What top laner 2 buy?

Currently the only top laner I play is Garen, which is a problem because mid and top are my favorite to play, so who should I buy next? Also I have tried Darius and don't like him so not him.

I main garen as well. Other top laners I enjoy playing include Trundle Illaoi Yorick Lissandra DrMundo Poppy Swain in about that order. If you really like Garen though, there's nothing wrong with just playing him. Darius and Garen are almost the same champion and if you don't like him I can't imagine what other top laners you may like. Do you like juggernauts, divers, mages, marksmen or tanks? Think about the archetype you enjoy most and what specific attributes those champions have that you like. For example, I like being tanky and I'm willing to sacrifice cc and mobility to be able to do a lot of damage. So, Illaoi and Garen are perfect fits for me. Mordekaiser is another champion like this, but i only play him mid. If I were to start playing another champ similar to this description, I would try Olaf

Ekko and Ryze can be played top. Based on this you seem to like the laning pattern of poking people down and using burst to finish your opponents off. You lean more towards caster type champions as opposed to auto attack based champions and you seems to favour mages over AD casters. Urgot I think Vladimir and Lissandra would be especially good fits for you. I would also recommend trying Urgot. You probably won't like him the first few times you play him, no one does because it takes a few games to understand how he works. However, he is a bully in the top lane with a lot of poke, surprising amounts of burst, and more tankiness than any other pure marksman. Rumble might be a good fit if you really like lane bullies. He has a significant learning curve though, and you have to get into melee range with him to be an effective bully. He can poke effectively with His harpoons. If you don't mind being more of a sustained DPS in team fights and still want to poke people and be a bully in lane I recommend Swain
