Hello Moba guys!

I've recently sort of returned to LoL after a loooong break. I've been checkin back every now and then (the website) and the last champ I remember being released and played against was Rengar... yea.. it's been that long.
Anyway, despite all the flaming "people" and because of a friend or two, I've decided to get a bit back into LoL. And.. after playing a few games I think I like playing top the most and think that I might also wanna get a bit into jungling, just in case other people want to top / we have no jungle.
I've pleayed and really liked Gangplank and Darius for top, thought about getting back into Vlad, just to have an AP alternative incase we're too melee heavy. But I'm thinking of picking up a 3rd top, just for variety / me eventually playing ranked games and accounting for bans, and I'm not sure which one to pick up. Atm, I've my eyes set on Xin Zhao / Vlad and I wanted to hear some more experienced peoples opinion on that "choice". Is that wise or are there better choices out there? How good is Xin for top really?

Also, in case of another player wanting top / team / friend feeling more comfortable @ top, I want to learn how to jungle better. I'm sort of looking for champs that can both top and jungle well tbh. I've jungled with Gangplank and it worked out really well so far, but seeing as I have no exp in high Elo and all that, I can't really base my exp on anything, so I'm looking for advice on 1 or 2 jungle champs to pick up. If any of my mentioned champs can work for jungle I'd really like that, even if they're not the best, because I'm really willing to work on improving my skills to make that champ the best possible (not saying I'll ever reach that, but I want to atleast try). If not I guess I just have to get more familiar with a few more champs :)

I want to say thanks in advance if you've read all this, I feel it's a bit messy since I've been thinking about all fo this for a couple of days and I'm just on autopilot writing this :x And if anyone would help me out and post a comment, hints and spill some knowledge on my nooby self, that'd be totally awesome, I'd be so happy and THANK YOU!

Over and out--

There are many strong toplane champions now. Many people are playing Master Yi now because of his update. (Q now deals AD damage) Renekton is still strong. There is a new champion named Zac released a few months (?) ago and he's really strong in the jungle and can also be played toplane. He is really fun to play you may check him out. :D

Jarvan IV is one of my first choices both top and jungle. Very nice armor and mobility against other tops; very nice jungle clear and ganks.

Also, read up on Kha'Zix. :P

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm really liking your comment on Master Yi Bludes, sort of always liked that champ, but not really as an ap for some reason :x

@ Animorte

Actually I haven't thought about Jarvan yet for some reason, dunno why lol, because thinking about it he's actually a really cool champ <.< I'll be sure to read up on him!

About Kha'zix, is that from a pure jungler perspective or top too? Because he strikes me as an assassin / jungler kind of champ for some reason.

Kha'Zix has an assassin, primarily played top or mid but can go jungle. He has an interesting story with Rengar.
