Just getting a good feel for melee I have a...

[quote=Ghosthawkz]Who are top 5 melee characters for doing top/bottom lanes[/quote]

[quote=xandman666]for top id go with olaf or pantheon or tryndamere or master yi[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka]Top and bottom are different lanes. Melees who are generally considered viable bottom lane are supports, such as [[Taric]] and [[Leona]]. Melees who are generally considered viable top lane are bruisers and offtanks, such as [[Lee Sin]], [[Darius]], [[Jarvan IV]], or [[Shyvana]], although some of these champions are currently considered better in the jungle. These lists are not comprehensive. I'd skip [[Olaf]]. He's been weak since his nerfs and the end of the HP building craze. [[Pantheon]] is generally better mid lane, against mages who don't build as much armor and where he can use his ultimate better. [[Tryndamere]] and [[Master Yi]] are both fine.[/quote]

[quote=Skaeling][[aatrox]] is super strong too, can be built full damage/tank/anything in between.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger][[Aatrox]] also has a huge learning curve, check out [color=#ffffff]Dufftime's[/color] video guide on him if you want to learn more, [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/duffs-only-video-diamond-aatrox-guide-336706][color=#00ffff]Here[/color][/url] or this guide, right [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/blue-ezreal-meet-rainbow-aatrox-333079][color=#00ffff]Here[/color][/url] written by [color=#ff8000]astrolia[/color] which is a very good guide to [[Aatrox]] but if you are new to solo top with melees try using [[Garen]] as he is really good to learn with, also [[Darius]] is good top to atm, unless he is going against [[teemo]] but then again every melee is screwed against [[Teemo]][/quote]

You buy some Mr on Darius then grab him (teemo cant AA you w/o being in grab range) then you 1 shot teemo....... Just rush spectre's cowl. Darius is NOT good in toplane tbh, hes so useless lategame against pretty much everybody, he will get kited by almost any champion. Kennen and Renekton are probably some of the strongest toplaners atm.[/quote]

The only way darius can really get to you is through his flash but, at the same time, you have flash as well. Darius is useless lategame because he is an early game champ. Just like every other early game top, you want to dominate to begin with and snowball the game. And fyi, renekton is in the same boat as darius.[/quote]

[/quote] [url=http://www.championselect.net/champ/Darius]A good Teemo counters a lot of toplane melees[/url], that's why I said that, but if your saying BS to [[Darius]] top lane being strong, I will agree that he does fall off late game, but so do most melee top lanes :P playing top lane is all about the early game yo[/quote]

[quote=Checkered]Singed, Wukong, Jayce, Udyr, Lee Sin are champs that are in the top-tier list for Top lane.[/quote]
