Recommend Me a Top Champ

SukebanA·3/15/2018, 3:25:37 AM·3 votes·445 views

When I first started, I tried Illaoi while she was on free rotation and LOVED playing her so much that I bought her. Appearance, story, etc. is all perfect for me. However, I don't love her low mobility and to be honest, I need variety. Especially if she's banned. Here's what I like and who I've tried:

Like: Mobility, massive damage, helping hands (as in Illaoi's tentacles or Zyra's flowers, and someone who can roam easier. I like to be able to help the other laners once my first tower falls, but then it's going back and forth to try and help and I end up losing MY tower, and while I'm heading back to protect my lane, the OTHER laners tower falls and I feel responsible. [sg-soraka]

I've tried: Illaoi (obviously) Poppy (I like her a LOT but I swear, she's kind of squishy?? I might be wrong, but I need to get closer to the enemy champ and they stomp me) Nasus (I didn't do any damage with him, even full build. I've seen powerful Nasus', so either's he not right for me or...) Malphite (I'm decent with him unless I'm stuck against someone like Illaoi with lots of ranged or someone faster.) Camille (she was on free rotation, I tried, got my ass kicked. This might have just been me, again, I'll see what you all say.) Fiora (I can't do ANYTHING WITH HER. She's one of the most challenging champ I've played.)

Alright. Help me, oh great LoL boards. [sg-syndra] For what it's worth, Mid is my fav lane.

Oh come on, the only top laner you should ever want, obviously. Riven But honestly if you want someone who doesn't really have too much to worry about in top lane, Yorick is your best bet. Just buy trinity force into ZZ rot and you can go wherever you need to. I go dark harvest but most people go grasp. Getting to people late game can be kind of hard but you're a splitpush champ so you can just set up your splitpush and demolish towers.

I'd say Gnar. He's a really fun champ who's good at dueling is usually ranged, and has good mobility and roaming potential.

Camille Mobility, massive damage, can roam easier Gangplank massive damage, doesn't end up losing tower (,hard to learn) Shen Mobility, can roam easier, doesn't end up losing tower Jax Mobility, massive damage, can roam easier Jayce Mobility, massive damage, can roam easier Galio decent damage if AP, doesn't end up losing tower, can roam easier

Personally I liked Darius Renekton . Darius with the dunks, Renek as lane bully (dash, stun, Q, dash out), tho the meta doesn't exactly favor them right now (maybe in 8.6 with new keystone)

Yorick massive damage and super helping hands you can get tower easy and then roam. You can use your ult to push top while you push bot and your team is 4v4 or 4v3 mid because they have to answer your push on multiple fronts.

Heimerdinger ap version of illaoi. Set up your nest and make melees cry.


Roaming

Pantheon win lane roam win other lanes close out pre 30 minutes with major split pressure and global map presence on the second tier turrets for team fights where you can force 4v5

Shen Tanky pantheon. Decent dueling, ult to help teammates and to back to lane so you never lose tower

Kled strong early, big engage pressure.bait your enemy and kill them with a half hp skaarl from 5%

Sion tank version of kled with oodles of damage but less "turn around" wins in fights

Also Camille has a hard macro oriented learning curve

Mordekaiser has the best helper in the game, and is one of the best farmers in the game. He shines in skirmishes (2v2 and 3v3), so roams are natural, he scales incredibly well, plus you get the "wtf is this champion" going for you. However keep in mind no cc or real mobility to speak of. Shen because reasons Singed depends on if you want to directly help your teammates in fights or just drag their entire team back into base to kill you. Sion Crazy AD scalings so if your team lacks in some burst a long range R Q W E can one shot if they are squishy and you built a ton of AD.

If you're okay with squishies, I would suggest Quinn for the roaming potential. You don't even have to take tp because of ult, so you can take ignite for early kill pressure.

Aatrox Kled Irelia Jax

Don't worry, even in high elo making use of Illaoi is difficult. She's amazing in teamfights, but that means you're relying on your team to actually teamfight, which is alot harder than you'd think.

Jax is probably your best bet. Easy to pick up, strong as hell, very mobile and flexible.

If you don't mind a small bit of a learning curve, go ahead and try your hand at the other 3.

honestly if you just want to have fun and be really mobile, i'd recommend Kayn but you go with rhaast instead of shadow assassin and just do full ad. run electrocute and first item should be item 3071 followed byitem 3142 ,item 3147 ,item 3812

You'd probally like urgod. He has one mobility spell and one slow, and instead of a tentakill minigame you play shotgun roulette.
