Cut Zed out of there. He doesn't function top nearly as reliably as he does mid for many reasons.
I'd also cut Yi out of there. He has bad match-ups vs just about every top laner.
Pantheon is a very easy, but very cheesy champ. If you don't master him, he likely won't take you past a certain point.
Same deal with Renekton, though a bit more consistent. Doesn't stomp as hard as Pantheon into some matches, but you'll find yourself going at least even more often. Can easily still get fed on most lanes if you're experienced on him.
Irelia and Darius both can bully early depending on match-up, spike really hard mid, and scale decently into the game. Consistency on them can take a lot of familiarity though once you get past certain skill-brackets.
If you're learning the game, I'd honestly recommend Irelia. She has the clearest windows of weakness/powerspikes while also maintaining a relatively solid power-curve. You can learn more about the game and lane dynamics with her than the others, since she can't really skip over many aspects to win in most cases like some of the others can somewhat commonly.
Irelia's also pretty damn fun; I'd recommend her or Renekton on that front.
I know some of these are off meta picks, but the reason I want a top lane carry is not to climb, just to have fun. The reason Riven isn't on this list is just preference I hate listening to her edgy voice lines and looking at her stupid sword. So which of these champions offer the most carry or outplay potential?
, and the last noticeable one is after Q is maxed I would say.
