I'm currently in Low Silver 5, and while i am able to get fed or at least win the lane(Irelia),seemingly every single time,the other two lanes lose hard. while i can roam to mid and teleport to bot,i can only do that so often if i have teleport unless i am pantheon and took teleport. So,any strong semi tanky top laners that can carry games hard?
Rather than focusing on carrying being a result of WHO you play, look at it as a result of HOW you play and what you do with what you have. Many people play a champ because they can get fed, but do not know how to use their lead properly and lose games. My advice is to pick a champion you know you won't have trouble winning lane with. However, once you are ahead of your opponent focus on the fact that you are the strongest player on your team and recognize that your team needs YOU to be the one who takes objectives for/with them. Getting fed won't win a game; getting fed and using that strength to destroy the enemy base WILL win you a game.
Irelia. Fiora, kinda, though she doesn't get very tanky at all. Nasus if you can get dem q stacks (though he's a bad pick against a mobile champ). Panth (though I think he's better jungle because lol level 2 dragon), Mundo, Ryze. Ryze is a great counterpick to most top laners. Ryze and Mundo scale VERY well but tend to have a weaker earlier game. Rumble. I personally like Swain in the top lane, and if he can get fed, he's DEVASTATING (though immobility is a problem).
I took a quick look at your past 20 ranked games. Looks like you're top in 5 of them, all 5 times as Irelia. Here's the breakdown:
4/4/11, but your team has no adc and no support. Predictably, this was a loss. There's little you can do when this happens.
4/3/2, your team's adc was 13/6/7 and your support was 7/4/16. Enemy Jinx was 3/8/1 with 26 cs. Meanwhile, your lane opponent was 10/4/2 with more farm than anyone on either team.
6/6/6, your adc 16/9/6 compared to the enemy adc's 3/10/6. But the enemy Fiora was 16/4/12 and they won.
5/3/1, your adc 4/0/5, your sup 5/1/6, your mid 5/0/4.
9/0/2, your adc 5/3/7, your sup 1/3/9, your mid 4/2/7.
I'd say you have plenty of games where your mid and/or bot do just fine, and you have plenty of games where you don't win your lane. Rather than trying to alter your playstyle to account for the fact that your other lanes will always lose, you should understand that your lanes are going to lose half the time and win half the time. You should simply try to improve at every aspect of the game, rather than attempting to fill the shoes of the mythological Ugh-Bronze-Team-So-Heavy hypercarry.
Rumble. His damage can be really disgusting, single target and area of effect. He really takes some getting used to though. His heat mechanic is unique only to him and his ult is pretty special too... If you go play him just know you don't necessarily play him like a melee all the time, it can be fine to just harass with flamespitter sometimes- it won't draw minion aggro since it's an ability. But do know when to melee, like when you smell the kill. Also you might want to spam your Q before minions spawn to heat up to 50% just because. However don't expect to be super strong until you get a few levels as rumble.
Pantheon is pretty good too for a top lane carry. Pretty straightforward. Strong lane, use that and his ulti ganks to snowball.
Akali is very strong too. She starts out slow, but if Akali gets fed she's pretty broken
Gnar is my personal favorite top lane. He's a tank that plays like a ranged. He suits me perfectly but it takes some experience to fully utilize Gnar. In teamfights Mega Gnar's CC is pretty broken. Little Gnar has some really solid damage. In lane Gnar is very safe pick... expect nerfs
Nasus, Riven, Garen(If you know how to play him), Fiora, Irelia.
A amazing top laner is Darius .. Hes tanky and deals damage and that ult always kills if you can hit the basic attacks for his passive ability to bleed the opponent. Irelia is perfect to I have played her and got the most easiest kills ever. Your best bet is Darius and pick up dunkmaster and dunk on everyone! 
Atrox is awesome for carrying in the top lane
Vayne. She is literally a carry.
Jarvan or Ryze.
You'll thank me later.
Riven - takes practice but I well worth it
Nasus - crazy late game assuming you survive until then
and finally one of the most carriable = Master Yi. Mid to late game Yi has an insane power spike when played correctly. Most low elo players do not know how to deal with his damage and use CC incorrectly. He can assassinate any of the other team when fed if you use your Q to dodge cc. If you haven't tried you should give Yi a go but whether jungle or top is your choice
MASTER FUCKIN' YI MAN IM TELLIN YA
a lot of champs can go top lane. even adc, apc and support champs. usually the ones with hard time clearing don't do well in solo lanes.
