Hello! I was wondering what champion is better to be played on top by a begginer(I am level 10 atm). I have Illaoi, Irelia, Renekton. Which of those are the best for top considering my level ?

Irelia is easiest to start with, but hardest to master. You can easily farm with her. Scales well late game. Renekton is strong early and isnt hard to start with. But u need to be aggressive. Illaoi is useless.

Irelia and Renekton are a lot easier to do well with, I'd say

Renekton and irelia are more "newcommers" friendly i'd say.

I know this isn't what you were looking for, but I recommend Garen. Provided you don't hit one of his hard counters (Teemo), he's quite forgiving to play, and has a nice point-and-click killer ult. Abuse the passive, build tanky, and things go well. His ult doesn't scale with any stats, so a tanky garen and damage-build garen have the same ults.

I do quite well with Garen top, but I'm terrible with Irelia, Illaoi and Renekton. For reference, I'm an ADC main.

Renekton would be my recommendation, he's simple enough to learn, and very strong early on, which means you should be able to get a handle on how to lane him effectively, and then be able to apply that into getting ahead and winning lane. At this point in your learning curve, the most important thing to try and improve on atm is your laning prowess. Because being good at everything else that matters in the game won't count for much if you get destroyed in lane (it still helps, but it will do SO much more for you if you can get through laning on par or ahead, instead of behind). Irelia would be a good champion to work on as a backup/secondary, she isn't quite the lane bully that Renekton is, but there is more to mastering her, and she scales much better, which will allow to you do more for your team later in the game (good for when your laning is solid and it's time to hone your skills at playing the post laning phases of the game).

Edit: As for Illaoi, she is actually a difficult champion to use effectively outside of lane, she's very reliant on her tentacles for damage, and in post-lane play it's hard to exploit them effectively. That said, in the right circumstances, she is a total monster (she's one of the best 1v5ing champs in the game because of how her ult works).

Aatrox is a little hard to learn, but if you can get good with him, you can beat almost anyone
