Need new champion for top/jungle

missou·3/19/2015, 4:15:37 PM·1 votes·879 views

I currently main Hecarim. I play a fair bit of Cho'Gath and Udyr when I don't get him, which is suddenly a lot of the time now that Hecarim's a standard top lane pick. I'm looking to expand my backup champion pool a bit.

Considering:

Top or jungle. Strong tank-killing bruiser, BORK core, seems potentially strong in the Cinderhulk meta. Jungle or support. Strong CC, decent damage and tankiness. Looks clunky and inconsistent, though. Jungle. Lots of people are picking him up. Does kind of low damage, though. Jungle. Obviously really strong, but is picked or banned and getting nerfs.
Top or mid. Not overwhelming, but getting buffs and seems favored in the current meta, with magic damage tank junglers and AP top laners everywhere. Top or mid. Obnoxious midgame, but weak earlygame and average lategame, craptastic CC/mobility. Jungle. Pretty generic AP tank jungler, seems to be getting really popular again with Cinderhulk. Top or jungle. Don't know much about him, but seems to be getting played with a lot of success. Top. Obviously both super strong, but are contested picks and probably getting nerfs.

Any insight/recommendations? Having a hard time narrowing the choices down.

Trundle is my all time favorite champ in the game, he is simple to use, but has a lot of power and strategy and a surprisingly high skill cap for somebody so easy to pick up. They just gave him some minor buffs that help him out a lot in lane and in jungle. He is extremely underrated (but he is kind of weak against AP, so jungle is probably the safer role at the moment), and while most people build him very tanky like item 3025 item 3153 item 3065 item 3083 item 3717 item 3264 / item 3269 (which can work very well) he can also build as a melee carry (like item 3078 item 3074 item 3110 / ) and literally eat towers whenever he wants because of his multiple steroids multiplying his DPS exponentially. He is one of the few champions who can get away with stacking lifesteal because his AS steroid and AD steroid along with his self healing buff can make him heal from 50-100 in seconds. His sustain is beyond godlike and he is overall one of the top 3 or 4 duelists in the whole game. Just make sure to get alacrity enchant and some sort of sticking power every game, as well as a sheen item, since he lacks the natural ability to stick to a target once his pillar is down and he is outside his frozen domain.

EDIT: He also doesn't do badly if behind, because he can just tank up and rely on his innate steroids and utility to keep relevant, where if he gets ahead he crushes the game very quickly because of his tower killer style.
