Top Lane Champs for Low Tier Ranked Games?

Milk Teä·10/19/2015, 8:18:13 PM·1 votes·832 views

So I really wanna play ranked soon since I've been too much of a wuss to do it all this season, so I figured I should at least do my provissionals before the season ends. Anywho, I'm pretty comfortable with all roles except top lane, which clearly is my worst lane. I'll be honest, I don't own a whole lot of top lane champs, most of the time, I just take ADCs, mid laners, and junglers that can go top, which typically doesn't work out well. Here are the champs I take top most of the time: Riven Garen MasterYi Shyvana Vayne Chogath Caitlyn (trust me, it's worked) Teemo (I refrain from picking Teemo since he falls off so hard during late game) That being said, who are some good champions to take top lane for a low tier ranked game? I would prefer 1350 champs since I'd like to get them fairly quickly (or at least before the season ends). I prefer ranged champions by far. I also main ADC but I can play any role decently. The champs I am most comfortable with are Ahri Caitlyn Jinx Kalista Cassiopeia Ashe Varus Twitch Tristana Veigar

Thank you for the help guys!!

Top lane Shen that is all you will ever need... He has no counter, and can make many plays globally with summoner 12 and Stand United...

Nasus is pretty easy. Last hit with Q, don't take too much harass, and once you have good damage, you can give EVERYONE the cane! Early game is pretty weak, but he's super tanky later on with a ton of damage. It's so easy and hilarious.

There's Lulu top if you want to count that as ranged.

Nasus is op in low elo because they can't end games. Picking Malphite, Shen or Amumu will also force the other team to rq

Hi there, top lane main.

Garen is the definition of a beginner's top laner, thanks to his high damage, durability, and fairly easy to grasp playstyle. Unfortunately, he's banned every game.

So another cheap champion I'd recommend is:

Tryndamere Tryndamere is also pretty easy to play. His high base AD, his passive, and the passive on his Q make it fairly easy to farm with him, which is good because, although Tryndamere can easily cheese his opponent at level 2, he can also easily farm up to late game and become a splitpushing monster that is invincible one on one.

DrMundo is another good choice after his most recent buffs. Your goal is simple. Farm up, and become unkillable. Like Tryndamere, Mundo is a champion that is perfectly capable of passively farming (with his cleavers) and scaling throughout the game by becoming a tanky badass who can team fight or splitpush, whichever his team needs.

Want to be more of a team player, and take on a more supportive role?

Malphite Particularly good against heavy AD teams and champions that rely on auto attacks (like Tryndamere or Vayne), Malphite can build full tank and, even if he falls behind, can still be useful to his team.

Sion One of the champions I learned top lane with. Farm up, get tanky, and be the primary initiator super tank on your team. Can be a huge lane bully against the right laning opponent.

Shen A bit more expensive, but every top laner should learn Shen. Shen teaches top laners map awareness, and a Stand United play early on can snowball bot and win games.

Pantheon otherwise known as THE lane bully. If you're smart about mana management and able to work around having no escapes beyond summoner 4 or an unlucky enemy minion behind you, then you'll be set against most top laners. I main him top (though I play blind normals) and the only champions I've had trouble with in Top are Darius DrMundo Shaco and sometimes Teemo.
