Patch 7.1: Top Lane, The Split Push Lane
Ok, so, with the coming changes to Zz'Rot Portal in 7.1 and the Jungle still looking like it will favor ganking Bottom Lane in the next patch, I think split push champions will be great in Top Lane. Since so much pressure is going to be directed towards Bottom Lane, having the potential to forcefully draw attention away from there or nab a ton of towers is huge. Heck, who cares if Bottom Lane is getting crushed when your team gets that sweat first tower blood gold from the enemy team not noticing the Yorick that just killed his lane's tower before 9 minutes. How? This:
Voidling Structure Damage per level increased to 20 (360 at 18) from 5 (90 at 18).
That's some serious damage for those that don't know. Especially every 4th Zz'Rot Portal bug which deals bonus damage based on health. Of course, this came with some other trade offs to the item, but those overall don't matter unless you you trying to use the Zz'Rot Portal to stall, which is for what a wussy would do. Anyways, with this increased pressure on towers in Top Lane especially, split push champions that can use this item just got a lot better, so:
Expect these guys in particular to rise up in the next patch.

Can be a surprisingly strong splitpusher too, start dorans, back, second dorans, rush that Zzrot and become a nasty unuduelable push machine.
