Champions that you should NOT ever play top lane if you want to win games

FalconPawwwwnch··1 votes·1,176 views

Jax, Olaf, Darius, Renekton, Shyvana, Gangplank, Shen, Mundo, Udyr, Xin Zhao, Lee Sin, Zac, Trundle.

Picking any of these champions at the moment is pretty much the equivalent of asking your team to carry you

The problem you have created for yourself is that you named a bunch of champions without explaining the rationale as to why each of them is a bad top laner, thereby pissing off everyone who mains those champions. I would humbly suggest that you provide those reasons before continuing the discussion, assuming this is a topic you take seriously.

I'm not sure why Mundo is on that list...he's pretty much always viable.

Because win rates for 1 champion is all that matters in competitive 5v5 games

Meanwhile, lowest winrate Yasuo, going all pentakills and shiet.

So a good amount of Fighters, including ones that are pretty-lane dominant?

Or you could just pick a ranged champion, be just as lane dominant if not more lane dominant, and then actually have a late game lol

Lol, the only way to dominate Renekton in lane is to spend all your time zoning him and getting no gold. Because the moment he hits 3, you're going to start regretting taking a squishy against him.

Wait, why Darius? He wrecks a lot of melee champs hard, including Irelia. For the rest, yea, they are preferred as jungle. The only weird thing is I don't see Alistar in the list.

Dont even degrade olaf

Mundo I know still sees plenty of play at the challenger 5v5 level scrims.

The rest can all function under the right circumstances just fine.

Played GP top the other day, worked just fine. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1638681963/38205021?tab=overview

Just because the meta changed doesn't mean any of these champions aren't viable anymore, a good Renekton is still going to raid boss and wipe your team if you don't peel away from him as soon as humanly possible.

u kiddin mayne. he must be half kidding. i understand xin is risky as is udyr but the rest are some of the strongest top laners. renekton? shyv? mundo? JAX?

olaf is absolute top tier top . trundle is a killer top

Does no one else realize he was making this comment because of Kalista? I don't agree with him, Kalista isn't that big a deal that it will change your top pick much, relying on your team to kill the enemy ADC as the top bruiser/tank isn't asking your team to carry you in the slightest.

All of those champs are extremely strong top, aside from Udyr and Zac taking a bit more patience.
