Can someone please recommend some top laners...

[quote=Keebos]I main top lane and play a lot of Jayce, Yorick, and Riven. I've also been playing Fiora lately. I had a pretty large champion pool, but over the past few months I've played most of the champions less and less. I've had almost every top laner in my pool at some point, so I can play most of the pretty well. So can anyone recommend me some more top laners to learn? Also a quick question on Gnar. He was one champion that I started to play, but I lost so much with him even though I dominated. I talked to a friend and he said Gnar was bad, didn't have good teamfight, and couldn't carry. I still disagree with him, but I'd like to hear what your thoughts are on Gnar. Thanks![/quote]

[quote=utopus]Depends how organized your team is. He is really fking annoying in ranked teams, as he can dive quite easily, initiate well, and can deal a lot of damage without actually building any damage items.[/quote]

First two champions will teach you two different, but very important things. [[Ryze]] will teach you how to zone enemy out of experience and pressure them non stop. [[Maokai]] will teach you the importance of tp ganks and how to teamfight as a CC bot. I don't play the other 3 all that much, but they are really strong with a lot of carry and outplay potential. Some other champions to consider are [[Lulu]], [[Jayce]] (you play him already) and [[Dr. Mundo]], but stick to Mao and Ryze for now.[/quote]

[quote=Last Plagas][quote=GrandmasterD] “Soldiers, onward! Also, while you're at it, fetch me a good book, a cup of tea, and some biscuits” — [[Azir]][/quote] I do agree that his laning phase is ridiculous, but I think he's better as a midlaner, because he doesn't have the same tankiness as [[Ryze]] or kiting potential of [[Lulu]]. And he falls into "100 games to master" category. But if you're purple side, he's probably fine.[/quote]

[quote=Chawoora]If you have already played most top laners, it might be hard to recommend anybody. You looking for somebody "fun" to play or somebody to carry you to Platinum? There is no shortage of "best" lists out there, but nerfplz lists the following for solo-queue: God Tier: Wukong, Fiora, Ryze, Maokai Tier 1: Rumble, Swain, Warwick, Irelia, Akali, Lulu, Malphite, Jarvan IV, Tryndamere, Gnar, Yorick, Singed, Teemo, Vladimir, Lissandra, Jayce, Riven, Heimerdinger, Pantheon They think that Gnar is viable (Tier 1).[/quote]

[quote=TheKut]Some that I like are Gnar, Lissandra, Swain, Amumu, Cho'Gath, Heimerdinger, Darius, Volibear, Dr. Mundo, Nautilus, Skarner, Alistar and Maokai. If you're looking for ranked top laners though you will find that unless you know exactly what you're doing most of these aren't very good picks.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I would say [[Gnar]] is pretty good right now. Your friend is right in the sense that he [i]can[/i] have a low impact in teamfights if he's in Mini Gnar form the whole time, but that's honestly not the case most of the time (from my experience, anyway). Also, even with a full tank build he is still really scary in Mega Gnar form in terms of both damage and CC. As far as other top laners go, I currently play / am working on [[Irelia]], [[Rumble]], [[Kayle]], [[Dr. Mundo]], [[Ryze]] and [[Maokai]] for team ranked. Out of those, I would definitely recommend anyone to learn how to play [[Irelia]], because I feel she's a really good choice for showing players how to play top lane (or for generally improving their level of play in top lane). The reason I feel she's a good/interesting champion to play is because of her power level progression throughout the game, the reset mechanic of her Q and the slow/stun mechanic on her E; making effective use of these will often mean the difference between losing/winning a trade. Note that some of the champions you already mentioned ([[Jayce]], [[Fiora]], [[Riven]]) are probably better choices for solo queue than tank champions like [[Maokai]] and [[Dr. Mundo]] as they have more potential to carry a game. Also, as a final sidenote: if you're looking to climb, try to stick to one or two champions you're good at and play them as much as possible. Playing [[Jayce]] & [[Riven]] only (for example) will probably grant you better results than switching from [[Garen]] to [[Wukong]] to [[Riven]] to [[Jayce]] to [[Fiora]] to [[Darius]] to [[Yorick]] and then starting the cycle all over again. Good luck! :)[/quote]
