Good Solo top lane bruiser for ranked

[quote=Alec_V]Whos a good top lane bruiser that is viable for ranked gameplay.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][[darius]] really beats almost everyone in a 1v1 situation, susceptible to jungle ganks, but that puts alot of pressure on solo queue junglers [[nidalee]] split push for days, solo queue stomp [[Jayce]] literally has everything in his kit, kind of retarded [[lee sin]] hard stomp[/quote]

[quote=utopus][quote] Darius really beats almost everyone in a 1v1 situation, susceptible to jungle ganks, but that puts alot of pressure on solo queue junglers[/quote] ^ Pretty damn true. and If your jungler is [[Maokai]] or someone who has a stupidly long range gap closer, you can win lane very very easily. I'd also suggest teemo as a bruiser. [b]If played smartly[/b], he can kite and counter every solotop (except [[yorick]], and maybe [[akali]], after she gets [[hextech revolver]]). He can be built pretty tanky, especially if you follow Therainman's build and grab a [[frozen mallet]] + [[mercury's treads]]. Provides great split pushing power, good mobility, amazing map awareness*, and lastly reliable, sustained, and noticeable damage to squishies and tanks. Like most bruisers, he falls off around the 50+minute mark. Since most games don't last that long nowadays, you should have fun playing him.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod][[Rumble]] beats a lot of toplaners, has great duo queue synergy with AoE champs such as tanky junglers ([[amumu]] being it's favorite), [[Sona]], etc. [[Darius]] and [[Jayce]] for the reasons stated previously, although both have a great "falling off" risk. [[Shen]] for global presence, although he requires investment and is banned quite frequently.[/quote]

[quote=AFKwithyoursister][[riven]] [[renekton]] These are some of my favorites. Have a lot of survivability and mobility and aren't restricted by mana.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]If you want to laneswap and go 2vs1 vs the carry lane, [[dr. mundo]] could be also viable in the lane. He can easily sustain through the damage thanks to high regen and base HP and post 6 nothing can kill him. He also is one of the best for last hitting under the turret.[/quote]

[/quote] For 2v1s, yes, but will he win a lane 1v1? Highly unlikely, and we're talking about ranked soloq, where things like laneswaps don't happen often. If an opponent plays smart, there's no way he can lose to Mundo. Jungle is where it's at, unluckily. My suggestions for ranked: [[malphite]] (if played well, usually doesn't lose lanes, but banned a lot), [[irelia]] (no diving me, son), [[jax]] (b/c snowball OP) and [[darius]] (see [[jax]]). Those champions don't require a lot of commitment IMO and can turn the tides of the battle.[/quote]

[/quote] [[Yorick]], [[Shen]], [[Vladimir]], etc. do it better. They also lane alot better than mundo in general. I'd keep mundo in the jungle. His abilities already cost health so it would be really punishing for him to face a 2v1 lane[/quote]

[quote=Phil Collins][[darius]]. Not because he's a high snowball champ, but because he can make people go AFK in matches.[/quote]
