Need help with finding third top lane champ.

I play Shyvana and Rumble top and I'm trying to find one more to play in the top lane. I'd Prefer one that scales with AD. Any advice?

Do you want a bruiser, tank, splitpusher, carry, etc etc? Shyvana has a lot of variation in her build, but Rumble isn't crazy tanky or anything. Honestly I feel like Gnar and Rumble are somewhat similar, in that you have to manage their rage/heat bars.

Play Evelynn to screw with people, haha.

EDIT: I'm actually somewhat serious because she has pretty good dueling potential and her AD Bruiser build is one of the more viable builds she has.

Jayce is always a good pick.

Get Morde for top lane and hue your self to victory as you spam e to simultaneously clear a vace and provide lots of harass to the enemy

Tryndamere is a pretty effective top lane. Although he is not as great a teamfighter he is an insane splitpusher.

Others I could suggest are Irelia, Renekton, Wukong, and Riven.

If you are not overlooking mages then Ryze, Cho'Gath, Alistar(can be hybrid I guess), Kayle(ditto), and Maokai have relatively strong laning and teamfight.

Outliers are Warwick, Jayce, Pantheon, and Shen.

Not sure about the stability of Nidalee; she is pretty hated.

Jayce and gnar are the ones I've been debating. Been looking for a bruiser because its more my play style. Also I will try the Evelyn bruiser sometime lol!

Gnar would probably be closest to Shyvana, because unlike Jayce his melee form is not only widely useful, but you're forced to use it. He also takes quite a bit of joy in leaping headlong into the enemy team when the time is right, whereas Jayce stays in ranged unless he needs a quick extra burst of damage, usually.

If you're looking for good teamfighters, Wukong is a good option. For splitpushers, Nidalee is probably the best right now, with Irelia close behind. If you're interested in off-builds, I don't have the personal experience to recommend bruiser Evelynn, but if you're interested in an admittedly intense mechanical challenge, AD Malzahar can do work up top.

Sion is a fair split pusher/anti-split pusher, but his viability really depends on how much CC your enemies have. He's similar to Nasus but is a little better at early trades and weaker to ganks overall.

For some odd reason I've never bought sion, but he's cheap and I'm open for anything to figure out my third champ.

Thanks I just bought gnar to see if he's what I'm looking for, and ill try Irelia and Nidalee. AD mall sounds different like the Evelynn bruiser lol. I think Wukong is what I'm looking for since his abilities are extremely nice to have in team fights. Thank you for the advice.
