Top lane has nothing but lane bullies

So many lane bullies in this meta... Darius Jayce Swain Ryze Gnar Gangplank Irelia

Forces me to choose a universal anti-bully/bully: Kennen

Seriously, there's almost no top lane bully that effectively counters Kennen.

Could we get some more diversity in the top lane? I want to be able to play things like Nasus Sion Chogath DrMundo Aatrox but these lane bullies in literally every match make it a pain in the ass.

Meanwhile Riven has a higher playrate than all of them

Kennen vJayce sounds like FUN!

Irelia Bot2/5/2017, 10:02:39 AM5 votes

Um... Irelia beats Kennen.

But I would not call her a lane bully except against ranged who wonder into the top lane and even that is sometimes pushing it.

GP isn't a lane bully. People complain about how safe and passive his lane is. Mundo is a lane bully, same with Cho. Nasus has his splitpush Nasus build, Aatrox just ins't strong ATM, and Sion can still be played pretty well top.

Are you serious about Swain? He's a very, very bad pick at the moment.

GP is a safe champion, not a bully.

He does a good job surviving the matchups he does well into, and gets slaughter by his hard matchups.

Renekton None are a match for the king. Renekton

Except Jayce, that piece of shit can go die in a fire.

I keep playing Nasus no matter how much it hurts, simply because i hate being a meta sheep. I guess it's the old MMO player inside me talking...

Darius can easily be countered with patience, Swain is easily countered by 1 or 2 items, Jayce is just OP, Gnar has some windows of weakness but can be beaten easily by Nasus, GP is a toss up cause his early game is crap, and Irelia is well....Irelia (better nerf her though).

Irelia a lane bully? Are you drunk?

She is....really bad without any items O_O

A real bully would be Darius Riven Renekton Gnar Jayce .

The criteria for bully certificate is being strong from either the start or very shortly after as in 2-3 lvls.

Irelia needing gold to get to that lvl does not qualify.

As for the ones you wish to play....

Aatrox is trash due to having been nerfed to the ground due to having issues. Riot have said he's left there until rework team is ready.

Nasus being a lategame champ struggles against bullies, midgame champs and jungle ganks. All which are currently stronger than usual.

Isn't DrMundo fine tho? I mean he is a tank so sure he struggles against bullies but his mid-lategame should be just fine.

Sion should be the same as Mundo to my knowledge, struggles agaisnt bullies and Darius the juggernaut but should be fine otherwise.

Chogath depends on what he builds i guess? If he goes tank he has the same issue's as Mundo or Nasus. But if he goes AP he is squishy which is a world of issue's all by itself.

im upvoting just because you put aatrox in there and riot clearly hates that champion

gp a lane bully what kind of drugs are you on?

DorsalChicken2/5/2017, 6:34:07 PM1 votes

I try so hard to make Cho'gath work in this season, the most I have been able to do against the likes of Darius and Jayce is to just stay safe and build tanky first and then hope I come out on top if/when they try to dive me. I think toplane in general is just in a really bad spot atm.

Why would you want to play Chogath? He's hot garbage ever since the W change.
