Hey everyone! I have over 2k RP and I need help deciding what to do with it all. I was thinking about getting Lissandra and maybe even more but I need to know who is really good top lane right now and if they're getting better possibly. Any advice?
DDasani2 votesI have Irelia and I don't really care for Gnar that much honestly
DDasani2 votesSo should I go ahead and buy Lissandra?
HghAMDlPIX1 votesNo, she is currently NOT good in this meta.
kneel on Ice1 votesTotally , she's getting a buff next patch (tomorrow) and she'll be one of the strongest mages of this meta

You can buy her now. She isn't good now. But by the time you get good with her after buying her she will be good and you'll be in full position to exploit her when she is strong. She's more of a niche mid laner though. Always has been.
As far as top laners go Maokai and Gnar see the most LCS play. But if you're like me then you could care less about LCS stuff. Pick something you would like or someone who you can learn a new skill on. Shen and Jax are good choices for learning how to animation cancel your auto attacks. But both are fairly cheap and not worth wasting RP on. Darius is a superior lane bully and dishes out lots of damage with only 1-2 damage items. Volibear is a superb duelist and doesn't even need damage items to be a heavy hitter. And there's always Vladimir too who can become deceptively tanky late game.
But if I had the RP I would be spending it on a ward skin. Atleast for me (being a support main) it's nice to know which wards are mine. Helps me keep better track of which wards are mine.
S2C2Xd9KOy2 votesLissandra isn't fun imo or very good. Also, I'd never spend RP on a champion, unless you desperately want them. If I were you i'd hold onto it until something comes out that you think "Yes, thats definitely worth $20", then go ahead and buy that. If you think Liss is worth $10, then go ahead and buy her. If you dont/can't add RP often, keep in mind that Worlds and Harrowing are both coming up soon meaning new summoner icons, skins and ward skins (potentially) for both events.
EDIT: Just realized that you do actually want to spend some on a champion for top lane. Id recommend checking out the august sales page and seeing if any champions are in there that you like and wouldn't mind waiting up to a couple weeks for. Fun top laners are champions like Riven, Gnar, Maokai, Lulu*, Nidalee, Darius, Akali, J4 , Cass etc.
lennzy1 votesit all depends on your play style do you want to be the tank engage teleport on your team or do you want to be the split pusher while your team holds down the fort?

Well, I kinda want splt pushing...Who'd be good for that?
lennzy1 votesid really recommend irelia if you dont' have her shes a really good duelist all she needs is her trinity force and blade of the ruined king and then go tanky and nothing can stop you trinity force is her biggest power spike
lennzy1 votesbut if you want to adjust from split pushing to tanking gnar is really good at both
Darknixx1 votesGood Splitpushers that do lots of Damage: Tryndamere, Jax, Aatrox, Heimerdinger Good Splitpushers that are pretty tanky: Garen, Nasus, Olaf
I also agree with Blue Speccs here about Irelia being a great tanky damage dealer who can splitpush easily.
Just my opinions! Hope at least one works out for you. I find Aatrox as a really good pick here.
Icestar11861 votesMaokai is pretty much always a good pick top if you need a tank.
HghAMDlPIX1 votesYou are welcomed to gift me soemthing.
DDasani1 votesShould I get Riven? I mena I played her during an ARAM and I found her quite easy tbh.
