Could Xayah Work Top?

Teemo, Quinn and Jayce work well top, each for different reasons but mostly cause their bully's to melee's. Well can xayah work top? Build a phantom dancer first maybe and use her massive pushing power to deny CS and poke, escape ganks with ult and E.

What do you think?

It would depend, but probably not against more tanky opponents. She'll likely excel at AD, but due to her squishiness, low mobility, and reliance on quills she'll likely lose hard against foes like Darius, Olaf, Cho'Gath, and Riven. Tbh I'd hate to imagine having to go against a Rumble as Xayah...or even Teemo for that matter.

I'm trying to make it viable, I use movement speed runes + masteries and I go Thunderlords and Triforce. The only thing is that she NEEDS critical strike in her build, which could be a problem with a Bruiser build.

biggest problem I can think of is how easy it would be to gank her pre 6

Been carrying every game with Xayah top and jg. Just build the adc build and make sure u poke the hell out of ur laner. Also, use ur passive well if u want to dodge ganks. She always trades a kill in ganks if u play well. Her clear in the jungle after just one item is the best I've seen. You should definitely try her.

Xayah doesn't have any defensive tool excluding her ultimate and it's a fairly long cooldown without cooldown reduction. You would require Essence reaver and cdr to be able to peel for yourself. Sivir , Lucian or Even Ezreal with Iceborn would be a better candidate.
