You seem to enjoy more damage focused top laners, so you could try: Irelia, Vladimir, Rumble, Hecarim and Kennen is still a solid pick in top lane.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Lulu isn't really a damage focussed top laner though. She's very supportive and deals little damage, even though you build her full utility.

I believe that they are both bad in top lane atm.

You want to dominate top lane? Get Vladimir, rush Luden's Tempest (the wisp goes first) and Q run Q run Q run ad infinitum. Most laners can't catch up with you (especially if you have 3 points in movement masteries) and you can just get them low and zone them pre-6 or finish them post-6. It's hard to gank Vladimir because his decent escape and when people come to damage you it's all too easy to become invulnerable mid-burst. You then go on to build Ionian Boots of Lucidity with Enchantment: Alacrity, Spirit Visage. If there are lots of burst champs that are taking you down too fast you get Abyssal Mask, otherwise go Thornmail first, and then Rabadon's Deathcap. With these 6 items you scale better than most other champs in the new tank meta. Your large health pool doesn't hurt either.

These responses make me laugh. Mordekaiser destroys all the champions that were listed by those above me. If you play Morde you can win any lane matchup top lane, because he destroys everyone. If you like damage-oriented champs you'll like Morde for sure. If you follow a good build like I do, you can easily 1 shot a fully built tank. Also, you look really badass when you swing your club.

If you want you can check out my Mordekaiser Guide Once a month I update it daily.
