Well duh. Did you notice I included Mordekaiser? I'd hardly consider him viable.

I listed all of the -notable- solo tops I could think of for any elo. Any other champions I didn't mention (unless I forgot them) simply don't belong there. Some of the champs I mentioned CAN solo top, but are better off elsewhere. Some should solo top, but are just UP atm (like Mundo).

If we were talking viable-at-high-elo solo tops, the list would probably be less than half the size. As it is, I don't think that's what the OP was asking.

tl;dr (don't know why I wrote such a long post): ikr?
Thanks to Fatelblade for the sig!

That's your answer to everything.


Maokai to Lugi, Olaf to DuffTime, Evelynn to me... o_o

Anyway, every champion can solo top, it's just a matter which is the best, for example, you'll want a sustainable, farm relying champion top. I mean, you could put Janna top, as shown by Hotshot, but it'd still be better to pick someone like Irelia or Nidalee.

I almost excluslively play unranked, but I like Olaf as a solo top. He's really flexible in that he can hold his own in most 1v2s and still get enough farm to be effective early and into mid (when his jungler comes to gank, and even sometimes just by himself, he can clear the lane of both enemy champs), and he's dominant against most match-ups 1v1 because of how much unresisted damage he outputs, combined with his sustain/survivability thanks to W and his passive. Maokai does well in a 1v1 lane, but runs into severe mana problems 1v2, to the point where I doubt Clarity would even make up for it, and the same goes for melee-only champs such as Riven, Garen and Tryndamere.

I guess there's a certain element of unpredictability to low ELO that makes Olaf such a safe choice, though. I can't really name a champ I've faced who's hard-countered me by himself, with the closest being a soft-counter from a Tristana who literally just constantly chugged health potions the entire laning phase to outlast me, and I doubt it would happen again, because I just didn't know how to deal with it, and the other closest thing being an actual skilled Tryndamere with good jungle support against me with poor jungle support.

lol Psi, thats a huge list, good job

Morde was a great solo top, but got nerfed hard. His buffs did nothing, I played a match yesterday and he's still weak

@ OP:
A lot.
Depending on the matchup, pretty much everyone is viable.

Olaf is one of my favorites for solo top. Annoy with Axe, farm, if he gets smart just E him, and farm again to get health back. So easy.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

If you want 3 solo tops that can handle almost anything thrown at them.

Cho, Olaf, Sion.

Then Tryn is my honorable mention ^_^
