Supportive toplaners?

LeBoosted·11/29/2016, 8:51:25 PM·2 votes·816 views

Anyone know some viable toplaners that have a supportive role? What I mean are not toplaners that have the role title of support (kench as an example, who imo isnt very supportive in that role), but instead toplaners that encourage a supportive playstyle. Thanks ^.^

Shen Can tank,can save team members with your Aoe Dodge and that ult is amazing at saving allies

Almost all tanks can play top or support Nautilus Maokai Malphite

They just get tankier and do more damage up top

Leona can counter certain top lanes. I have had good success with her in matchups againstDarius and Garen

Shen is the best imo... he's got that game changing ult and his whole kit is good for an engage or disengage. TahmKench like you said is also one, though not the best. Nautilus is a very good one, with a ton of cc and is a great front liner if he builds tank. Gnar is probably a good one too if you can hit his ult... even if he does horrible in lane he can do a ton in team fights as mega. Lulu might still be ok, but I haven't seen her much since nerfs... could potentially still be viable. Malphite makes the list because of his ult. Lissandra has tons of cc and has a crazy team fight imo. Rumble I guess could be supportive, but only if he can make use of his ult, but I'd say he's kind of maybe on the edge if anything.

Shen and Naut

Heck, I'd even say that Illaoi sorta count as well. Her tentacles add a lot of chaos and mayhem to help your team during fights, and the utility of her E is not to be underestimated.

I think Shen is the definition of what you want.

Any top laner with a good amount of CC can do this too though. Basically, if you're behind build tank and stay with the back line to peel for your ADC. Works well on most anyone with more than 1 CC in their kit.

Out of curiosity, how the heck do you play Shen top? He's got no poke whatsoever, so unless you luck out and meet someone like Garen who doesn't either, I can't see him standing a chance. Someone like Quinn or Jayce would demolish him, no?
