Doran's shield changes and Gnar nerfs go through
People start playing melee champs top lane again.
Melee top laners get direct nerfs over first few months of season 5, top lane meta goes back to ranged champions for mid/late season.
Then some item gets changed and tanks become good again top lane too along with ranged champs.
Worlds consists of no bruisers top lane again.
Thoughts?
OblongOtter5 votesMy thought that was AP might rise because of the inability to buy early MR. Unless they changed that and I missed it. Aaaaaaand now I want to see Captain Falcon as a bruiser champ in the game. Cmon Nintendo, pair up with Riot on this one.

Captain Falcon as a Vi skin is totally doable. She already has falcon punch and raptor boost, and her Q is basically falcon kick (except that it's a punch, but that can be edited.)
Wheatloaf1 votesPut League on the Crysis graphics engine and then maybe we could do that skin justice.
Caezium3 votesEh. People always complain that melee (bruiser) tops either do too much dmg or are too tanky. (or both) and then they get nerfed.
I could see your prediction happening. lol
cshakes3 votesRyze will be annoying, and Irelia will be nerfed.

This is a joke right
Except avoid all of his damage because it's so telegraphed while poking him to death

nope sions E has a longer poke range then ryze. shooting a minion into him does alot of damage while shredding his defence. if ryze come in to do damage to sion he just bubbles and absorbs it and the best part of the match up is when ryze trys to lay down his combo rooting sion all he needs to do is bubble a Q ryze must be inside sions Q range to do any major damage leaving him wide open for a good channel on his knock up and then cant run since sions E slows his excape.
Try it i havnt lost this match up yet and you would not be the exception
Xenth43 votesWhy would ryze force trades in this match up though when he has the opportunity to free farm/work on tear stacks lol
TheUndeadFish3 votesNidalee nerfed, Yorick wins every match up, but still only 3 people play him.
Junkο1 votesNailed prediction
Drunk Rummate1 votesdoran shield buffs will probably bring in some tankier top laners to the meta. maybe we'll see more mundo, shyvana, trundle, renekton again. top lane will still always be the "duelist" lane, so don't expect quinn, jayce, etc. to disappear though. depending on the toplane pick kalista may be a great toplaner as well. i imagine she'd absolutely dumpster a shyvana, for example.
jusho11 votesfree farm?? ho can he free farm when his own minions are being shot at him any time he gets close?
Xenth42 votesIts called juking, ive played this match up quite a bit as ryze and it's not difficult unless the enemy jungle is camping your lane which, makes any lane difficult lol.
