League of Legends (LoL) Question: Top 3 top lane champions versatile to each other

Hi, I would suggest that if you want some tanky, you have to pick Darius or Garen since they both are a Juggernaut... if you want something AP, Teemo or Lissandra is my pick... but for AD I would suggest Graves or Riven... ^_^

Hey. Like you, I have a relatively limited rune book; I play Top/Jungle main and also try to cover all the roles I might need for a team. I'll recommend the ones I've had success with.

I don't own Darius, but I've played him on the free to play (He'll be my next purchase) and he really is awesome. Easy to play and is never really obsolete in a team, always a solid pick who is strong at all points in the game. The downside of having him in a limited champion pool is he's often banned in draft picks and ranked. (Like 50% of the time)

Pantheon was my first proper champion, and my most played. He's an early/mid game champ and has a LOT of harassing power, while being very tanky 1v1 thanks to his passive and W (Two blocks which is fantastic for trading) He's easy to play and such a lane bully, can be very effective at shutting down the enemy laners farm (And normally pick up a few kills) He's got good last hitting, thanks to his E passive and good assassination power with his full combo after you have poked down your target with your spear (Which isn't even a skill shot)Because he does fall off late game, he's a really good pick with teams that have a good late game, if you can snowball the other lanes, which is made easy with his ultimate.

Quinn is a newish champ I picked up but I've had success with her (In certain situations) She's a very powerful roamer and splitpusher, and can be a beast in lane. For me she's a counterpick I choose against certain common top champions. Basically anything that's melee and doesn't have a solid gap closer. You can poke them down very quickly. If played well, she's also good at avoiding ganks, as her E: Vault, slows the target while you dash away from them, great if you can position yourself well enough to get some space and turn he gank into a kill. She is squishy though, and once you're out of skills, you are vulnerable. I'm new to her but seen her wonderful potential, but also have learnt how painful she can be if not played great! (Don't pick vs Teemo!!!)

My favorite at the moment is Gangplank. He's never really a 'bad' pick, and not that often banned, while being very strong. His W cleanse/heal is great for sustain and surviving, and he can farm safely with his barrels even if he's against a fed/dangerous opponent. Also great for teamfights and his ultimate is a massive team asset in laning (And team fights) with it's global presence, even if you miss the fight, or don't see it happening in time, you can often pick up/secure a kill with it on stragglers. Also very strong at turning ganks around and helping your jungler gank elsewhere. Like Darius he's strong all the way through the game. He Can build a tanky brawler type when needed, or full dps if your team is lacking there. He's quite cheap, and so much fun to play. Buy him.

Honorable mentions would be Trundle (For a proper tank, who's also very, very dangerous with his ultimate dps wise too) and probably Wukong, for is assassinating ability, tanky when needed, and teamfighting strengths in his ultimate. I don't own either of these though so I'm fairly limited.

Hope this helps.

This is actually a good topic for a thread, discussion included. I could throw a trio here and you'd see some flaw, leading into another trio, into another flaw, etc.

For the sake of answering something:

• Vladimir (mage, late-game, teamfighting)
• Maokai/ Nautilus (tanky, lots of CC, teamfighting)
• Quinn/ Graves/ Vayne (AD damage, late-game, roaming/splitpushing)

I guess you could swap the adc for a fighter like Irelia or a splitpusher like Fiora.

Riven
Teemo
Poppy

Hello, I whould suggest you Darius, Tanky, can carry, good farming basicly fit's to your description=). Illaoi has **** tons of damage, sadly no cc, but in TF can do alot of damage, with ulti and his passive. New Poppy can do so much in TF. she can peel alot for your ADC, and others. she has good amount of damage, and has versatile build.
