He has the highest win rate of all top laners in platinum and up right now, so he seems to be.

He's one of the few melee champions that can beat the living shit out of champions like Graves or Quinn top lane, and in general is a very good anti-carry. His early game dominance is also huge, so it makes sense he'd be strong in a meta that is so snowbally.

I don't know of any video guides though.

He got a good buff along with JarvanIV and any other ad fighter with cc from item 3147 . Before they lacked that little bit of extra damage but now that problem is solved. It may be stupid good on Zed Talon but i honestly prefer it on the likes of XinZhao Pantheon . They bring more utility so they aren't useless when they fall behind.

mm, i see most builds, atleast top lane start off with youmuu's, when would you suggest building duskblade?

It varies based on the matchup but if you're top lane i prefer it as like a 3rd item. Finish the ghostblade, grab an item to make you a bit tanky, then grab the duskblade. My reasoning behind that is that you're gonna want the ghostblade first of course. Then the tanky item so you don't get deleted in skirmishes. Then the duskblade for diving carries when teams have started to group. If you're fed as hell you might as well grab it second since you're gonna be killing people way faster than they can kill you. If you're losing hard i think it's better to grab a second defense item and grab it 4th. You don't really need it for 1v1 in top lane, it's really useful for when you get onto their carries when those dragon fights start going down. I find most of the time i'll leap in, get a carry to 1/4 health or so, then need to back off before I die. The passive is gonna help secure you that kill or IMMEDIATELY force them to run away instead of being able to kite from the backline at lowish HP.

I find the same thing applies in the jungle too. I like to grab my item 1400 , get something like item 3110 item 3742 item 3068 , then pick up item 3147 after i'm tanky enough to survive flanking into their backline.

The only time i even bother buying item 3147 though is if we have something like Ezreal Lux mid and a tank in the jungle. The reason i love fighters so much is they have such versatile build baths and this just adds another path. If you don't have a true assassin on your team, you can build that item to fulfill the role. However, if you DON'T have a tank in your jungle it's much smarter to go the tank route. Sure you could go the damage route, but if you have Ezreal Lux mid....be honest with yourself...your team doesn't need anymore damage. They need someone to keep the damage dealer alive.

i completely agree, i find alot of players forget that there are even roles in the game. like you'll see a non-tank top, non-tank jungle and a non-tank support...and then if you read the chat log, they're all yelling at the adc for dying. like they don't even try to protect their back-line..and then complain when their back line ultimately dies. Its quite hilarious.

So say i'm going a tanky pantheon. how many damage items should i be picking up? in your opinion :P
