A very common sight in the top lane is the tank.. Slow moving punishers that laugh at gankers... However, this makes me wonder... Because of this, would it make a cc oriented ranged user a viable toplaner? I have ended up in top with Anivia a few times, and she does surprisingly well against tanks, landing a few kills along the way...
Sakura Mirage1 votesUntil she gets ganked and has no mobility to run a marathon to get to her tower.
Elindiir1 votesOk valid point, though wouldn't that be a notable problem in other lanes too? (Well, less so mid untill you are at inner, but that part is still a problem)
EDIT: Don't most CC-centric people have the ability to use CC to escape?
PeachsProperty1 votesidk if he is seen much but 
use to be a common sight top side.
also elise is a top laner too.
The Bearded Bard1 votesAnivia's not all that easy to gank top lane. Top lane's pretty linear when it comes to ganking. Back off when you see them coming, Q stun the top laner, wall off the jungler. Easy peasy.
are all very strong anti top lane top laners
Elindiir1 votesI think one day, this might actually be a thing, tank destroyers... Especially when considering the fact that a lot of them don't deal with certain midlaners well... Also, setting up a team to work with this can have a very interesting fast paced late game with a solid amount of utility in a team.
Instead of Tank;Melee burst;All-rounder mage(Arhi);Marksman;Support (Morgana or Lulu)
You can have: CC mage (with solid damage... or an overloaded support[Anivia or Morgana]);Melee burst;Solid damage mage(annie);Marksman;Specialized support (Soraka or Sona)
It also can be a bit nicer in queueing up as not a lot of people seem to WANT to tank and top lane ends up as the 'Shortest Straw'
