I wonder if we are going to have the Renekton Bar again

I'd sure as hell rather face a Renekton every game than a Ryze or Quinn, ranged gets to be annoying as hell top lane.

Oh look it's another one of these threads "Melees are bad in top lane"

Seems mages are moving from mid to top. Guess bruisers are going to have to head mid and show assassins a good time.

Don't expect melee to be more useful than ranged in this game

If you want to play a game where melee is good play any other moba

Probably why melee champions have the highest win and ban rate in this game.

Ryze in particular is broken af, Quinn is an interesting lane, where you have to trade efficiently and use your cc in your favor to win trades, it's how I'd like toplane to be (actually, Jayce is how I'd like it to be, whatever), in fact, most ranged toplaners offer interesting counterplay, unless you're playing something like Mundo, but static walls of meat get bullied by the melee bullies too.

Renekton is a stupidly binary champion, either his numbers are big enough for him to win trades or they aren't, period, he's exactly what this game does NOT need. Most bruiser bullies are completely binary gap-close-to-trade champions with nothing interesting but slight differences, I wouldn't want to live on that meta. In fact, if the stupidly powerful junglers like Lee got nerfed appropiately (by this I mean, they're giving SOMETHING up for their early game influence like Shaco does) you would see an even more healthy toplane with a larger variety of matchups, right now there's many toplaners who go like "Yeah, Cho'Gath is awesome at being a tank while sustaining ranged bullies AND disengaging from melee bullies, too bad he has no escapes and Lee Sin will own his ass"
