Mana problems op at top. Though if you can get past laning phase I see it fit well.

I'd say he has mana problems, and it's difficult for him to work well in lane since the isolation is difficult to come by due to minions. I'd also say he's not super optimal against tanks so you might have a hard time. I'd try him in mid lane instead perhaps?

He does carry a really strong roam so if you can farm up well enough and survive early on and gank frequently, it could be a really strong pocket pick into squishies.

if you think that isolatin wll be a problem in top lane then you shouldn't even think about going mid lane because its so smol

The reason I say mid lane is because of the squishy nature of the champions there. Isolation is less important if they're squishy to begin with.

The lane itself is better for kha in top (access to brush for passive, longer lane making isolation easier). The matchups are either worse (renekton) or moderately to significantly easier (hi dead top lane yasuo)

Yeah a lot of the features of the lane are great, but I just see the lane being either Kha getting murdered by Renekton, being unable to accomplish anything against one of the many common tanks.

I can't really think of many common top lane match ups that wouldn't be really difficult aside from that Yasuo. Maybe Quinn, but her blind is so many levels of broken it can completely nullify the trade so idk if that would even be a decent one.

Gnar is actually an easy matchup for the most part. Surprisingly enough, Xin zhao is a fairly favorable matchup as well, although not that common. Most tanks are winnable lanes, and if you're going for a muramana build (which i generally do), even/slightly winning is very good. You just also have godawful matchups- Quinn is impossible to do anything against if she's not garbage (she can just E your E and auto harass you to death, doesnt even need the Q), Renekton smashes you, you make no progress at all against Nasus, Udyr (although rare) will shit on you...

I never even though of the muramana build on him, that might be really interesting. I may actually try that and see.

DarkwindDec 11, 20151 votes

He's got a lot of bad matchups, but if you avoid them you'll do fine.

Personally prefer the muramana build, but nothing wrong with yours

Low lane pressure given how hard it is to isolate, also u should evolve q first if u want a slim chance of killing anyone up there. But if u chose to, I'd rush hydra forsure, unless u need a hexdrinker.
