How the top lane is playing these days

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Akali has a ramp up time and she's a minion aggro fiend...Not saying she can't do work, I just don't see her top a lot....Nor do I play top, but I would think there are better champs to put top...[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]In lane, Akalis strength is her shroud. With ls already being blind it will not work ;p[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Lol OHHHH sorry. I coulda sworn Akali was a good solo lane because she can kill anything in a 1v1 and counters most melee champions for the entire duration of lane phase. I thought that her best item also offering trucks of sustain might have been a strong point, but I guess I was wrong. :3 Silly me, shroud is her strong point. :P[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]She has burst...But she can't combo it until she's level 6. which is what I meant by ramp up. Shroud too stronk.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Does Lee's E still reveal Akali, or did they remove that?[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeah you're correct about that Jeffy. I was just laughing about what Crow said about the shroud, which has nothing to do with her strength in lane xP It does offer her a bit of safety from ganks, that's about it. Pre 6 she doesn't kill anything, you're right. But she does out harass most melee top lane champs, and she does win most hard engages with them to boot :P Then comes level 6, and she just kills mofos. [quote=Luther3000] Does Lee's E still reveal Akali, or did they remove that? [/quote] Yes it does :P Anything stealth/invis.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Duff, Lee is basically the counter to Akali rofl :P He outdamages her pre 6 and sees her in shroud, for example :P Not saying Akali is a bad top, I think she's pretty good. I would probably put her mid but w/e. Pretty sure Tryndamere does well vs Lee in lane.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I don't care if Lee counters Akali.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Cuz Lee Sin is jelly of Tryn's right arm (and his chest) he' sad that he can't look like that...Nor could he see it even if he wanted to...As well, mocking shout is extremely effective against Lee Sin. Because he can't see his other sense (like hearing) are improved dramatically, so Tryn shouting at him not only slows him, but stuns Lee Sin for 3 seconds.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Rofl. Mocking shout 3 second stun. 2 gud.[/quote]
