Umm so you see, i sorta want a top laner. And i have been thinking, and wondering, should i get ekko
or aatrox
, because i like both of their playstyles, and they are fun to play. I was also thinking Illaoi
Tahm Kench
or The Dunkmaster Himself, Darius
. Who should i buy out of those 5.
Ekko's probably the most fun out of those five, Aatrox is probably the worst, Kench is the most banned, I'd say Darius or Illaoi.
I'm actually migrating from top lane to the jungle. I have lvl 5 mastery on 
and but currently laning with them has been a nightmare. Honestly none of those picks are going to be safe enough to prevent you from being shutdown by a counterpick. And that's going to be the hardest hurdle to overcome.
Ekko is the most versatile pick, but Darius has the highest carry potential. Tahm is banned too often, and I don't like how illaoi only brings damage to a teamfight.
I was gonna vote tahm, but he's so hard to get a game in with him almost auto-banned right now. ekko is secret strong, aka no one plays him but he's really good. and he can be played mid or jungle if you want.
I can safely say that Darius is the safest pick out of all your choices (my bias is strong though). Tahm Kench I see banned a lot, so you probably won't get to practice with him enough to be good quite yet. Illaoi is a close second, she hits hard enough to wipe out entire teams if played right on top of pretty damn good range for a melee character, but the lack of cc makes it a bit tougher to pull her off if you happen to be behind. Ekko has a really high skill cap, but if you can make him work, more power to ya. Aatrox... don't. Just don't. In his current condition he's not worth it. His early game is decent, but if he doesn't snowball he becomes useless no matter how you build him.
