Solo/1v2 Laning - Best Picks

[quote=orochinagi]Nasus can hold up 1v2... but he won't farm his Q as he should. Personally I wouldn't say he's top 5[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Idk, I rarely do 1 v 2. I mainly either mid or 2 v 2, or jungle. Though my jungling has paled off lately.[/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf]Nasus is a good 1v1, a tad hard if faced against Ranged Champ but makeable. RS Vlad = Rocksolid Team Vlad, guess Hotshot was playing against him with Swain.[/quote]

[quote=Xiaowiriamu]Ahh yeah RS, but still it shows Swain's potential in the laning phase, he still owns the majority of champions in mid when played right. In other words hes a great solo lane champion.[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]Lol, Irelia gets fucked 1-5 if she is against 1v2. Renekton is the best in the game, seriously can take them 1v2 when he takes 6 and kill one of them only to dash one because of the level advantage and the fact Renekton is the strongest melee laner.[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas]Did I hear Vlad for 1v2? Have you guys ever played against competent teams? Vlad is IMMEDIATELY zoned at level 1 and has to literally TRY to leech his way to 5 before he can actually TRY to compete with the other two laners, who should be about level 5.5 by then from zoning. Vlad's early game is SO BAD that most aggressive laners (1v1) will win against him until about level 5, where it evens out, then level 7+ Vlad starts to dominate.[/quote]

[quote=Miraisen]Here's one thing. I've seen Shurelia's tutorial on zoning enemies which was helpful. Are there any tips on how to NOT get zoned? I'm having trouble grasping how you could not get zoned on a 2v1 when you are a solo top melee character?[/quote]

[quote=DocSmoothJew]Yeah, I've wrecked Vlad as AD Teemo 1v1 until around level 5 where I started having trouble. Basically, I agree that Vlad 1v2 top is pretty ugly. I've had to do it once and it was not fun (then again it was a Ryze and Sion I think). Nasus I think can survive, but as was mentioned he won't get farmed much and you might still lose your tower earlier than one would like.[/quote]

[/quote] No you're pretty much going to have to be zoned; there's no way to stop it unless your jungler or roamer helps you out a bit. People with long distance, low cost (or no cost), low CD skill shots are better picks so that they can try to ward the enemies away. This means Mundo, Kennen, just to name a few. High CD skills, lack of skill shots, high costs, or melee range will all pretty much screw you 1v2.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Swain is a really competent 1v2, being able to farm well and heal up at level 6.[/quote]
