Jarvan. Bullies certain lane matchups hard with E+Q. Can build full AD and play like an assassin or go tanky with a Hydra/cleaver for strong engages. Can be traded to jungle if counterpicked top (like vs a Vladimir), and fits most comps.

His laning phase is a little different to learn, and he has decently high mana costs. But once you get used to him he can destroy certain matchups and carry hard.

You might also consider liss, her good wave clear and harass allow for a hard lane for the enemy and she has a really long gap closer/escape

In my experience, you should practice and play champions you love. Try to have some variety of course and try to limit the amount of champions per lane/area to 5. Otherwise your champion pool will be too big and improving will be more difficult. As of now, I do not see any AP tops in your top lane pool. This is important in the instance your mid laner might go AD.

You should definitely include one, it's just too important. Besides, look at the selection! :o it's up to you.

If I have a tanky jungler or support on my team (or both), I go Quinn top. ...well, even without the tank on the team, I'd still go Quinn top. It's too funny. She's really good against champs like Garen Riven Jax MonkeyKing etc., though Jax hurts a lot when he hits, and Quinn has very low HP as it is. She's also great at pissing off Nasus and denying him stacks.

I tried her with the new item 3153 and it was surprisingly very effective.
