Alright so i just started using up top. A lot of top laners says she's good. And when i was using her today i kinda didn't know what i was doing. So can you look at this match and tell me if i did pretty good or bad? honestly i think i did pretty bad but who knows. shes a little different from what I'm use to. I usually main , up top and i want to use as one of my mains. also what are some other good top solo laners as well???? Here are all my Top laners right now list from the ones i use to the most to the least:

Also who should i get and who's really good up top. also How difficult will they be ban if i do a draft game? One last thing are my mains good for Draft "Rank" games????

Irelia Review: Itemization- 1.) Irelia doesn't need item 3153 ... like at all. Yeah, it's ok and some people like to build it, but she doesn't need it. 2.) You got a item 3065 , but you really didn't need it. Their team has almost no magic damage that you needed to worry about. W, Ult, and were plenty of sustain... even without the . 3.) Looks like you started item 1055 ... I don't know anyone who starts that. item 2041 is SUCH a good item on her to start. The 7 ad does all of nothing for you, the lifesteal is negligible, and while the health is nice it is not needed. She has high base stats.

Runes- 4.) It looks like you're missing a Quint, a Seal, and a Glyph. You should get a 9th Glyph and a 3rd AD Quint. However, I normally take armor pen Marks and Health Seals. Health Seals intimidate your enemy and usually give you the edge you need, and armor pen Marks let you fight against that pesky item 1029 they'll probably buy... or just make your ult do big dick damage and heal you for a lot.

Masteries- 5.) Your masteries are OK, but there's room for improvement. Such as, don't get that Double-Edged sword. You won't need it and it's more likely to get you fucked by a gank than to be the thing that nets you the kill. 6.) Use that point to pick up Feast (from Butcher) 7.) You WILL NOT crit enough to make use of Frenzy. Take that point and put it into Expose Weakness. As a tanky/bruiser you don't need a lot of kills anyway. Those are better given to your carries in mid or bot anyway. 8.) Take those points in Fury and put them into Sorcery. That little bit of CDR and from the items you can buy goes A LONG way. Ult is up very frequently and so is your Equilibrium Strike. item 3078 will give you plenty of attack speed anyway. 9.) When you hit 30, finish out Veteran's Scars and put one into Juggernaut.

Champion Pool Review: 1.) Aatrox isn't quite in the meta... though I don't think he's a terrible pick if you get good at him. I can for sure say you will probably never see him banned this year. But there are stronger picks for yourself and your team. 2.) Hecarim is very strong this season. Good pick, however he has a decently high ban frequency. 3.) I don't recommend assassin top laners like Talon . His split push is pretty meh, but it also sacrifices a tank/bruiser for your team. Not to mention tanks counter assassins so you'll probably get dumpstered in this meta against any competent players. 4.) Tryndamere and MasterYi are situational tops. They do fairly well just because they're cheesy (Trynd crits/immortality and Yi's true damage/double strike). They're HELLA GOOD split pushers, so if your team is doing ok enough to stop the enemy from taking your base, then awesome. But if they're not, you're probably not gonna be the one thing that saves the day. 5.) I suggest picking up Riven . She brings a lot of CC and damage to the table on top of being a safe top laner with all her mobility. Watch out, CC counters her so make sure you're not gonna be too boned if you pick her. If you're confident, get a item 3139 and that should help a ton.

Well that's it, buddy. Good luck in your games. Hope I've helped. If you have any questions ask me. If you think I'm an idiot, don't say that. Why would you be mean to me? I tried to help you. :^(

I mean, your score is fine. It looks like you're level 27, so overall not too bad.

You definitely could do a much better job getting last hits- I'd expect at least 250 or 300 in a 45 minute game like that.

As far as build order, I'm not a particular fan of what you did. Typically, I start either Crystalline Flask+3 pots or Cloth Armor+5, depending on my lane opponent. Flask vs easy matchups/ AP laners, Cloth 5 vs strong early game ADs (like Renekton, J4, Riven). Also, I would not get an early vamp scepter. Your W already gives you sufficient sustain for most circumstances.

This is an issue I see tons of low elo/low level players have- you purchased FAR too many pots both times you based. Practice managing your mana- don't use your skills if you don't need them. You should only need 2-3 health pots and 1 mana pot at most per time you recall. Crystalline flask would mean you shouldn't need any additional pots.

Final points: I'm not a big fan of BoTRK on Irelia. At best it's a situational item. Considering that there are no real tanks on their team, I DEFINITELY would not have bought it in this game. Also, considering that you are new to her, I would take 9/21 masteries instead of 21/9. This is especially true since you're only level 27- taking 9/18 masteries is much stronger than 21/6.
