For starters let's make sure you know I'm a walking genius at any champ you can name unless it's totally fictional like Urgot let's all be serious such a char does not exists.
That said, like you common mortals, I've got champs I'm better at for any role.
When it comes to jungle anything goes as I'm a jungler, no seriusly any jungler including Ezreal and Twitch
If I'm support and I play Janna I make it so unfair that LoL gives enemies the chance to surrender before 20:00
As AD ranged I just wreck the house if I'm given Caitlyn
On mid I can get cassiopea and Morgana to make my opponent cry
and in solo top...
here's the problem, I can't find a char that makes me say, k I'ma use X champ solo top, *****es gonna cry.
With all solo top champs I've had my up and downs, being ups when I completly destroy enemy team, being downs when I'm still amazing and great and unkillable, yet somehow my enemy manages to get more kills than me, and those kills seem to be very close to the number of my deaths if not identical, yet it wasn't me, I swear.

I play a lot of different solo tops, only exceptions are those I don't own and Olaf it was a mistake buying him since he's a bad champ that's only loved by premature ejaculators because they see themself in the mechnics of undertrow (you know, every time you grab your "axe" you're ready to "shoot").

Jokes and random insults to Duff's serious medical condition aside how can I determine who's a fitting solo top for my style?

Irelia I farm with her, I net kills on enemy solo top with her, then I get to teamfights and I'm just like "and now?"
Nasus hardly have below 500/600 damage on Siphoning Strike lategame, yet I get kited like a dumbass
Riven I find her amazing yet sometimes a random Wukong appears and rapes me without using protections (it's not always Wu, but this all started because today I got destroyed by him after killing him 1st and actually outfarming him by a good amount, suddently he started raping me and made me look like and feel like a feeder, I ended the game something like 2/8 doing worst than our support Ryze bot)
Renekton barely play him, never failed, but he bores me
Swain situational, if a wild Yorick appears toplane I get so zoned I wanna cry
Yorik if I got 2/0 before lvl 6 on Talon while having 2 times his creeps, then he makes lvl 6 and rapes me something has got to be wrong
Singed I used to be so good at him, then I stopped playing him, lately I've had him for 2 games and I utterly failed, have I lost my touch?
Vladimir I might be the reason for he's called badimir
Leona never failed with her solo top, no team allows me to solo top with her anymore tho
Galio always did good, then one game I got raped by Akali regardless having something like 120MR never picked him anymore
Udyr only use him to counter Talon lately, better use him for jungle
Nidalee still need to see this new HotShotNidaleeGG tanky DPS build (how's that itemized btw? any links), when I used to play her AP after heal nerf I kept having ok laning then got to teamfighting and had ni friggin idea what to do.
Garen he should be my pick considering just how ****ing good I do with him, but he bored the **** out of me in season one, if possible I would like to never use him again in my life
Jarvan IV I think I'm good at him despite my 1W 3L season record, is just that everytime I'm in champ select and I'm thinking about playing him I end up picking someone else because I feelthere are way better options
Wukong rite now he would be my pick if had him but I dunno how long he would last

I dunno if this whole post makes any sense to anyone, but if it does, PLEASE HELP ME I'M DESPERATE

oh if your answer is "just don't be solo top" just don't post.

For all you questions about jungling

Irelia>Garen>Cho Gath

Irelia is op. DK what to do in teamfight? Kill. Dat. Squishy.

Garen wins ;lane demacia style.

Cho gath is just a baws top lane.

Between those 3 you should be able to fit any teamcomp with the desired crying effect.

Well, it's not the champions - It's you. You don't know how to teamfight properly on a solo top champion. Irelia should be first or second into the teamfight, tanking damage and focusing the carry hard.
Nidalee has a complex teamfighting method - You should stay back and harass any squishies with spears, when the tank initiates, you turn into a cougar, run in and rip their face up. Nidalee doesn't have a bad endgame - It's just people aren't playing her right endgame.

Rumble

/end thread

As it is the strongest champs top are Rumble, Gangplank and Yorick. Those champions can **** about ANYONE

Irelia beats a lot of tops and is hard to shut down, same with Nasus but both of them struggle against aggressive lanes such as Riven, Talon, Renekton and Lee Sin

Irelia and Nasus scale insanely so thats why you want them top
Talon shuts down almost anyone top lane which is why he good there
But Rumble, Gangplank and Yorick are nearly unstoppable. Singed can beat them late game ALMOST but thats cause he is Singed.

Cho'Gath > Irelia > Garen imo. Cho can farm way more efficient while being able to take a ****load of harras cuz of his great sustain and tanky nature. The only reason I see why the other would be better than Cho is that Cho gets the least out of his farm (as Irelia for example greatly benefits from it cuz she gets TF more quickly).

It's awesome because you're picking the people with like... 0 forms of harass without getting in harms way.

Cho'Gath, Maokai, Morde. All good solo tops if you're even remotely bad. Any melee champ with no range on skills, bad if you don't know exactly what you're doing.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

Warwick, Rumble, Gangplank and Talon beat Olaf solo top if they act smart and don't let him get in free True Damage :P

Warwick gets a Wriggles and can actually beat Olaf 1v1
Rumble is Rumble
Gangplank presses Q (loop Q++ until Olaf = dead)
Talon is Talon
