Top Mains

TurtleStacks·8/7/2015, 3:01:08 AM·1 votes·478 views

Hey guys. Darius used to be my main champ for top. With the recent nerf coming his way I need a new champ to replace him. I have several other champs that I do enjoy playing top but not that many, and I dont like playing them as much as darius. So, I was wondering if we could have a discussion about top champions suitable enough to replace darius. Mostly in the fun department seeing as he wont be playable after 5.16.

Honestly Darius might actually become more fun to play depending on how they do the numbers.

Darius? Well, how do you play Darius? Aggressively or defensively?(As in, do you pull them in and trade whenever, or do you outtrade them when they try to go in?)

Maybe Renekton? He's been in a pretty good position for solo queue in recent patches. Shen and Hecarim also come to mind. Irelia is probably the best pick overall out of all of the top laners though. Riven is not far behind.

I'm in the same boat. Fiora was my main, and I'm still getting used to her new rework. While it's an overall improvement with lots of potential, she's not as strong as she once was. I'm holding out for them to play around with her stats, lower W and E cooldowns, and maybe buff her passive.

If you like the bully playstyle, to be good early game as Darius is, I'd say Renekton, Riven, Jarvan IV, maybe Pantheon. My personal baby is Jarvan IV.

Darius is still going to be good. Give him a chance before you abandon ship.

I'd recommend replacing him with the new Darius. Seriously, new Darius is not a nerfed version of the current one.
