Why are tanks the only viable top laners this season?

If you try and go anything other than tank top the tank will sht on u doing more dmg than u and taking none. Really blows this season. Wish Riot would balance their tanks and make them do less dmg. They can already tank 50+ turret hits why make them deal tons of dmg along with that? Completely negates playing a fighter or a bruiser top lane when they have a full tank. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I mean, its fine if you think that, but I just decided to check your match history out of curiosity and noticed in preseason you have 64% winrate Yasuo, 70% winrate Tryndamere, 60% winrate teemo... Granted not that many games played, but I'm not seeing what you are seeing. And if you go Zoe top, and don't build a Liandry's or Void staff before complaining about not doing any damage, it's kind of hard to take this seriously.

Not sure how accurate it is, but Gbay99 just made a video about top lane and talked about why tanks are good.

I don't think I would take Karthus, Ahri, or Fiddlesticks top, but otherwise good point lol. (As a person who plays a lot of AP mids, it hurts me a little when the top laner goes an AP carry because it encourages the enemy to build more magic resist)

Fiddle is disgustingly oppressive against any melee lane opponent. Just max drain.
