get items early. Plus if they go through with the pbe changes top lane kench is dead
Cubíx2 votesWhen I play top I usually play tanks, Nautilus is one of my favorites. I also like nasus, lissandra, and shen.
EndlessSorcerer2 votesSome champions which suit your description would be:
I'd recommend Gangplank. I'm trying to learn him myself and he's quite fun and scales very well.
CR4ZYRONDH4VI2 votesIve been having fun with shen. Also maokai is good too. Both of those champions become near unkillable late game tbh too lol.
Friendly Ram1 votesGnars pretty good. Mega gnars entire kit is cc so one or two good teamfights can get you back.
Darfaller1 votesWukong is pretty good right now, good dmg, really good utility dmg ult. He can basically carry games.
Trogmar1 votesWow a lot of great suggestions, thanks a lot.
