I'm trying to learn top lane. I'm mostly a mid player with some bot/support games if I have a duo. Anyway I'd like to know what are the best and worst champs, why, what runes do I use and how do I build for them. Are there any top lane players who stream/have a yt account that you recommend for me to watch? I'm not really confident when it comes to top and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Any advice would be appreciated. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
nearly anything goes , its the clusterfukassclownfiesta meta
as you see in mid, jungle and bot lane.
pick champs you think you like, look up runes/items on sites like lolalytics.com for said champ and go play.
if you're a nervous player, Ornn is a great top-laner for passive play. He has a lot of ways to stop aggression, and buying in lane can maker sure you get your farm, then he's a late-game initiation monster. Max that Q first and hit your skill shots <3

Well here's your problem. Confidence is at least two thirds of the top lane experience. If your opponent senses weakness they will try to capitalize on it.
What sort of champions do you play mid lane? I can make some recommendations to ease you into the lane, but I need to know what you're used to playing first. Top lane is kind of the wild west of the map, and most things can work there if you're willing to learn. The problem is so many things work there that every once in a while someone surprises you with something you didn't expect, but that's part of why I like the lane.
I don't know many youtubers and streamers, but if I had to recommend anyone it would be Gbay99. He's a top laner forged in the fires of seasons 1-3, and it really shows in his style of play.
Top lane is dominated by champs with a shit load of mobility, stun/slows or both. You usually need the mobility to have any shot at escaping ganks in the long lane.
Morg. Legit 5 roler.
They say top lane is a lane island.... but nownto me it feels better than Hawaii itself. I just don't want to leave hard and challenging duels my enemy laner would offer. ...until a random jungler comes and gives the enemy first blood. Besides that, bruisers shine a lot, tanks are mostly dead, so if you say you're a mid laner you'll have a hard time adapting to top pane because you'll be facing gap closers and all inns a lot more than getting cc combo'd to death. But I guess it's as annoying to deal with bruisers on top lane as dealing with assasins on mid lane? If so, then get used to permabanning Camille and Conqueror (ab)users.
