is an extreme early game bully, but is known to fall of late game. However, Titanic Hydra gives him late game scaling if he builds his regular build and allows him to be extremely tanky and deal decent AoE damage, especially if it interacts with his W the way I think it does. Could we see the return of the Renekton bar for Top Lane?
The Fast4 votesI just wanna say.
Titanic Hydra is a waveclear item that increases in damage as you build health, which can make tanks or bruiser better at split pushing. Waveclear. Health. Split pushing. Think about i-

Serevas2 votesI'd expect all lane bullies to be very powerful next patch, top lane is going to be a very unpleasant place. Irelia will be crazy strong, Renekton is going to have a ton of power behind him, Darius will be a nightmare, you get the point.

I see really offensive build Irelia to be stronger and Renekton to possibly be the premiere Top Lane next patch UNLESS Darius' rework makes him ridiculous.
Serevas2 votesHe's set to be really scary in team fights at the very least.
You don't even need really offensive Irelia to be honest, Take her typical build and add Sterak's Gage, it's primarily a tank item in stats, but the passive gives massive offensive capabilities.
{Sterak's Gage here}

, then more tank or a BotRK if you want.
I did the math the other day and Tri Force procs for Irelia chop off big chunks of damage from enemy health bars, something like 1/3 of a squishy's health bar, and I believe 1/4 of just about everyone else's base health bar.

Im guessing this is excluding armor and such as well. Yeah, I didn't think about Sterak's. I was just thinking "I don't know, I dont' think Irelia would want Titanic... Right?" Anyways, yeah that's scary.
Now that I'm on it, lets think of every Tri-Force user who could also get Sterak's...
Just to name the the first few I saw. How many Ranged ADCs could abuse Sterak's as well?

The Fast1 votesRenekton's Empowered W will do 13% of his max HP in physical damage.

Renekton's Empowered W will do 13% of his max HP in physical damage.
And an easy animation cancel for those that are less experienced. Not to mention the AD given by Titanic Hydra will increase the physical damage dealt by his empowered W by 112.5. His W will also deal 120 + 7.5% max health physical damage in a cone behind his target, excluding the active.
Also, Shen is gonna be better at his job. Plus a well-timed Ki Strike, plus Titanic active will deal mega damage.
I'm also not even going to talk about the fact that Sion now has infinite damage.
Shroom Junkie1 votesI play Renekton top a lot... he never falls off late for me. I just start building tank and do massive AOE damage and obliterate anyone on the enemy team, and be a front line.
Idk why people say he falls off...
